4M Analytics Ltd

4M Analytics Ltd, founded in 2019, compiles millions of scattered public utility records into a single map for civil engineers and infrastructure projects. Using remote sensing, artificial intelligence and computer vision, the company provides instant subsurface utility data intended for planning, designing and building infrastructure. Its stated aim is to do for the underground what Google Maps did for the surface.

The company's product, the Utility AI Platform, aggregates public records into one interface that gives engineers access to verifiable utility data without lengthy manual research. 4M Analytics reports that more than 400,000 miles of utilities have been mapped remotely, that over 1,000 civil engineers have used the service, and that customers have mapped 1.3 million acres. The firm says it has partnered with more than 100 civil engineering teams and that engineers save weeks of manual utility research.

The technical work spans remote sensing, artificial intelligence, computer vision, geospatial mapping, subsurface utility detection, and the compilation and digitisation of data. Target sectors include infrastructure, construction, civil engineering, utilities, and utility research and mapping. 4M Analytics states that its focus is on making infrastructure planning smarter, faster and safer. The company is backed by Insight Partners and Viola Ventures.
