GIS Data Collection
Asset data is only useful while it matches what is on the ground. We collect road and utility inventory data in the field, position every asset accurately, and deliver it in your GIS schema, so your asset registry, maintenance records, and capital plans all work from the same current picture.
Serving municipalities across Ontario from St. Catharines.
What we deliver
- Road inventory data: signs, guide rail, curbs, sidewalks, entrances, and pavement markings
- Utility inventory data: maintenance holes, catch basins, valves, hydrants, culverts, and other surface features
- As-built GIS updates that add new and replaced assets after construction
- Attributes captured to your schema, with a photograph of each asset
- Positions by RTK GNSS rover, or taken from 3D scans and 360° imagery of the corridor
- Data delivered in your coordinate system and GIS format, ready to load
When GIS data collection is needed
- An asset management plan under O. Reg. 588/17 needs a complete, current inventory
- Asset records are incomplete, out of date, or held only on drawings
- Construction has added or replaced assets that are not yet in the GIS
- Before a condition assessment or road needs study, to confirm what exists and where
How the data is collected
We record each asset's position, attributes, and photographs in a single field visit using our in-house GIS inspection application.
Where a corridor has been scanned, asset positions and attributes can also be taken from the 3D model and 360° imagery in the office, without a return trip to site.

Common questions
- Can you collect data to our existing GIS schema?
- Yes. Tell us the layers and attributes your GIS uses and we collect to them, so the data loads without reformatting.
- Does GIS data collection include condition ratings?
- It can. Inventory collection records what exists and where; condition ratings can be added in the same visit or delivered through a condition assessment program.
