Mission area 01

Core Science Systems

Our primary mapping and geospatial division — the foundation every other mission area builds on. Topographic and geologic mapping, cross-border geodata coordination, drone and satellite remote sensing, 3D and BIM.

What we deliver

Drone flights + photogrammetry

  • Aerial photography over any terrain type with our own drone fleet
  • Terrestrial camera survey of wells, shafts, mines and caves
  • Underwater survey with our in-house divemasters
  • Elevation models, orthophotos and photogrammetric object models
  • Volume and surface calculations for landfills and quarries
  • Displacement analysis of landslides and rock outcrops

Field surveys

  • Digital terrain models and GNSS / GPS control
  • 360° site imagery and as-built capture
  • Setting out and positional tie-in of every investigation point

GIS + geoinformatics

  • Geodata evaluation, visualisation and modelling
  • Spatial data analysis and spatial databases
  • WebGIS and mobile GIS applications
  • Custom software development and data portals

3D modelling + BIM

  • 3D modelling of geological layers and natural hazards
  • Subsurface data modelling, Geo-BIM and Geol-BIM
  • IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) data management
  • BIM coordination against 2D and 3D geodata
  • Publication in a 3D web viewer and virtual tours

Geomonitoring

  • Geo-surveillance data portals and dashboards
  • Near real-time monitoring of instrumented sites

Other mission areas

Most projects draw on more than one mission area. Tell us the structure and the site and we will assemble the right combination.

We make it happen

We read the ground. We de-risk the build.

From dam foundations on the Nile to transmission lines across the Great Lakes, our crews turn Africa's toughest sites into certainty you can build on.
