IMPROVE UTILITY ASSET DESIGN & INSIGHTS

Simplify Data Capture and Improve Decisions

Optimize planning and design, improve structural insights, ensure safety and efficiency of crews, and proactively support maintenance decisions.

1. Setup
Initialize GPS and acquire satellite lock. Capture ground control points and other points of interest as you survey the site.
2. Capture
Capture everything you see from one screen, while also tracking your path and tagging features. People and vehicles are automatically filtered
3. Process
Upload captured site data to the cloud. Looq’s proprietary software automatically applies Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) to improve geolocation accuracy, builds precise, sub-centimeter, georeferenced 3D and 2D models, and extracts critical semantic and geometric features.
4. Assess
Inspect substation assets in 3D—click to view measurements, metadata, and equipment types. Select and classify components with exact locations, elevations, and clearances—fully structured for design and analysis.
5. Export
Export imagery, point clouds, vector linework, and metadata in standard formats including DWG, DXF, LAS/LAZ, CSV, LandXML, and PLS for seamless integration into design or asset inspection workflows.
6. Validate
Construct high accuracy models and extract features of utility assets as they currently exist. Compare models to CAD models and prior model constructions to validate asset health and compliance. Document previously undocumented and modified assets. Validate rebuilds and restorations after damaging or destructive events.

Featured Capabilities

Project Setup & Capture

Real-Time Visual Confirmation

The qCam mobile interface displays a live 2D map of your path alongside the camera's field of view, enabling you to select points of interest and ensuring complete and accurate coverage.

Processing Outputs

AI reconstructed outputs include intelligent, high-resolution 2D datasets; panoramic and orthomosaic imagery; and 3D point clouds.

Classification

Classifying data across transmission, distribution, and substation infrastructure can help you transform visual captures into structured, actionable insights—enabling accurate design validation, asset management, compliance reporting, and advanced modeling. It lays the groundwork for automation, digital twins, and intelligent decision-making.

Analysis

Point Selection

Identify assets—transformers, breakers, disconnects, and insulators—and provide additional attribute information such as location, clearances, measurements and elevations, and connection points.

Measurement

Inspect any substation structure or asset in the 3D environment and identify measurements helping designers understand existing conditions prior to new designs or new equipment installation.

Visualization

Inspect power lines and vegetation with precision for efficient planning. Spot risks before they escalate, create smart trimming plans, and track progress post-maintenance.

Export

From the web environment, extract georeferenced features directly from your 3D point cloud and imagery. Export for use in design applications (AutoCAD, Inventor, Revit, MicroStation) and in GIS or asset management systems.

Utility Innovates with Looq AI

Central Hudson Gas & Electric partnered with Looq to rapidly capture, create, and analyze a large, representative data set of distribution poles, lines, and substations including creation of 3D point clouds; panoramas; ortho-images (nadir view); segmentations of lines, poles, vegetation, ground and other features; and extraction of line-pole geometry for loading analysis.​

FLY-THROUGHS

3D Point Clouds

The accuracy and detail of 3D models generated from point clouds make them essential—providing a current, measurable view of terrain, structures, and assets—critical for planning, design, construction, and maintenance.
