Leica Geosystems Launches DS4000: Deeper, Smarter Utility Detection for Modern Infrastructure

Summer, 2025 – Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, introduced the Leica DS4000, a next-generation underground utility detection system that pushes the boundaries of depth, accuracy, and ease of use. Engineered for today’s complex urban environments, the DS4000 is designed to help professionals locate buried infrastructure with greater confidence and clarity.

Powered by IDS GeoRadar’s patented Equalised Scrambling Technology (EsT), the DS4000 identifies underground assets up to 60% deeper than traditional systems. This advanced signal processing improves detection across all depths, even revealing smaller utilities like fibre optic cables—minimizing the risk of damage during excavation.

➡️ Accurate Data & Reduced Risk

With extended detection capabilities and clearer imaging, surveyors can now collect more accurate data in challenging environments, while construction and utility teams benefit from reduced risk, fewer costly delays, and improved jobsite safety.

➡️ Simplify Your Detection Workflow

Built for urban versatility, the compact, lightweight design enables single-person operation across various terrains. Swappable wheels and an auto-adjusting antenna enhance flexibility, while Quick Scan Mode optimizes workflow—saving time and lowering operational costs.

➡️ Unlimited Data Collection, Streamlined Management

Equipped with the latest in software integration, the DS4000 includes uMap for fast field data capture and IQMaps for advanced post-processing—ensuring seamless data management from scan to analysis.
