BRISTOL, UK — April 6, 2025 – Radiodetection, a world leader in utility locating equipment and a subsidiary of SPX Technologies (NYSE: SPXC), is pleased to announce a Global Commercial Strategy with ProStar® Holdings Inc. (TSXV: MAPS) (OTCQX: MAPPF) (FSE: 5D00), the developers of PointMan®, Precision Mapping Solutions®. This strategic collaboration combines Radiodetection’s RD82 series locating devices with PointMan to create a powerful and integrated solution for the global critical buried infrastructure industry.
A Powerful Approach to Subsurface Infrastructure Mapping
With operations in over 60 countries, Radiodetection is a world leader in the management of critical infrastructure and utilities that provides best in class equipment and solutions to locate underground infrastructure for the construction industry whereas ProStar is a world leader in the development of precision mapping solutions. The Commercial strategy represents a major industry transformation by simplifying, reducing cost, and enhancing the workflow of field operations through high-precision geospatial data collection and mapping with a comprehensive and fully integrated solution.
Through this Commercial strategy, Radiodetection will market ProStar’s cloud and mobile precision mapping solution, PointMan, as the preferred mapping solution for Radiodetection’s extensive line of utility locating equipment including the RD8200SG with integrated RTK (Real-Time Kinetics) on a worldwide basis. Combining Radiodetection’s advanced locate equipment with PointMan delivers a seamless, real-time data collection and mapping solution that captures and visualizes the precise location of underground infrastructure with survey-grade accuracy anywhere in the world.
Combining Radiodetection 8000 series utility locators (including the new RD8200SG with RTK), external GNSS receivers, and PointMan (enhanced by Point One RTK correction services), field crews can now easily build high-precision digital maps of underground infrastructure in real time, significantly reducing the complexity, time, and cost of traditional precision mapping.
“Not knowing where utilities are located is a global issue with growing concern regarding public and environmental safety,” said Tom Turner, Product Management & Marketing Director at Radiodetection. “The combination of Radiodetection’s robust utility locating technology with ProStar’s advanced mapping solution is a major step forward in addressing this issue and aligns perfectly with our mission of enhancing safety protocols, reducing risk and costly damages.”
Page Tucker, CEO of ProStar, commented: “We’re proud to join forces with Radiodetection, whose international presence and reputation for excellence in utility locating technologies complement our PointMan precision mapping solutions. This Commercial strategy will accelerate our global reach and drive adoption across multiple industry sectors on a global basis.”
