Infrastructure Construction

Infrastructure is all around us and ever present in our lives. It is expanding at a rapid rate and becoming increasingly congested and complex. It is a sector that has largely been inflexible, which has resulted in serious cost and safety risks to the public. Most of the world is far behind North America in standards and technology that ensures safety and efficiency surrounding infrastructure, especially below the surface.

 If we are to move forward efficiently, we must consider implementing practices and technologies that help us cultivate a culture of damage prevention. This includes proper digital maps and digital infrastructure asset management. Without proper digitization, modern infrastructure technologies and processes that are standard in North America, such as hydrovac daylighting and horizontal directional drilling, are extremely difficult to implement.

INTUS Smartcities has developed services and technologies to ensure that damage and inefficiency are a thing of the past, and that new construction is carried out expeditiously and safely. Through the INTUS Smartcities 360 degree model, utility locating, mapping and pre-engineering are carried out to ensure that all geospatial and utility data is updated and accessible.

From there, INTUS Smartcities offers construction capabilities such as hydrovacing and Horizontal directional drilling, to ensure that the construction and installation of utilities is done effortlessly. INTUS Smartcities guides and assists municipalities outside of North America in reaching the highest standards of infrastructure management.

From inception and design, to construction and maintenance, INTUS Smartcities does its best to leverage experience and technologies to provide stakeholders with comprehensive smart solutions.

By gathering, analyzing and sharing new forms of data, we can improve and adapt decision making in real time. By implementing a set of practices and new technologies we can drive up efficiency and realize new opportunities. And by building new data management systems and more flexible assets, we can improve collaboration and responsiveness for all.

For all types of underground utility installation, Horizontal Directional Drilling is the most common method for drilling in a way which ensures that the environment and existing infrastructure is not damaged or interrupted.
