ProStar integrates software into utility locator

ProStar Holdings based in Grand Junction has announced the integration of its mobile mapping software into a utility locator device.

ProStar integrated its PointMan software into the Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3 with real time kinematic technology. The combination creates the first utility locator device with a global navigation satellite system receiver and the ability to locate buried utilities with centimeter accuracy.

“For the entire infrastructure and construction industry, this is a pivotal moment not only in the breakthrough technology, but the precision and real-time delivery of data where and when it’s most needed,” said Page Tucker, chief executive officer of ProStar.

Mark Drew, president of Vivax-Metrotech, agreed, “We are very excited with the vLoc3-RTK locator and its integration with ProStar’s PointMan.”

Combing the locator and PointMan software means underground utilities and other infrastructure anywhere in the world can be located and the data recorded, displayed and shared from mobile devices.

ProStar provides mobile and cloud precision mapping solutions designed to locate, map and manage underground utilities and pipelines. For more information, visit www.prostarcorp.com.
