Civil Engineering and Infrastructure

Reliable geospatial data for planning, developing and maintaining infrastructure projects

Civil engineering and infrastructure management is complex, with multiples facets of the industry. The field combines multiple sources of data and expertise to support design, analysis and management of critical human activities such as electric and energy services, wastewater, communications, transportation and buildings – all of which make up the urban and rural communities in which we live.

GIS is playing a key role in this field. Civil Engineers can capture and analyse spatial data, combined with other data sources from city and local levels, to present geographic maps with pinpoint accuracy – anywhere in the world.

PASSAGES - Or Planning of Radar Tower Locations in the Northwest Passage with WorldDEM

The Northwest Passage, the connection between the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, is approximately 5,780km long. It runs through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and is a complex winding maze of channels, bays, and straits that pass through often ice-choked Arctic waters, an area virtually impassable in the past. However in recent years, due to climate change, both commercial and leisure traffic are now able to pass through this region.
