"The 3D Underground initiative aims to stack data on pipes, cables, conduits, and soil into one shared view, allowing planners to identify conflicts before construction begins."
"Mayor Eric Adams described the 3D Underground project as a groundbreaking $10 million initiative that seeks to reduce delays and improve emergency response capabilities."
"The Office of Technology and Innovation plans to blend geotechnical reports with ground-scanning pilots to create a continuous 3D model of soils and utilities."
"Planners and builders are optimistic that a single authoritative map can help avoid cost overruns caused by mismatched as-builts and unexpected utility discoveries."
New York City is developing a 3D digital map to visualize underground utilities and soil, aimed at expediting construction projects. The initiative, named 3D Underground, is a $10 million effort to enhance planning and emergency response by allowing city agencies and utility companies to share data. The Office of Technology and Innovation will digitize geotechnical reports and integrate ground-scanning data to create a comprehensive model. This project is expected to minimize delays and costs associated with unexpected utility conflicts during construction.
