NavGeo Services provides focused GIS capability for organizations, consultants, researchers and project teams requiring specialist geospatial work within their projects. Services are structured around clearly defined requirements, available inputs, agreed workflows and expected deliverables.
Our specialized GIS services include GIS mapping and cartography, data digitization, CAD-to-GIS conversion, data QA/QC, coordinate system services, workflow automation, spatial data processing and analysis, topology validation and geodatabase requirements.
Services can be delivered as an individual GIS task, a defined work package or a specialist geospatial component within a wider project, with the scope established before work begins.
GIS Mapping & Cartography
NavGeo Services prepares maps from client-provided or agreed spatial datasets, with attention to geographic accuracy, appropriate symbology, labeling, visual hierarchy and overall layout. Maps can be prepared for technical reports, studies, presentations, project documentation and other defined uses.
Depending on the requirement, mapping work may include thematic mapping, base-map preparation, layer organization and visualization, symbology and labeling, map layout and composition, and preparation of high-resolution cartographic outputs.
GIS Data Digitization
NavGeo Services digitizes geographic features from suitable source materials to create organized vector datasets for use in GIS environments. The work is carried out according to the required feature types, attribute structure, spatial reference and agreed data specifications.
Depending on the assignment, digitization may include the creation or updating of point, line and polygon features, detailed feature tracing, attribute population, editing of existing vector data and preparation of structured GIS datasets. Relevant QA/QC checks are applied before delivery.
CAD-to-GIS Conversion
NavGeo Services converts suitable CAD data into GIS-compatible spatial datasets while preserving relevant geometry and organizing the converted information according to the agreed GIS structure. The process focuses on preparing CAD-derived features for reliable use alongside other spatial data.
Depending on the source data and project requirements, work may include review and preparation of CAD layers, conversion of relevant points, lines and polygons into GIS feature classes, coordinate system assignment, projection or transformation where required, attribute structuring and integration into the target GIS dataset or geodatabase.
GIS Data QA/QC
NavGeo Services reviews GIS datasets to identify data-quality issues that may affect their reliability or suitability for the intended project use. QA/QC activities are defined according to the dataset structure, project specifications and agreed validation requirements.
Checks may cover geometry, attributes, spatial reference, completeness, consistency and conformity with defined data rules. Identified issues can be documented, corrected where included within the agreed scope, and rechecked before preparation of the final GIS deliverables.
Georeferencing & Coordinate System Services
NavGeo Services works with spatial datasets that require coordinate system assignment, projection or reprojection, coordinate transformation, or alignment with other geographic data. The objective is to establish consistent spatial referencing so that datasets from different sources can be used together reliably within the required GIS environment.
Depending on the assignment, work may include georeferencing suitable scanned maps, assigning known coordinate systems to datasets, converting data between projections, performing required coordinate transformations and aligning datasets originating from different sources.
ArcPy Scripting & GIS Workflow Automation
NavGeo Services develops ArcPy scripts to automate suitable GIS tasks where repeatable processing, consistent execution or reduced manual effort can improve the workflow. Scripts are developed around clearly defined inputs, processing rules, expected outputs and the client’s GIS environment.
Automation may be applied to batch processing, attribute operations, spatial processing, dataset updates, repetitive geoprocessing sequences and other well-defined GIS procedures. Appropriate validation, error handling and testing can be incorporated according to the requirements of the script.
Spatial Data Processing & Analysis
NavGeo Services processes and analyses spatial data to derive geographic relationships, measurements, classifications and other project-specific outputs. The analytical workflow is defined by the available datasets, required methods and intended use of the results.
Depending on the assignment, work may involve combining or extracting spatial datasets, proximity and distance analysis, buffering, overlay operations, spatial joins, calculations, accessibility analysis, dataset classification and preparation of derived GIS layers.
Topology Cleaning & Data Validation
NavGeo Services identifies and corrects spatial errors that can affect the integrity and usability of vector datasets. The work is carried out against defined geometry requirements, topology rules and project-specific validation criteria.
Depending on the dataset, this may involve detecting and resolving gaps, overlaps, slivers, duplicate geometries, undershoots, overshoots, dangles and other spatial inconsistencies. Snapping and alignment can also be applied where required, followed by validation of the corrected data.
Geodatabase Design & Management
NavGeo Services designs and organizes geodatabases according to defined project requirements, dataset relationships and data-management needs. The objective is to establish a logical and consistent GIS data structure that supports efficient editing, validation, retrieval and ongoing use.
Depending on the assignment, work may include geodatabase creation, feature dataset and feature class organization, schema design, field and attribute structure, domains and subtypes, relationship configuration, spatial-reference setup, metadata organization and migration of suitable existing GIS datasets into the agreed geodatabase structure.
How Our Specialized GIS Services Can Be Engaged
GIS requirements do not always need a complete standalone project. NavGeo Services can provide focused support for a specific technical task, a defined group of related activities or the geospatial component of a wider assignment.
The scope is established around the available inputs, required GIS activities, expected deliverables and agreed project boundaries.
Individual GIS Tasks
Focused support for a specific mapping, digitization, conversion, processing, QA/QC, automation or other clearly defined GIS requirement.
Defined Work Packages
A structured combination of related GIS activities delivered together as one clearly scoped package with agreed inputs and outputs.
Specialist GIS Components
Geospatial work delivered as part of a wider engineering, planning, health, research, development, environmental or other sector assignment managed by the client or project team.
Remote Project Support
GIS work delivered remotely using agreed data inputs, workflows, communication arrangements and output formats.
