Identify underserved areas, assess facility accessibility and prioritize locations for further investigation.
Discuss your location studyWe combine resource or demand estimates, facility inventories and transport analysis to help organizations decide where additional infrastructure may be needed. The study starts with the decision you need to make and the geographic area, time horizon and constraints that matter.
We use ArcGIS Pro and the relevant analysis tools to work with your existing ArcGIS layers, facility inventories and agreed external datasets. We check coordinate systems, dates, geographic units and identifiers before combining them. Your operational records remain distinct from the analytical layers and modelled estimates produced for the study.
Results can be shared through agreed ArcGIS maps and services and delivered as GIS datasets and summary tables. We document source dates, assumptions, scoring weights and measured versus modelled values so your planning or economic team can interpret and reuse the output.
If you already use ArcGIS, we review the layers, maps and analytical outputs you rely on before defining the study workspace. Connections to planning, demand or economic models use agreed identifiers, geographic units, dates and exchange formats so estimates can be reconciled across systems.
Plan service coverage using demand estimates, existing infrastructure and access constraints. For water and wastewater studies, distinguish gaps in geographic coverage from questions about hydraulic capacity: proximity to a pipe does not establish that a connection can be served. We define the GIS assessment boundary and the engineering inputs needed before ranking opportunities.
Compare growth areas, existing asset locations, access routes and land constraints to screen locations for further investigation. Electrical capacity and connection feasibility remain inputs from the utility’s engineering teams; a spatial suitability score does not replace load-flow or protection studies.
Bring together the pole inventory, road network, reported faults and ownership boundaries to identify areas for survey or renewal review. Missing inventory records and missing lighting are different problems. We flag uncertainty and use engineering lighting assessments where illumination performance must be established.
Map intersections, existing signal assets and available traffic or incident evidence to prioritize detailed assessment. The result is a transparent shortlist with criteria and data gaps, not an automatic recommendation to install signals or change timing.
Combine catchment boundaries, inlets, culverts, reported flooding and development plans to identify areas for investigation. Distinguish missing asset records from insufficient drainage provision. Hydraulic modelling and verified levels are separate inputs when assessing conveyance capacity; a concentration of flood reports alone does not establish the cause.
Assess how buildings, entrances, walking routes and shared services serve a campus population. Compare expansion options against land constraints and access requirements. We agree whether the decision concerns pedestrian access, maintenance access or utility provision, because each requires a different measure of coverage.
Screen industrial locations using material supply, nearby processing facilities, road access and agreed land-use constraints. Compare candidate aggregation or processing sites across present and future scenarios. Utility availability, environmental approvals and commercial feasibility require their own evidence before a shortlisted location becomes an investment decision.
Compare demand locations with documented network reach and access constraints to identify areas for survey or expansion planning. A nearby fiber route does not prove spare capacity or an available connection. Radio coverage assessments require appropriate propagation inputs and validation, rather than treating distance from a tower as coverage.
For example, a recycling infrastructure study can compare estimated material volumes with processing capacity reachable by road. Areas with substantial unserved volumes become candidates for further assessment. This is an illustrative application, not a claim of completed project results.
Modelled distributions are estimates, not observed quantities. Suitability rankings support screening; they do not establish commercial feasibility, land availability or regulatory approval.
