One of our key areas of business has been in the capture of digital data for a wide range of industries. Sources used include satellite imagery, aerial photography, height models, paper maps, scans, plans and numerous databases. Our services are platform independent, and we have produced data for use in nearly all available GIS systems.

We have specialist scanning equipment to scan all documents from A4 to A0 and greater, as well as microfilm and book scanners. Data from the scans can be georefeferenced to appear in real world locations within a GIS. Geocoding of objects allows them to be linked to a geographical location.

We can carry out high and low resolution GPS Surveys, to centimetre precision. Our GIS skills allow us to relate this data to various mapping datasets, to ensure local accuracy where this is paramount. This service is backed up by our specialist Survey Department within parent company C A Design Services, and full Hydrographic Surveying services with Gardline Hydro.

Our technical team can take your data, from spreadsheets and text files to databases, cleansing it, geocoding it, or relating it to GIS data. This includes data such as BS7666, and the results can be presented in many different formats.

Maps are invaluable tools within presentations, publications and websites, and we can offer a full range of services to bring custom-designed mapping to you. Whether you need a static map, a 3d model of a development, or a fully-interactive web solution, then we have the expertise.

To help to make your GIS implementation easier, we provide consultancy based on experience from the very early days of digital mapping. This has ranged from small partnerships to national governments. We assist by training your staff, tailoring the lessons to your specific needs, and to get you up and running, or to cater for a short-term need, we have geosolutions experts on hand to work on your site.
