In particular, we can offer technology and data analysis skills that deliver significant efficiency savings across the project. Our skills include: • Environmental and ecological constraints mapping, including habitat mapping; • Landscape sensitivity and collision risk assessment for birds; • Rapid site selection and assessment for roads and windfarms using GIS technology; • Planning, landscape and heritage mapping; • Infrastructure route analysis; • Demographic and socio-economic impact analysis and mapping; • Data management; • Spatial analysis including risk analysis; • GIS optimisation. These specific skills are further supported through the provision of a wide breath and depth of related geospatial services including: • Research and consultancy; • Database design, development, data input and management; • Surveying and mobile data capture; • Data cleansing and maintenance; • Data conversion, integration and interoperability; • Spatial data analysis and modelling; • Orthophotography interpretation; • Geocoding; • Map production.
