GEOGRAPHIC DATA ACQUISITION & MANAGEMENT

Terrain Surveys and Analytical Capabilities

• Engineered site plans and detailed terrain models using Nikon™ Total Station
equipment and RoadEng Civil Engineer Plus Version 5.0 Terrain Module
• Earthwork calculations; including mass‐haul, stock‐piled volumes, volume removals
and volume generation estimates

LiDAR Data Processing & Engineered Design

Resource managers are increasingly moving towards LiDAR data acquisition for
planning and design purposes. SFMI has the technology and the expertise to
process, analyze and use your LiDAR data in numerous applications.
We employ data integration and design interpolation using remote sensing and
digital elevation modeling (DEM) to produce:
• Road location and design
• Engineered site plans
• Development planning & design
• Hydrology & watershed assessments
• Earthwork calculations; including mass‐haul, stock‐piled volumes, volume removals and volume generation estimates
• Mining and mineral resource strata analysis

GPS Surveys & Spatial Asset Management Systems

Utility companies, municipalities, parks and other organizations have significant numbers of assets dispersed over large distances and areas. Limitations to asset maintenance and management systems are often due to inadequate spatial data and mapping accuracy.
By developing and employing a Spatial Asset Management system, asset holders achieve improved efficiency and analysis of maintenance costs, increased budget accuracy, consistent application of standards and best practices, and enhanced due diligence. Capital asset inventories are maintained in better condition and result in reduced short and long‐term costs.
