What exactly is TRACE Reality Capture?

We use affordable 360-degree cameras and drones to capture high-resolution imagery of underground infrastructure. That footage is processed into interactive visualizations you can navigate in any web browser or mobile device. Think of it as creating a virtual, detailed replica of your infrastructure that anyone in your organisation can access and explore.

Is this really better than being on-site?

For many purposes, yes. The high-resolution imagery often reveals details better than being physically present, especially in dark, confined spaces. You can zoom, annotate, and consult experts remotely, and review conditions multiple times. That said, you'll still need physical site visits for certain work—this helps you know what you're dealing with before you get there.

Do we need special software?

No. Access is through any standard web browser—Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox. It works on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. No downloads, no special installations, no complex training.

Who actually does the site capture?

Your operational teams. We train your staff to capture the data as part of their normal inspection and maintenance routines. This isn't outsourced to specialists—it's a capability you own.

How is this different from traditional site inspections?

Traditional inspections rely on someone physically entering a confined space with a torch, making subjective assessments, and maybe taking a few photos. Our approach captures complete, high-resolution imagery without confined space entry, creates a permanent visual record accessible to everyone, and reveals details that often hide in shadows or get missed during quick physical inspections.
