Sub-Surface Utility Engineering

PointMan is Designed to Meet Sub-Surface Utility Engineering Data Collection Standards

The need for civil engineering teams to know the precise location of buried utilities and assets is a driving force behind the rapid expansion of Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE.) With PointMan, SUE firms can easily and affordably ensure that their client will have mission-critical infrastructure data with documented quality and accuracy for faster and more confident decisions.
PointMan® significantly reduces risks and liabilities associated with not knowing the location of buried utilities. PointMan is designed to capture, record, and display the precise location of buried utilities, including mission-critical data, all in real-time.
“PointMan delivers to KCI a more efficient workflow process, trusted data quality and precision, and it is also, by far, the easiest I have ever used when compared to any of the other major mobile GIS solutions on the market,” stated Joseph Porter National SUE Training and Quality Control Manager, KCI.

Municipalities

PointMan is Designed to Improve the Management of Your Critical Infrastructure, Both Above and Below Ground

Not knowing the location of buried utilities is a major concern for any municipality.  Far too often, buried utilities are not where existing records indicate they are. The result can be line strikes that lead to serious injuries, significant delays, and a dramatic increase in project costs. It is also a major risk and liability to the public and worker safety.

PointMan® is a modern and easy-to-use asset management system. With PointMan, you can now easily and affordably go from paper to digital. To make your transition even easier, we can convert your current as-built drawings into digital records and import them into PointMan.
“ProStar’s solution was chosen for many key reasons including the fact it is affordable, easy to use, and provides exactly what we need to meet the NJDEP mandate for precision and collection parameters standards,” stated Sandra Caceres Director of Public Works for the Township of Aberdeen, New Jersey. “There is nothing on the market even remotely close to PointMan, and I believe that there will be a larger number of other small municipalities in the U.S. that are also looking for a comprehensive mapping solution that is affordable and easy to implement and manage and in particular here in New Jersey based on state mandates.”

Universities

PointMan is Designed to Improve the Management of Critical Infrastructure Assets on Campus 

Not knowing the location of buried utilities is a major concern for any University.  Many Universities and colleges were built nearly a century ago or more.  Far too often, buried utilities were not mapped or are not where existing records indicate they are. The result can be line strikes that lead to serious injuries, significant delays, and a dramatic increase in project costs. It is also a major risk and liability to the students and faculty members.

"Grinnell College is located on 120 acres with miles of buried telecom infrastructure critical to operations. To protect and maintain our expanding and valued buried infrastructure, we realized the need for precise maps and accurate locates. We selected ProStar’s PointMan platform from our search for a GIS mapping platform that was easy to adopt, met our precision requirements for reference and locating needs, and flexibility for future GIS needs,” said David Ellis, Director of Network Services, Grinnell College.

Construction

PointMan is Designed to Improve Your Workflow Processes and Reduce Risks Associated with Construction

Not knowing the location of buried utilities is a major concern for infrastructure construction companies when groundbreaking activities are required. Far too often, buried utilities are not where existing records indicate they are. The result can be line strikes that lead to serious injuries, significant delays, and a dramatic increase in project costs.

“PointMan Pro is just a better way to do data collection and reduce risks and liabilities associated with the construction of our critical infrastructure projects,” said Dustin Kelsey, Project Manager at Kraemer. “I can see other infrastructure construction firms, both large and small, following in our footsteps and adopting PointMan.”

Zoo

Protecting The Pipes, The Public, and The Penguins

The Tulsa Zoo has adopts ProStar’s solution, PointMan, to improve the management and maintenance of critical infrastructure and help protect over 3,000 animals living at the zoo.
“We have a nearly 100-year-old facility that functions very much like a city within a city. It is dynamic, with over 3,000 animals and a spiderweb of buried pipes and utilities,” stated Cody Dunkin, Operations Manager for the Tulsa Zoo. “PointMan provides us the ability to easily and accurately map existing infrastructure for both maintaining our large facility and making informed decisions about future construction projects. The fact that all of our critical infrastructure data can now be stored in one place and is easily accessible when and where we need it provides a technology that we can’t afford to live without.”
