Spatial services

Our smart, end to end workflows combine advanced spatial analysis with automation and deep learning. Our robust data management and integrated field data collection tools, enabling scalable, repeatable and high quality spatial solutions that help clients extract more value from their data, faster. We bring spatial data to life through interactive web maps and dashboards that transform complex information into clear, actionable insight.

By combining modern GIS and analytics with high resolution datasets including LiDAR and imagery captured by licensed drone pilots, we deliver polished visualisations and spatial intelligence that support confident decision making across technical and non technical audiences alike.

We can assist with:

  • interactive web-mapping and dashboard views

  • spatial analysis including suitability modelling and object detection (e.g. solar panels, trees, access tracks) using AI and deep learning methods

  • field data collection tools, forms and outputs

  • subsidence ponding monitoring using vegetation health (NDVI), canopy height and foliage density metrics

  • change detection and trend analysis

  • visual impact assessments using drone imagery and 3D modelling

  • 2D figures for approvals and regulatory submissions

  • data management and analysis
