Portable manhole 3D scanning and modeling system

MX-100 Manhole Inspection System

Capture manhole interiors from ground level, reconstruct the space in 3D, measure features, review findings, and create documented inspection outputs.

The inspection challenge

Traditional visual checks can leave incomplete, difficult-to-review records.

The MX-100 is designed to support ground-level data capture and reduce the need for routine entry. It does not replace site safety procedures or professional judgment.

Outputs

Build an inspection record that can be reviewed after the field visit.

Review the separate visual, spatial, and reporting outputs produced by the MX-100 workflow.

MX-100 HD video views of manhole interiors and captured surface details

HD Video

Panoramic imagery and video provide visual records of shaft walls, pipelines, and base structures for later review.

3D Mesh Model

A reconstructed mesh represents the manhole interior for spatial review and documentation.

Point cloud views of reconstructed underground structures

Point Cloud

Colorized spatial data shows captured geometry and supports measurement and inspection workflows.

Unwrapped manhole wall image for reviewing and documenting surface conditions

Unwrap Image

An unwrapped wall view helps reviewers examine and document surface conditions around the manhole.

Manhole inspection report with model views and recorded inspection details

Defect Report

Organized inspection records can bring together captured imagery, model views, and reviewed findings. Confirm report fields and local requirements for your workflow.

MX-100 collection and processing software interfaces

Collection and processing

Monitor capture, reconstruct the interior, measure, and document.

The collection interface presents operational status and camera views. MXview 360 supports parsing, reconstruction, model unfolding, measurement, and report generation.

Exact AI detection scope, GIS integration, connectivity options, and report configuration require current confirmation.

Applications

Designed for underground asset documentation.

✓Municipal drainage manholes
✓Utility and telecommunications manholes
✓Pipeline-network upgrade documentation
✓Smart-city underground asset surveys
✓Before-and-after retrofit records
✓Damage, deformation, leakage, blockage, and silt review where configured and validated

Operating considerations

Ground-level operation

Designed to reduce routine manhole entry, not to eliminate all safety obligations.

Environmental limits

IP64 and -10°C to 50°C are listed; chemical exposure and site-specific limitations require evaluation.

AI-assisted review

Do not assume every defect will be detected or that review is fully autonomous.

Integration

Confirm standard versus optional connectivity, sensors, GIS, APIs, and software licensing.

Evaluate the MX-100 against your manhole types, depth, environment, and reporting requirements.
