CivilGrid Boosts Efficiency with Expansion into Arizona and Nevada Markets

CivilGrid Expands Its Reach into Arizona and Nevada

In a significant move for the civil design intelligence sector, CivilGrid has announced its expansion into the burgeoning markets of Arizona and Nevada. With an innovative approach often described as the 'Google Maps for the underground,' CivilGrid aims to transform how civil engineers and construction teams operate in these states.

CivilGrid's platform has been recognized for its ability to centralize an extensive range of utility maps and historical site datasets. This capability is set to significantly enhance the building process for engineering and construction teams that often struggle with complex challenges. In fact, the industry faces staggering losses—over $100 billion annually due to planning-related construction errors. Furthermore, a striking 92% of projects reportedly exceed their budgets or timelines, highlighting the critical need for more efficient solutions.

The driving force behind this expansion is the introduction of a dataset that enhances due diligence, engineering, and the overall construction process, aimed at mitigating risks and accelerating timelines.

Caisey Raines, the US West Business Group Leader for Linear Infrastructure at GHD, praised the tool, noting its effectiveness in providing instant access to utility information during the planning and early design phases. He emphasized that being able to identify affected agencies along project alignments and capturing field observations directly contributes to better decision-making.

Additionally, CivilGrid is designed to streamline pre-construction phases by as much as 90%. Its curated datasets help reduce design delays and minimize field surprises, thereby improving project scope accuracy. Bill Tuttle, Vice President of Engineering at San Jose Water, strongly recommended CivilGrid for utility companies, highlighting its unparalleled ability to provide essential combined utility information that is often unavailable in many areas.

The challenges faced by engineering teams in Arizona and Nevada mirror those encountered in California, including fragmented data sources and time-consuming research phases. This is where CivilGrid’s innovative platform shines, as it consolidates crucial utility information and enhances the pre-construction process immensely.

Josh Mackanic, the CEO and Co-Founder of CivilGrid, commented on the significance of this expansion: 'Engineering firms are increasingly expected to deliver faster, more precise work while grappling with the complexities of outdated tools for navigating the underground utility landscape. Our expansion into Arizona and Nevada directly addresses these challenges. We’re eliminating inefficiencies by centralizing critical datasets that reduce design delays and surprises in the field.'

This move comes in response to demand from clients based in California who require CivilGrid’s platform for their cross-state projects and from a growing waitlist of firms in Arizona and Nevada eager for coverage.

As CivilGrid ventures into these new markets, it does so as a beacon of innovation, promising to reshape the future of civil engineering and construction with its cutting-edge technology. The platform’s commitment to fostering seamless collaboration and providing on-demand access to vital underground data ensures that civil engineers and construction teams have the necessary tools to efficiently and safely execute their projects.
