Here is what happened in damage prevention this April: National Safe Digging Month concluded in the US. Utilities and damage prevention advocates across the country wrapped up major public awareness campaigns, reminding homeowners and contractors to contact 811 before any digging project. The 2026 CGA Conference & Expo in Colorado was a huge success. Key discussions focused on the findings of the new DIRT Report, the financial and social costs of damages, and leveraging new technologies to create a safer future for the industry. A major theme this year is the rise of digital twins as living models of our underground infrastructure. By integrating 3D intelligence and cloud-based platforms, digital twins are moving the industry beyond legacy records to unified digital frameworks that reduce mislocates and accelerate decision-making. To support this shift, we are thrilled to announce the launch of GeolantisNEO, the new generation of utility mapping. As a vendor-agnostic solution, GeolantisNEO empowers organizations to capture high-precision field data seamlessly, providing the exact foundation needed to build reliable digital twins and prevent infrastructural disasters.
