Groundpin

GroundPin is a shared utility map for UK construction sites. When a crew finds something buried that the drawings missed — a cable, a water main, a gas pipe — they drop a pin with a photo and a note. Every phase that follows sees it before they dig.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Drop a pin in 15 seconds — GPS fix, on-site photo, utility type, risk rating and a short note
• View every pin on a live map alongside the whole team in real time
• Mark utilities using HSG47 colours (the same standard every CAT survey, utility drawing and mark-out team in the UK
already uses)
• Browse pins offline — they queue locally and sync when you're back on 4G
• See a full audit trail: every pin, edit and photo is stamped with a named user and a time

WHO IT'S FOR

GroundPin is built for UK contractors, groundworkers, M&E subcontractors, site managers and principal contractors who need a reliable record of what's below ground — not a WhatsApp thread, and not a photo library sitting on one foreman's phone.

WHY IT MATTERS

Utility strikes are the leading cause of serious injury in UK groundworks. CAT scanning and trial-hole excavation still apply — GroundPin doesn't replace them. What it replaces is the chalk mark that washes off, the photo buried in someone's camera roll, and the verbal handover that never quite happened.

If a CDM coordinator or a solicitor later asks who knew what and when, the audit trail is already there.
