GIS Mapping

GIS Mapping

Our GIS Mapping Services are among our most popular. This is largely due to the endless applications of the mapping, and the wide range of clients who use it.

Whether you are a multi-national utilities company using large volumes of geospatial data on a daily basis, or a planning consultant using ad hoc base mapping to support developments, our mapping services can accommodate you: on the same day we might receive requests for both a large mining project and a small golf course. Therefore customers should never assume that their project is likely to be too large, or too small.

Also, our end users range from experienced GIS specialists who know precisely what they need, to novices who have never previously ordered mapping data. Our consultancy service is designed, and ready, to support both. We will analyse your objectives in detail, advise you as to the best solution, and produce a free sample prior to production of any final files. This ensures that clients always have detailed visibility of what they will receive before any commitment is made.

The mapping files are supplied in all core GIS/ CAD compatible formats, as well as print-ready files for clients who simply wish to produce hard copies or embed images into reports:

The above services also include: digitising existing paper maps; converting existing files into different formats (e.g. CAD files into GIS, and vice versa); geospatial database construction; 2D and 3D modelling.

Web Mapping

SBL Geospatial Services offer Web Mapping and Web GIS to clients who wish to geo-locate, query, analyse and publish maps. Our web mapping solutions consist of web mapping automation and geo-database design and modelling.

Automation

When numerous maps are stored together, on-demand access to the desired information, across the entire organisation, can become difficult. A web based GIS system is the ideal solution to this problem. Our web mapping systems are always designed to the client's requirements. Our in-house team have experience in the following applications: GIS custom applications; GIS desktop applications; GIS web applications.

Geo-database Design & Modelling

Maps offer an important visual and contextual representation of geographical locations and features, but often this information needs to be cross-referenced and analysed. Retrieving this information from the maps is difficult, especially if they are paper maps. However, if stored in a common storage location, otherwise known as a geo-database, the information can be easily retrieved and queried. SBL can offer both the design and construction of these geo-databases, and also an ongoing database management service.

In-house processing of data, web automation, and database designing & modelling require highly skilled GIS specialists and resources. Our clients gain a specific cost advantage by entrusting their jobs to us.
