Enabling faster, safer, better projects through Geospatial engineering

Our capability

Geospatial analysis enables us to paint a vivid picture of the world around us. We provide infrastructure and asset management projects with invaluable insights through locational data science, while our data management and process automation unlock unique new industry innovations, save time and money, improve accuracy, and strengthen client relationships.

We have been enabling our colleagues and clients worldwide to unlock data insights for over 25 years, through data sourcing, analysis, management and sharing of data. Our wealth of knowledge and alignment with the highest industry standards (building information modelling (BIM) including BS19650 processes) makes us the perfect partner throughout the asset lifecycle, from conceptual design to operation. Our data interoperability support and our single source of truth Common Data Environments (CDEs), can offer your entire project team the opportunity for true data-driven decision making.

Spatial Common Data Environments (sCDE)We create scaleable, automated and auditable sCDE’s for clients, incorporating varying disciplines’ data formats while ensuring interoperability. By establishing an sCDE in the earliest project stages, data can be efficiently used throughout the full project or asset lifecycle. Data is costly to gather; we can make sure you and your clients don’t need to do it twice.

Spatial AnalyticsGeospatial Team analysis workflows have saved countless hours of project time, as well as introducing brand new processes which were previously completely out of reach. Our expertise ranges from traditional techniques such as viewshed analysis or woodland loss, to applications as diverse as radio derived flight lines, to a national-scale gap analysis of Kenyan transportation provision. We have provided analysis in sectors as wide ranging as nuclear, smart cities, and highways design.

WebGISOur tailored WebGIS platforms enable project team members, clients, or public stakeholders to make and understand crucial design decisions. Offering a holistic view of all constraints and design changes means interrelationships can be spotted earlier, reducing the risk of costly rework. There are significant cost savings; the A9 Dualling project team saves £390k annually due to reduced pdf map preparation, shorter analysis timescales, and reduced rework, thanks to a single source of truth WebGIS.

BIM: a true Geospatial and CAD interfaceGeospatial analysts work with modelling teams to ensure the CAD structure is optimised right from project conception, aided by seamless sharing and editing of data in the common environment. With strong CAD knowledge, we enable futureproofed translations of data that retain all the relevant BIM information during the process, saving clients significant sums.

Data CollectionSite work is costly and can be high-risk to staff; our intuitive digital data collection solutions can ensure your staff get the right data first-time, minimising rework. Data can be automatically synced with cloud systems that give office teams immediate visual confirmation of the data, overlain on other layers such as existing environmental constraints, or a planned design. In addition we are highly-skilled in planning data collection campaigns around human data, collecting key metrics while remaining GDPR compliant.

AutomationOur specialists create rapid iterable scripts or custom-designed tools, unlocking team resources for analytical and interpretive work which would otherwise be spent on repetitive and remedial tasks. In the era of big data, from Lidar point clouds to mobile phone activity, our automation capabilities also allow us to efficiently handle larg-er datasets, mining data for rapid new insights.
