What is XYZ Inspection?

What is XYZ Inspection?

XYZ Inspection is a high-precision pipeline mapping technology used to track the horizontal and vertical positions of pipelines. By combining inertial measurements with ground markers, it provides geographic coordinates for all pipeline features, including welds and installations, offering accurate positioning data.
