Asset & Resource Mapping

Georeferenced inventories of physical assets and natural resources — trees, poles, pipelines, buildings, water points and infrastructure — captured by drone and GNSS for management, planning and compliance.

Know what you have, and exactly where it is

Managing assets you can't see on a map is guesswork. We capture georeferenced inventories of physical assets and natural resources — utility poles, pipelines, water points, buildings, trees, signage, fencing, solar installations, boreholes — using drone imagery, GNSS field surveys or both, depending on the density and accuracy the project demands.

The output is a structured spatial database your team can query, filter and update: every asset tagged with its location, type, condition and any custom attributes you need. Delivered as GIS layers, CAD drawings, web maps or integration-ready datasets for your existing asset management system.

What you receive

A spatial inventory your operations, planning and compliance teams can actually work with.

Georeferenced asset register

Every mapped asset with coordinates, type classification, condition rating and custom attributes — delivered as GIS layers (SHP, GPKG, GeoJSON) or spreadsheet with coordinates.

Asset maps and atlases

Printed or digital maps showing asset locations over orthomosaic or base-map backgrounds — for field teams, management reports and compliance documentation.

Orthomosaic and aerial base

A georeferenced aerial image of the site or corridor that serves as the visual base for the asset register and any future updates.

Integration-ready exports

Data formatted for import into your existing asset management, ERP or GIS platform — column mapping and coordinate systems agreed before delivery.

How an asset mapping project runs

Scope the assets, capture the data, attribute and QA, deliver the register.

01
Asset scope and attribute design
We agree which assets to capture, what attributes to record for each type, and the accuracy and format requirements for delivery.
02
Drone and field capture
Drone flights capture the aerial base. Ground teams or desk-based interpretation populate the asset points with location, type, condition and any project-specific fields.
03
Attribution and QA
Every record is attributed, cross-checked against imagery and field notes, and validated before handover. Duplicates, misclassifications and positional outliers are caught here.
04
Delivery and integration
The register, maps and supporting datasets are delivered in the agreed formats. We support loading into your GIS or asset management platform if needed.

Where it's used

Any organisation that manages physical assets or natural resources across a geographic area.

Utility and infrastructure networks

Mapping poles, transformers, pipelines, manholes, hydrants and telecoms infrastructure for network operators, counties and utilities.

Facilities and estate management

Building inventories, campus asset registers, fence lines, signage and access points for property managers, universities and industrial sites.

Natural resource inventories

Tree surveys, borehole mapping, water-point registers, land-cover classification and conservation area inventories for environmental and agricultural programmes.

Compliance and reporting

Documented, auditable asset registers for regulatory compliance, insurance, donor reporting and ESG frameworks.

An asset register that stays current

A map drawn once and never updated is a historical document, not a management tool. We structure the data so your team can maintain it — and we're available for periodic re-surveys when the register needs refreshing.

Asset & resource mapping — common questions

Answers for facilities managers, network operators and project teams planning an asset inventory.

What types of assets can you map?

Anything with a physical location: utility poles, transformers, pipelines, manholes, buildings, trees, boreholes, water points, signage, fencing, solar panels, communication towers, road furniture. If it's on the ground (or under it, with detection equipment), we can map it and attribute it.

How accurate are the asset positions?

It depends on the method. GNSS field survey gives sub-decimetre positions. Drone-derived positions from a well-controlled orthomosaic are typically within 3–5 cm. For assets identified from imagery alone, accuracy follows the GSD of the capture — usually 2–5 cm per pixel. We match the method to the accuracy your system needs.

Can you load the data into our existing system?

Yes. We export in formats compatible with common GIS and asset management platforms — Esri, QGIS, Google Earth, SAP, Maximo, custom databases. Column names, attribute codes and coordinate systems are agreed before we start so the import is clean.

How do we keep the register updated after delivery?

We deliver the data in editable formats so your field teams can add, update or retire assets. For organisations without GIS capacity, we offer periodic re-survey and update services — quarterly, annually or project-triggered.
