BIM and fibre optics are two of the most important and influential technologies in infrastructure at the moment. One is changing the way buildings are designed, constructed and operated. The other is reimagining the way billions of people connect to the world. Both require a high level of technical expertise – both of which iTechLance IT consistently provides for its clients throughout the UK, Australia, the US and the Middle East.

Over the past few years, there has been a huge increase in the demand for Geographic Information and Spatial Intelligence on a global level. Organisations in all sectors are now beginning to understand that timely and accurate spatial information is an essential need, not a luxury, for their everyday operations, whether it be in infrastructure planning and urban development, agriculture, disaster management or environmental monitoring. And increasingly, the world is looking to India to meet that demand.

By the rapid pace of the engineering and design world, precision is everything. A mistake in one dimension in a CAD drawing can lead to expensive rework, project delays and sometimes even structural risks. The success of any task and project that follows relies on the quality of your CAD output, whether you're designing a commercial building, a complex industrial facility, a mechanical assembly or an urban infrastructure project.

Laser scanning and LiDAR technology have come a long way in the speed of change and have transformed the way engineers, architects and infrastructure managers capture and utilize spatial data. Previously a process that took weeks to do manually is now within hours, and generates higher resolution, three dimensional models of any structure, facility or landscape with millimetre accuracy.

It can have serious repercussions — severed utilities, project delays, safety issues and expensive emergency repairs. Do it correctly and your project is on time, on budget and risk free. This is why Utility Mapping Services from professionals are a must-have in contemporary infrastructure planning.
