GIS for Infrastructure & Utility Networks

What we analyse.

The types of analysis we run in this industry, each with its examples here.

03Proximity, access and catchment Who and what is within reach? Service areas See how it is built 04Route and corridor planning What is the cheapest, least-⁠impact route? Pipeline and cable routes See how it is built 09Terrain, LiDAR and 3D What does the surface tell us? Corridor terrain and volumes See how it is built 10Detection and mapping from imagery (GeoAI) Where is every object, across a whole region? Asset detection See how it is built 11Location and market analytics Where do things cluster, and where are the gaps? Broadband coverage gaps See how it is built

From route to network.

Three moments when a network needs a map.

Before you build

Where should the pipeline, cable or road go?

The least-cost route modelled across terrain, land cover, protected areas and existing networks, with alternative corridors ranked.

Route and corridor planning

Across a whole region

Where are the assets?

Assets found on aerial or satellite imagery with deep learning: propane tanks, reviewed in our map viewer, from a Texas pilot to the contiguous United States.

Detection and mapping from imagery (GeoAI)

For the years it runs

Can the whole team see the network?

Network data published in a geoportal the team can search, and CAD drawings converted into GIS layers.

CAD to GIS

How you receive it.

The same work, in the form each person on your team needs.

Questions about networks and utilities.

Ask a question

01Can you plan a route for a pipeline, cable or road?

Yes. We model the least-cost route across terrain, land cover, protected areas and existing networks, and rank alternative corridors.

02Can you find assets in aerial or satellite imagery?

Yes, with deep learning. We detected propane tanks on aerial imagery, reviewed them in our map viewer, and scaled the work from a Texas pilot to the contiguous United States.

03Can you map network coverage?

Yes. We processed data on Ontario's high-speed internet networks and network projects, and built a geoportal to screen and monitor the projects, for EXCap Advisors.

04Can you convert CAD drawings to GIS?

Yes. We convert and georeference CAD and legacy plans into GIS layers your team can query.
