Geospatial systems

Digitisation is changing the way we plan, design and deliver major projects. It’s revolutionising how we connect, collaborate and communicate within and across organisations, government and communities.

The opportunities for asset owners to enhance business processes and projects are endless. With a fit-for purpose digital strategy, geospatial technologies can unlock insights to enable decision making and enhance performance.

Our difference

Aurecon provides a platform for geospatial data capture and analytics, information management and data visualisation, and collaboration in complex projects. The expertise of our geospatial engineering professionals, combined with cutting edge mobile and web technologies, supports all service offerings across advisory and the built environment, energy, resources, manufacturing, infrastructure and government markets.

Our market offering comprises of two main groups: ‘Geospatial Services’ and ‘Spatial Surveying’.
