Enabling a variety of civil engineering initiatives via precise and affordable 3D digital elevation data tailored to meet the diverse GIS needs of public and private engineers

Permanence Requires Accuracy From government installations and public institutions, to all the lynchpin facilities and services required by communities worldwide, the vast array of civil engineering disciplines is responsible for most of the physical infrastructures in existence. Effectively designing and constructing roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and power and water supply systems requires access to highly accurate 3D elevation models to ensure safe, environmentally sound structures that comply with a myriad of local and federal regulations.

NEXTMap^® Digital Elevation Models and Geometric Imageries— Setting the Industry Standard
Our proactive, countrywide NEXTMap 3D digital mapping program is spearheaded by the company's proprietary airborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IFSAR) mapping technology. IFSAR sets the industry standard for uniform, high-resolution, wide-area mapping and digital geometric modeling on a global scale.

Are you directly or indirectly responsible for:

• improving the operational efficiencies that are associated with highway or railway improvements and construction?
• providing reliable site-location information based on how the soil and rocks beneath a proposed structure will likely respond under pressure?
• assessing the potential risk of environmental hazards, such as earthquakes, flooding, mudslides, and wildfires? 
• determining the optimum routes for municipal water supplies or sites for industrial wastewater treatment systems? 
• securing the most accurate and economical geospatial data to support line-of-sight, slope, aspect, and/or viewshed analyses?

Then, you require...

...A Higher Level of Accuracy, Affordability, and Availability
Our NEXTMap program is meeting the growing global demand for highly accurate digital elevation datasets, imageries, and geometric models. The NEXTMap suite of off-the-shelf 3D terrain products provides the foundation on which public and private civil engineers can quickly and affordably develop effective, life-sustaining solutions.
