Data capture
Data capture records your tunnel's condition at specific locations using 360-degree imagery and sensor readings.
Our team has developed camera rigs to optimize 360 imagery quality in various tunnel conditions. We use robots, service vehicles, and drones to carry the equipment, reducing the need for surveyors on-site and increasing inspection efficiency.
Our other services
Use any combination of our services to best suit your needs. Loupe360 was built to support data from a variety of sources to allow you to capture your own data. Please Enquire if you have any questions.
Why choose automated tunnel inspections?
Loupe360 uses automation to improve the data capture process
Increased repeatability
Compared to traditional survey methods that are subject to the opinion of a surveyor, our automated processes produce consistent results. Enabling reliable comparisons to be made between surveys.
Our Dashboard makes all survey data available for review at any point after the survey to ensure its accuracy.
Reduced survey costs
Adopting automated tunnel inspections will reduce survey costs due to increased efficiency and resource optimisation.
Our methods continuously capture data at an average speed of 5km/h with a small team of operators. Resulting in significant cost savings compared to deploying a larger team, for a longer period, to carry out a manual inspection.
Our work with UKPN suggests that our processes can reduce the number of personnel per survey from 6 to 2. Future advancements in our automation processes aim to further reduce this.
Mitigate health and safety risks
Automated tunnel inspections mitigate health and safety risks associated with traditional surveys, especially in hazardous environments like confined spaces.
Our capture methods enable the tunnel's condition to be recorded without the need for personnel to directly access hazardous environments.

Robotic dog
Our camera payload can be attached to a remote controlled robotic dog that navigates through a tunnel to perform a survey:
- Quick deployment time and data capture rate of 3.6km/h.
- Great for hazardous environments, particularly confined spaces due to its low profile.
- Potential for a hands-off survey where the robot uses the path it travelled during a previous survey to perform another.
Boston dynamic's SPOT the dog was effectively used to survey UKPN's service tunnels during our work together.
