Underground Network Solutions

A metropolitan smart city solution

The underground for us is the basement of every metropolitan city. It is the "machine room" that keeps things running. Although not usually visible, several activities take place behind-the-scenes as cities continue to maintain an extensive network of infrastructure. And if this "machine room" comes to a standstill or operations do not run as planned, our everyday city life can get affected. Hence, it is essential to constantly monitor the underground network to ensure uninterrupted city life.

Preserving safety requires vigilance and transparency. As of today, this is mainly achievable by regularly scheduled routine manual work, which is not only expensive, but time intensive and physically demanding.

With our Underground Network Solution, control and maintenance operations can be optimized using developing technologies that enable early detection, quick remedy, and incident prevention. By minimizing incidents that could occur, we are able to increase the quality of life, safety, and well-being of each citizen – while saving time, increasing reliability, and reducing costs.

Manhole Cover Monitoring

Manholes get under infrastructure pressure and are usually prone to malfunction situations. These situations can be avoided with installed sensors that can continuously collect and transmit data on the asset condition and provide a holistic picture of their situation at all times.

The sensors can trigger alarms as soon as a malfunction occurs, and analysis of the data can help predict and initiate repairs before a catastrophic event occurs. Not only can critical incidents be prevented, but checks can be carried out in an orderly and optimized fashion, savings costs and time.

Underground Cable Analytics

The traditional approach to cable testing is reactive, which means that the cable will be tested only in the event of a failure for necessary repairs to be carried out. However, with the latest technology, systematically anchored to enable early detection, quick remedy or complete incident prevention is possible. 

By analyzing patterns from available data, we can predict which cables are in critical condition and needs to be checked. This effective method allows the avoidance of unnecessary exchanges and helps to tackle incidents preventively.
