UtiliSphere’s Sketching Tool Enhances Damage Prevention Efforts

Locators can document assets in 3D with our sketching functionality. By adding details to an activity that is taking place in the field, you can truly understand the relationship between the activity and the asset at risk.

Distances between assets, angle and depth of crossing, plus the exact location of the crossing can be documented and are key elements to defining the risk of an activity.

Not only will sketching enhance your damage prevention efforts and the safety of excavators, it allows you to be compliant with one call centers that require a sketch with the response. There is no need to take a picture of an offline sketch on paper to submit when you have sketching available right on our platform. You can easily create sketches, document in a three-dimensional way and better prepare your assets for risks found in the field.

UtiliSphere’s sketching functionality offers tremendous flexibility. Users can start a sketch from a blank canvas, an image or a map. You can configure custom tools and toolboxes to be used by your team or access a robust set of built-in drawing tools such as free-hand drawing, polygons, arrows, text, facilities and images. A color picker allows users to set the color of a drawn element. Locators can use the text feature to comment directly on the image to provide an even greater level of detail.

Sketches are considered attachments in UtiliSphere and therefore are part of your storage allotment.

Yes! You can export sketches in either PNG or PDF formats from UtiliSphere.
