GIS Analysis
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are the backbone of Geomatics. These systems provide the vehicle through which spatial data (data related to a spatial reference) can be viewed, manipulated, queried, and analysed in great detail. This capability to analyse data supports advanced cartographic production and alignment sheet generation, but it can also be elevated to answer complex engineering questions, perform robust multivariate calculations and address sensitive social and environmental issues. Information and knowledge gained from GIS analysis is then communicated through a range of media including maps, alignment sheets, 3D models and web portals.
Cartography and Mapping
Maps are one of humankind’s most effective communication tools. Our team has extensive experience in the design, development and preparation of high quality map products that efficiently and effectively communicate data as information to users. To broaden the dissemination and communication of project and enterprise data, we can apply the most advanced and expedient web mapping technology. Web mapping portals can be rapidly deployed and provide users with the power to produce their own basic map outputs without the need of a GIS operator. Web mapping tools can be expanded as a project increases in scale and phase to link documents, photos and other media by geographic location.
3D Visualisation
Three dimensional (3D) visualisation is a developing field within Geomatics as the ability and interest in viewing and displaying three dimensional geospatial data increases. 3D visualisation dramatically increases the level of immersion and intuitive understanding possible from geospatial data, allowing greater impact and ease of translation. Geomatics provides this capability through direct graphical output, 3D fly-throughs of areas of interest, and 3D simulations of phenomena or change. Our team can provide this technology to clients for use in public consultation, permit applications and engineering and planning.
