Infrastructure and Engineering GIS

Engineering projects produce drawings, surveys and elevation data that are more useful when combined in GIS. We convert and georeference CAD data, map utilities and assets, and prepare terrain products for design.

The result is one accurate GIS base that engineers, planners and asset managers can all work from.

What the service involves

  • Infrastructure mapping
  • CAD-to-GIS integration
  • Utility mapping
  • Asset mapping
  • Land and property mapping
  • Terrain and elevation analysis
  • Engineering-related geospatial support

Problems it solves

  • CAD drawings with no real-world coordinates
  • Asset records that do not match what is on the ground
  • Design teams needing slope, contour or cut-and-fill context

Typical applications

  • Utility network mapping
  • Road and pipeline corridors
  • Parcel and cadastral mapping
  • Early-stage design terrain

Deliverables

  • Georeferenced, attributed GIS layers
  • Contours, slope and hillshade
  • Asset register linked to the map
  • CAD and GIS exchange files

Technologies

  • AutoCAD
  • ArcGIS Pro
  • QGIS
  • Global Mapper

Industries that benefit

  • Infrastructure and engineering
  • Energy and utilities
  • Urban planning
  • Government and public sector

How we deliver

  1. Understand the challenge. Agree the question, the area and the decision the work must support.
  2. Acquire and prepare data. Source, clean and document each dataset, including date, resolution and licence.
  3. Analyse and model. Apply a transparent method and check accuracy where reference data exists.
  4. Develop geospatial solutions. Build the maps, models, scripts or web applications the work requires.
  5. Deliver actionable insights. Hand over outputs and a plain-language summary of findings and limitations.
