Project description
Precise subsurface information for city constructions
The construction industry in urban areas faces a significant challenge with underground soil, highlighting the need for solutions that offer reliable subterranean information. The EIC-funded WIDMO Cities project proposes a solution that provides high-precision information about what lies beneath the ground, including geology, utilities, and the locations of underground infrastructure. This solution empowers stakeholders to accurately identify the positions of gas pipes, waterways, and electric cables, establish geological profiles, and detect potential hazards such as landslides and sinkholes. The innovative technology enables the rapid gathering and processing of information, thereby reducing the risk and cost of construction and enhancing public safety. WIDMO Cities serves as a comprehensive resource for all things underground, revolutionising the construction surveying industry.
Objective
WIDMO Cities is a breakthrough, non-invasive solution for the cities and companies within the construction sector. WIDMO Cities will provide access to very high-precision subterranean information (geology, utilities, and underground infrastructure location). This information can be used two folds:
1. To determine the exact location of the gas pipe, waterways, and electric cables at the project planning stage
2. To establish the geological profile and recognize possible landslides and sink holes hazards.
WIDMO Cities has the technology that allows for rapid gathering and processing of the described information giving any stakeholder incredibly easy access to the needed data. This not only significantly decreases the risk and cost of construction but also alleviates safety hazards associated with geological faults. WIDMO Cities will be a global one-stop shop for everything that lies underground. We will revolutionize the construction surveying industry and improve public safety.
