FIELD
Underground utility documentation
Time figures are illustrative same-section estimates, not measured or additive savings. Access, coverage, processing and quality requirements affect actual results.
Recommended setup
Combine V4e Go field capture with Model Web processing to create traceable underground utility records before backfill.
Handheld LiDAR Scanner
Capture detailed 3D site geometry as you walk.
Before ordering: select the GNSS or no-GNSS option, check phone compatibility, correction needs, mounting accessories and Model Web processing costs.
Cloud processing & review
Process, measure and share point clouds in your browser.
Confirm supported inputs, activated modules, storage/credits and export costs. A software subscription is not assumed to be included with hardware.
Workflow
Swipe to explore
Step 01
Agree the scan area and delivery requirements. Set the project number, section ID and date before the backfill window.
Keep records tied to the correct section.
Quality checks: Scan boundary, required outputs and section reference.
Deliverable: A traceable section brief.
Step 02
Connect V4e Go to your phone, check the connection and scan the required section before backfill.
Capture exposed site conditions before they are covered.
Quality checks: Phone connection, scan status and coverage of the required area.
Deliverable: Original scan data linked to the section record.
Step 03
Check the point cloud on your phone while on site. Rescan gaps, then upload to Model Web for automatic processing.
Resolve missing capture while the section is still accessible.
Quality checks: Point cloud coverage, upload completion and processing status.
Deliverable: A complete scan uploaded for automatic processing.
Step 04
Verify the processed scan in Model Web, then extract the measurements and data you need from the point cloud or mesh model.
Turn the scan into usable project information.
Quality checks: Processed coverage, geometry, project reference and required data.
Deliverable: Verified measurements and data from the point cloud or mesh.
Step 05
Save the verified data with the original scan and section details. Share the project or export the agreed files for handover.
Keep the same record available to field and office teams.
Quality checks: Saved project, agreed file formats, file readability and access permissions.
Deliverable: A saved dataset and a traceable handover package.
Step 06
On a revisit, open the section’s earlier scan, capture the visible area again and compare the two records to review changes.
Use past site records to understand what has changed.
Quality checks: Same section, shared coordinate reference, capture dates and comparable visible surfaces.
Deliverable: A new scan and a comparison with the historical record.

Calculate your ROIApplication requirements
The required utility assets must be exposed and visible from a safe access position. Water, mud, occlusion and inaccessible areas must be recorded as limitations.
Do not assume automatic identification. Confirm diameter and material from labels, drawings or manual inspection. Depth requires a surface or design elevation, a shared datum and measurement evidence. Unseen sections are not reconstructed as verified facts.
