GIS Utility Mapping
GIS Underground Asset Mapping
Our in-house GIS Mapping department at NRC WWS are responsible for the collection, analysis, and management of spatial data using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, specifically for highway drainage assets.
Sectors Benefiting from GIS
At NRC we have excellent track records of providing services for the following sectors across the UK.
GIS Surveying for HADDMS
Highly Accurate Highway Drainage Asset Mapping
The GIS/GPS team at NRC WWS conducts surveys of highway assets, including inlets and outfalls, in accordance with HADDMS standards (CS 551 and 535).
We seamlessly integrate survey mapping data into Geographic Information Systems (GIS), enabling the visualisation, analysis, and management of utility information effectively.
This process supports designers and engineers by providing essential data for system analysis and optimisation.


What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a sophisticated framework that allows us to collect, analyse, and visualise spatial data related to highway drainage assets.
It plays a crucial role in transforming complex data sets into actionable insights, supporting informed decision-making and effective asset management.
Key Functionalities of GIS
- Global Positioning System to obtain cm accuracy for assets locations
- Spatial Analysis to examine spatial relationships between various assets
- Geospatial Data Visualisation displayed on a drainage map
- Data Integration: combining different data sources for comprehensive analysis
Our Approach to GIS Mapping
Our GIS Mapping Process At NRC
- Data Processing: we organisation & processing of a shapefile submitted by the client.
- On-Site GPS Surveying: we uses GPS technology to accurately locate assets, with a precision of up to 5 cm.
- Asset Inspections: which include the capture of photographs, condition ratings, and detailed measurements.
- 360-Degree Video Capture: Cleverscan technology is employed to capture comprehensive, 360-degree video footage of the assets.
- Data Processing & Reporting: collected data is processed using WinCan software to generate detailed reports and CAD maps.
