Geographic Info System
Geographic Info System
Your assets, land and networks on one accurate, living map. Updated from the field, trusted in the office, and readable by anyone who needs to decide.
A Geographic Information System is a database where every record has a location. A transformer is not just a serial number in a register, it is a point on the map with its feeder, its installation date and its inspection photos attached. A plot is not just an entry in a ledger, it is a polygon with an owner, an area and a history.
That single idea changes how organizations work. When your assets, pipelines, plots and survey data live on one accurate map, questions that took days of file searching are answered in seconds: which customers does this feeder serve, which plots fall inside the road widening line, where exactly did the crew replace that valve last year.
What a GIS Holds
Every Record Has a Location
A geographic information system is a database where every record sits on the map. An asset is no longer a serial number in a register; it is a point with its network, its history and its photographs attached.
Distribution Transformer
Point feature- Location
- Surveyed GPS position
- Network
- Connected feeder and customers served
- Installed
- Installation date and contractor
- Condition
- Inspection photographs and notes
Land Parcel
Polygon feature- Boundary
- Surveyed plot geometry
- Ownership
- Owner and title reference
- Area
- Calculated from the boundary
- History
- Transfers, subdivisions and approvals
Spatial Questions
Answered in Seconds, Not Days
When assets, pipelines, plots and survey data live on one accurate map, questions that once took days of file searching are answered by a spatial query.
Which customers does this feeder serve?
Connectivity traced through the utility network.
Which plots fall inside the road-widening line?
Parcels intersected with the planned alignment.
Where did the crew replace that valve last year?
Every repair recorded with location and date.
What We Deliver
GIS Services for Every Stage
Six services cover the full life of a spatial dataset, from first survey to the dashboards that management reads.
Utility Network Mapping
Electric feeders, water and gas pipelines mapped with full connectivity, so crews can trace a circuit or isolate a section and see which customers are affected.
- Electric
- Water
- Gas
- Telecom
Land & Parcel Mapping
Cadastral surveys, plot digitization and land record mapping for housing schemes, revenue departments and developers, with ownership linked to every polygon.
- Cadastral
- Housing schemes
- Revenue records
Field Survey & Capture
GNSS survey teams and offline mobile data collection apps that record assets, boundaries and inspections, with validation rules built into every form.
- GNSS / RTK
- Drone mapping
- Mobile forms
Data Cleaning & Migration
We repair broken geometry, align mismatched coordinate systems and merge CAD files, scanned sheets and spreadsheets into one clean spatial database.
- CAD to GIS
- Georeferencing
- Topology repair
Web Maps & Dashboards
Browser-based map portals and executive dashboards that let management, departments and the public view live layers without installing GIS software.
- Map portals
- Dashboards
- Public viewers
Remote Sensing
Satellite imagery for land monitoring, mapping, encroachment detection and construction progress, building on TAP's experience supplying remote sensing data products.
- Satellite imagery
- Change detection
- Base maps
The City Map
Layers That Share One Base Map
Every department’s data is held as a layer on the same base map, aligned to one coordinate system, so information from different teams lines up exactly.
Base Map & Imagery
Current satellite and drone imagery, topography and street network
Land & Parcels
Plot boundaries, ownership, land use and zoning
Utility Networks
Electric, water, gas, sewer and telecom with connectivity
Transport
Roads, corridors, stations, stops and routes
Public Assets
Street lights, poles, cameras, cabinets and facilities
Operations
Incidents, work orders, inspections and complaints
Standards & Interoperability
