The Utility Analytics Panel provides a high-level overview of utility data within any project.
It’s designed to give planners, engineers, and field teams a comprehensive view of subsurface infrastructure and associated utility assets, enabling better, faster, and safer decisions.
There are three main components you’ll see in the panel:
Utility Lines Segmentation
Utility Objects Segmentation
Utility Ownership
Let’s walk through each section and what you can do with it.
Utility Line Segmentation
What It Shows:
This section summarizes the total mileage of utility lines mapped in your project area, segmented by:
Total Length
Underground vs. Aboveground
Utility Sector
Each utility type is color-coded and represented visually in a horizontal bar, giving you an instant sense of distribution across sectors.
How to Use It:
Quickly gauge which utility types dominate the project area.
Understand the depth context (underground vs. aboveground).
Use the Explore button to view line-level detail or jump into sector-specific lines for deeper insights.
Utility Objects Segmentation
What It Shows:
This section breaks down individual utility-related objects detected in the area, such as manholes, poles, inlets, hydrants, valves, pedestals, and more.
It includes a total object count and a breakdown by type to help you understand the physical infrastructure footprint on-site.
How to Use It:
Use this data to assess surface-level congestion and plan field logistics.
Click See Coverage to visualize where these objects are detected on the map, highlighting full vs. limited coverage areas.
Utility Ownership
What It Shows:
This section reveals how many distinct utility owners are the owners of the infrastructure within the project scope.
You’ll see:
A total count of utility owners
A bar chart showing how ownership is distributed across sectors (e.g., how many owners manage communication lines)
A legend identifying sector colors (Communication, Electricity, Water, etc.)
Clicking View List opens a more detailed Utility Insights Panel.
How to Use It:
Once inside the full panel, you can:
See the owner names by sector and sub-sector
View line lengths per owner
Click "Show Only" next to any utility to visualize its location on the map
Filter by sector using the chart
Search for a specific utility owner using the search bar
Toggle between underground and aboveground views in the Utility Sectors tab using the hamburger menu
Export the list of utility owners to a CSV file.
More Granular Line-Level Insights
By clicking on utility lines directly on the map, users can access detailed attributes, such as:
Utility Sector
Utility Owner
Elevation
Line Length
Line source
(When available) Material, Size, and Installation Date, and more.
This gives planners deeper visibility into the makeup of specific assets and helps with accurate coordination and risk assessments.
