What we deliver

From satellite imagery to engineering ready terrain

terrain

DEM and DSM generation

Bare earth elevation models, and surface models that include buildings and vegetation, generated from satellite imagery.

water

Watershed and drainage analysis

Flow paths, drainage networks and watershed boundaries derived from the terrain.

landscape

Terrain and slope models

Slope and terrain surfaces for engineering, terrain modeling and site suitability analysis.

database

Engineering ready GIS datasets

Elevation data processed, validated and delivered ready for GIS and engineering work.

waves

Elevation contour extraction

Contour lines extracted from the elevation model at the interval the project needs.

compare

Terrain change assessment

Elevation compared across dates to show where the terrain has changed, and by how much.

view_in_ar

3D terrain visualization

Terrain rendered in 3D visualization environments for analysis and decision making.
