The brief description of each project is available on the subsequent pages:
Mobile Mapping of Major Cities in BelgiumClient: A global leader in surveying and engineering
Objective: To produce high accuracy 3d mapping of Road features, Buildings, Street lights, Trees, Manholes, Sign Boards, etc.
Key Activities :• Pre-processing of the data received.• Dividing the zone according to the boundary.• Digitizing the Buildings, Roads, Street lights,
Manholes, Other Street objects using Visat Station.
• Conversion of Visat files to CAD file and combining of digitized file with House Number/Street name file.
Benefits :• Gives general map with information that is useful for different utilities, for
example useful for gas company, electrical company etc.• Can produce extremely accurate, pervasive, current, accessible, readily
analyzed, and readily visualized 3D street-level data.
LiDAR Data Processing of European Cities Client: A global leader in surveying and engineering solutions
Objective: To provide accurate model & map for transmission lines, allowing utility to measure the shape of the ground below the transmission line, the position of the towers and poles, the sag on the wires, and the up-growth of any vegetation incursions or other possibly illegal incursions into the right of way.Key Activities :• Man made and geographical features are
digitized using LiDAR data in flip7 software. Ortho images were sent by the client for identification of features.
• Digitized wires are used to prepare input files which is used by the client to prepare sag value of wires which is due to temperature, wind and self weight.
• Final Microstation files which contains LP,GP and cadaster in the sheet(GBLEV).

Key Activities :• Installing Total Station at each tower location• Collecting ground information (x, y and z) of plot
boundary, tower location, guard room etc. using Total Station and GPS
• Converting ground collected information to Dwg• Creating drawing file of the entire tower location
with x, y and z information
Benefits :• Topographical data helps in analysing and installing the solar panel.
Ground Verification and GIS Data CollectionClient: A leading telecom company
Objective: • To collect data from the field.• To convert collected data into softcopy format• To create GIS files as per data modelKey Activities :• Created base map using satelite image• Plotting the base map with important landmarks
as labels for field data collection purpose• Collecting information from field such as
telecom manholes, road name, road width, property name, property type, no. of floors, no. of units, etc.
• Data entry of all field forms • Attributing of all field information in GIS and
modifying the base map as per realworld changes
• Creating GIS data as per data modelBenefits :• GIS data helps the telecom company to analyse the consumer base• GIS data helps the telecom company to plan for new towers and upcoming
target areas.
GIS Based Electrical Network MappingClient: A leading Indian electric distribution utility
Objective: • GIS electrical network mapping• Electricity consumer indexing
Key Activities :• Plotting the base map provided by client with
important landmarks as labels for field data collection purpose
• Collecting information from field such as transformer, pole, consumer details etc.
• Data entry of all field forms • Attributing of all field information in GIS and
modifying the base map as per realworld changes
• Creating GIS data as per data model• Relating and connecting consumer data to the
GIS information
Benefits :• onsumer indexing and GIS helps reducing losses for electric distribution utility • GIS data helps in planning and analysing the consumers and rectifying the
problem quickly.
