CAD services

With our expansive team of CAD technicians, we are able to convert any GPS and topographical information into both a 2D and 3D digital drawing format. We highly skilled in the use of AutoCAD, Microstation and Net Maps packages and also are able to work on various other GIS systems with ease. We carry out CAD services for numerous high profile utility companies, councils, government bodies and transport authorities. These are often bespoke to meet our client’s individual requirements and we are familiar and experienced in producing this information to our clients in a format that is ready to integrate into various types of GIS systems that our clients utilise. CAD service features: 2D and 3D Drawings Provision of composite drawings CAD drafting from GPS, Topographical or hand drawn data. GIS services including design and implementation of GIS systems, maintenance and updating. All scale scanning and plotting service.

composite drawings

After retrieving all asset information from every utility, telecommunication or pipeline Company that has buried services within the area of a proposed site our CAD department are able to re-plot the detail of every piece of apparatus on to a single O.S. background. Because the composite is produced using CAD the user is able to look at any cable or pipeline in isolation or in conjunction with any other buried service(s).

This facility is particularly useful for both route planning purposes and desktop surveys as it allows, at a glance, the operative to determine how congested the site is and where each specific cable/pipeline is located in relation to all other plant and the surrounding environment. This service is extremely cost effective when undertaking Route Planning works as it allows the planner, very quickly, to determine the feasibility of any particular route, in relation to existing buried services, and identify alternatives.

• Information transcribed by our very experienced CAD operators of utility information onto one drawing.
• Used by many of our clients for design work and utility diversion studies.
• Excellent tool for planning

Warning – A composite drawing should NEVER be used as an on site utility plan – beware of companies that suggest it can – a full set of in date utility plans MUST be on site during construction phase and used in conjunction with a good utility survey – a composite drawing is NOT the answer to a set of plans.
