Spatial Analytics

Our approach to hydraulics, hydrology, and numerical modelling is useful in other industrial sectors, not just in the Water Industry. We can help you analyse your geospatial data, identify opportunities and bottle necks, and produce mapping outputs for others to use.

Catchment and Satellite Data Analysis
We can use topography from LIDAR, available datasets or remote sensing methods to help you understand your catchment. We can even retrieve useful data for remote catchments in undeveloped parts of the world. This could include the soils in the catchment using the ISRIC Soil Grids data, the landuses observed using the ESA GlobCover archive, the meteorological conditions using various datasets including the NASA Global Precipitation Measurement mission, or the topography using the NASA ASTER GDEM.

Data Handling Tasks
You may know what data you would like to use, and even have a copy of it - but sometimes it is hard to know where to start when disaggregating your available engineering data, especially for sets of data that are multidimensional (e.g. a timeseries of 3D data). Some data is so large that traditional approaches like Excel and even GIS simply aren't an option for your analysis. We can help you make your data handling manageable by developing bespoke Python scripts to interrogate and organise very large quantities of files and data.

Potential Mapping
It isn't only hydropower and water resources developers that can benefit from our spatial analytics via the use of hydromaps. If you have a large area for development or exploitation and a system of processes and considerations that you would like to observe, we can help your screening assessments by employing bespoke geospatial analytics using GIS and Python. This will produce maps showing the best sites for your intended processes. This could apply to other industries such as logistics, oil and gas, and transport engineering - and can be easily applied to spatially distributed problems such as finding ideal locations or bottle necks.

Bespoke Mapping for Studies
You may already have the analysis components of your study completed, but need some assistance in producing a large quantity of maps for printing or PDF. We can help ensure that your maps are consistently plotted, and help organise your digital and printable media for the study outputs.
