Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Where the Data Sits Matters as Much as What It Says
The diameter of a water pipe is in a table, but where it is buried usually lives only in an old technician's memory. Subscribers, poles, valves, trees, plots — most institutional assets have a location, and if that location is not recorded the asset is not really being managed.
We develop web-based GIS applications that gather institutional data onto a map and make it queryable and shareable with field teams. Rather than selling a packaged GIS licence, we build an application shaped around your process.
Key Capabilities
Layer Management & Infrastructure Inventory
Water, electricity, gas, road and green space layers managed separately, with each asset's attributes, installation date and maintenance history bound to the map.
Mobile Field Data Capture
Field crews add assets at GPS position, update existing records and attach photographs, with offline working and later synchronisation supported.
Spatial Query & Analysis
Questions like "which subscribers are affected if this valve closes?" are answered on the map, with buffer, intersection and nearest-neighbour analyses built in.
CAD & Map Data Integration
Existing DWG drawings, base maps and urban planning data are imported, with coordinate transformation and projection alignment handled.
Satellite & Drone Imagery Overlay
Orthophotos and drone imagery serve as base layers, with change over time displayed comparatively.
Reporting & Data Sharing
Inventory reports by district, thematic maps and export, with restricted views defined for internal units and contractors.
Where It Is Used
- Municipal city information systems
- Water and sewerage authorities
- Electricity and gas distribution companies
- Telecom infrastructure management
- Forestry and agricultural land management
- Logistics and delivery zone planning
- Real estate portfolio analysis
- Disaster risk mapping and planning
How We Work
Data Inventory & Coordinate Analysis
Existing map, CAD and tabular data is reviewed, and coordinate systems and data quality assessed.
Data Model & Layer Design
Asset types, attributes and layer hierarchy are defined along with permission and editing rules.
Application Development & Migration
Web and mobile applications are built and existing data cleansed and loaded.
Field Verification & Go-Live
Sampling verification is carried out with field crews, incorrect positions are corrected and the system goes live.
An Inventory Is Only Worth Its Currency
An inventory compiled once and never updated is useless within three years. So we design the system to be updated by field crews in the course of their daily work: the technician performing maintenance is already opening the record, so the inventory stays alive by itself.
