Instant Accuracy for your Field Crews
Accurate data matters most after the trench closes. Our friends at Mountaineer Gas manage more than 6,000 miles of pipeline across West Virginia. Its crews use more than 100 Bad Elf Flex Extreme GNSS receivers with Esri Field Maps to capture critical infrastructure in the field. In many cases, crews achieve accuracy within 0.4 inches.
The strategy is simple: capture it right the first time.
Better location accuracy helps crews document valves, fittings, service lines, and other assets before they disappear underground. That creates stronger records for maintenance, compliance, utility locates, and emergency response.

Now make the connection easier!
Instant Accuracy removes extra steps from the RTK workflow.
Pair a Bad Elf Flex or Flex Mini over Bluetooth and the Flex app can connect to corrections in the background. Crews can move directly into their field collection app instead of bouncing between apps to start and monitor corrections.
For administrators, saved RTK NTRIP profiles can be shared by QR code, URL, or MDM. Set up the connection once, distribute it to the team, and let crews focus on collecting data instead of configuring receivers. Less clicking. Better records. Happier field crews.
That is a pretty good day in the utility world!
