This case study explores how SUZUTECH, working with Recmill, uses 3D laser scanning and digital reality to survey aging sewer infrastructure in Japan. By capturing accurate, repeatable underground data, the teams improved survey safety, measurement accuracy, and long-term infrastructure decision-making.
Industry: Water and sewage infrastructure
Use Case: Underground surveying and inspection
Technology: 3D laser scanning and reality capture software
Region: Japan
Traditional sewer surveys require teams to work in confined, hazardous environments where access is limited and conditions are variable. By adopting 3D scanning for underground surveying, SUZUTECH reduced time spent in high-risk environments while maintaining survey-grade data that supports infrastructure maintenance and renewal.
“By selecting optimal solutions for each environment, above or below ground, we can capture accurate data safely and reduce rework” – Mr. Masashi Suzuki, Co-Representative, SUZUTECH Co., Ltd.
