GPR SurveyELCITA is responsible for providing adequate infrastructure and facilities for Electronics City Citizens. The power and OFC (Optical Fiber Cable) lines serve as the primary lifelines of the electronic city. Any damage incurred during the execution of work would have catastrophic consequences and result in significant losses. Recognising this, ELCITA conducted a GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) survey to accurately identify the locations of the underground utilities.Survey
Periodic painting

works
ELCITA team conducts quarterly painting to guarantee and prolong the life span of MS railings preventing corrosion.
Road AssessmentsRoad condition monitoring is performed using AI-based software, which helps capture images of potholes with accurate longitude and latitude coordinates. The software can identify 10 types of road defects and generate detailed segment-wise reports. Defects are graded from level 0 to 4, with color coding indicating the priority of stretches of roads requiring immediate attention. Based on the analysis, road rectification plans can be formulated. Minor road defects and potholes are addressed by the in-house team using Road Bond, while major defects are outsourced to contracted services.Road Metrics
