Take Control of Complex Utility Projects with Underground

AGTEK’s Underground software is an innovative solution designed to simplify and optimize the planning and management of underground utility construction projects. Whether working on storm, sewer, water, gas, electric, or telecommunications systems, this powerful tool enables contractors to accurately estimate, model, and visualize complex installations with ease. 

With Underground, you can effortlessly take off lengths and counts of pipes, laterals, joints, valves, and other fixtures, while analyzing pipe layouts and excavation volumes by depth brackets to ensure precise bidding quantities. The software also allows you to visualize strata layers for better planning and material management, while its advanced clash detection capabilities help identify and resolve design conflicts before construction begins. 

By providing detailed 3D visualizations, trench modeling, and precise material takeoffs, Underground empowers contractors to streamline project planning, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. From small-scale installations to large infrastructure projects, it ensures compliance with design specifications and enhances productivity at every stage of the process. 

Whether you’re preparing bids, managing resources, or coordinating field operations, Underground gives you the tools to tackle complex underground construction challenges with confidence. Plan smarter, work faster, and deliver results with unmatched accuracy.

Clash Detection

Resolve issues in the office before they become an expensive problem in the field with powerful clash detection algorithms. Find clashes between pipe classes and specify clearance parameters to ensure costly issues are avoided. Bring your pipe and trench data to life with rich 3D graphics to see issues and create alternative construction scenarios. Synchronize data to mobile apps putting actionable information in the hands of those in the field.

“AGTEK’s Underground module has completely changed how we plan and execute utility installations. The ability to visualize trench routes and calculate pipe quantities with precision has saved us countless hours and reduced errors in the field.”
