For example plats, zoning, public work (street, water supply, sewer, garbage collection, land ownerships, and valuation.) RS and GIS techniques have an efficient adaption to manipulation of spatial and non-spatial data and provide decision support system to government dignitaries. Modelling of underground infrastructure is one of the most crucial among other government activities. RS and GIS are appropriate solution to such big challenging task. This paper presents overview of underground utility and their accession by using geo-technology to mapping, monitoring, modelling, measuring, and managing existing underground infrastructure. This paper also explores the technique implemented in the literature, which is used to convert infrastructure to smart infrastructure. KEYWORDS: GIS, Remote Sensing, Geo-technology, Modelling, Underground Infrastructure, pipeline. I.INTRODUCTION Advancements in technology, improvement in obtaining geotechnical data and development of new equipment have led to improvements in utility Designing, Mapping, Managing, Maintenance and installation work. Presently Geographical information system (GIS) is as a solution to the problem which was challenging in previous insoluble problem. Current easiness in using GIS tools against problem domain is the outcomes of tremendous development in the GIS [1]. There are several definitions of GIS in literature. A definition, which is implicit in particular way may not implied on another aspect. Defining GIS varies accordingly discipline variation, Because GIS is interdisciplinary concept. The reason behind difficulty of defining GIS are many different way of defining and classifying object & subject [2]. Environmental science Research Institute [ESRI] define Geographic information system (GIS) as “an organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyse, and display all forms of geo-referenced information.” With the Association of Remote sensing [RS] the progress of GIS is to be unrelenting, Because RS allows us to deal with remote Geographical data. Environmental science Research Institute defines Remote sensing [RS] as “Collecting and interpreting information about the environment and the surface of the earth from a distance, primarily by sensing radiation that is naturally emitted or reflected by the earth's surface or from the atmosphere, or by sensing signals transmitted from a device and reflected back to it”. In the infancy of GIS and RS it was difficult to know about underground infrastructure, without excavation. As these technologies grown up we made such impossible things to possible things, as like as doctors can scan whole human body for diagnosis and cure of the disease with the help of instrumentation [3]. Managing underground utility consists of detecting leakage [4], design optimal route [6], Implementing SCADA system, Implementing GIS-based DSS [5]. There are numerous technique involved in each phases of managing utility. Managing and using technique may vary according to the location of study area and type of utility [1].
