Civil Engineering

SBL Europe supports major infrastructure development projects through our associations with leading civil engineering companies. Our Geospatial Services Division provides civil engineers with 2D/ 3D CAD and GIS Modelling from point cloud, LiDAR, Aerial Photography and Satellite Imagery. All our models are BIM compliant and to COBie or equivalent standards. Projects include rail, highways, bridges, tunnels and LOD 1, 2 and 3 building models for Smart Cities.

Oil & Gas

Any exploration project is dependent on relevant and accurate data, and then intelligent, specialist, empirical analysis of that data. SBL’s Europe operation offers international Oil & Gas customers high-end geospatial analysis services. These include geological exploration suitability, environmental risk including ground water pollution analysis through time series 3D modelling, on-shore asset and pipeline management and risk mitigation, and new build planning and construction.

Surveying

Partnerships are central to our European operations; this is especially true for collaborations with our surveying partners. Based on our expertise, our experience of working on large projects, and the size and flexibility of our multi-disciplinary GIS/ CAD production teams, many surveyors pass their data production and modelling work to us. This allows our partners to focus on their core surveying activities, without incurring large, fixed overheads for hardware, software licences, and manpower, all of which they draw on from us, as and when they need.

Energy & Utilities

The Energy & Utilities sector is a major area of focus for our European operations. With the introduction of Smart Cities, and the scale and ambition of new builds and upgrade projects, the need for up to date and accurate asset data is paramount. Furthermore, given the size and critical nature of utilities infrastructure, modern survey techniques such as LiDAR allow far more accurate and detailed survey models to be created over large geographical areas. These models are then labelled and attributed following BIM principles and naming conventions, thereby ensuring that they can be used as live, editable asset and facilities management tools. This in turn delivers significant efficiencies in terms of operational savings and enhanced service delivery.

Mining

SBL’s Geospatial Services division has supported mining projects around the world. SBL UK is able to access this expertise and support mining companies based in the European region, but with international interests and deposits. Typically we use remote sensing techniques, usually from satellite imagery, to identify mineral prioritisation zones prior to more in-depth field surveys of the priority areas. These detailed surveys can also be completed using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from which we derive digital surface and digital terrain models as well as topographic map data for use in mining software.
