Prezerv
Prezerv has developed an innovative technology that combines artificial intelligence, advanced signal processing, and 3D radar scanning to provide automated, accurate 3D underground maps of utilities and geospatial analytics to construction contractors, engineering firms, and asset owners such as utilities and infrastructure agencies.
Prezerv’s platform is designed to solve the problems caused by non-visible underground utility lines accidentally encountered during civil and energy infrastructure projects, causing costly project delays, property damages, personal injuries, and environmental harm.
By quickly and automatically generating an accurate 3D map of the underground for large areas, such as an entire city, Prezerv’s platform will accelerate and save costs for many construction projects and provide significant environmental benefits. For example, Prezerv will deliver geospatial analytics that will expedite the development of new transmission lines from renewable energy sources to population centers and the buildout of EV charging stations. In addition, Prezerv’s accurate underground maps will help construction contractors mitigate safety risks and reduce their carbon footprints.

About the Technology
Prezerv is shaping the future of the construction and energy sectors with its innovative AI platform. The technology automates the accurate interpretation of 3D radar signals, a complex process currently managed by costly specialists. The platform has the potential to significantly improve the way capital projects are planned and executed, offering cost reduction, enhanced safety, and a smoother transition to renewable energy. Moreover, it supports the larger goals of environmental sustainability.
Permitting and design often pose significant challenges for renewable energy projects. Prezerv’s 3D maps serve as digital twins, enabling quicker exploration and simulation of optimal distribution and transmission routes. This could significantly accelerate the planning and design stages of grid modernization and new transmission projects from renewable energy projects to population centers, and streamline the electrification of existing transportation facilities such as bus depots. Once a design is completed, Prezerv’s platform provides utility and energy companies with a way to clearly and effectively communicate proposed routes to service providers, local agencies, and communities. This can enhance understanding, facilitate approvals, and expedite project execution.
Construction contractors stand to gain significantly from this technology. It allows them to identify potential safety hazards and prevent accidental strikes on underground utilities. This increases the efficiency of their teams and enhances their reputation in the industry while reducing financial and safety risks. Prezerv’s solution could also substantially reduce the construction industry’s carbon footprint. The company estimates that accurate 3D underground maps could cut construction-related carbon emissions by about 285 million tons of CO2 annually.
With its innovative AI platform, Prezerv is improving industry practices and making significant strides in promoting environmental and economic sustainability.
