Consulting
We work with you to develop optimal and sustainable solutions for your company’s specific requirements.
You benefit from our many years of experience and know-how, and we support your company in all projects involving geodata and surveying.
Our team at Consulting work together with you and our specialist business units to develop your company’s own standards and processes for a cost-effective and efficient future.
We will be happy to advise you on specific situations, and will work with you to find the best possible solutions. We are also available to assist in implementation and optimising processes when required.
We have extensive experience from international projects, e.g., in Africa, North and South America and the Middle East, enabling even remotely located branches of your company to use central standards and specifications in a sustainable way. Requisite resources and staff are often available locally, but require appropriate training and instruction.
For many years, we have been working with our partner, the Georg Agricola University of Applied Sciences in Bochum (TH Georg Agricola), to develop specialised and unique products and processes. As a result, we have long been using innovative in-house products, especially for the stone and quarry industry. These products continue to be developed in close cooperation with the university.
State-of-the-art surveying equipment
We always use the very latest surveying equipment in our wide-range of surveying projects for the stone and quarry industry. These not only include standard instruments such as total stations, GPS systems and digital levels, but also specialist equipment for special requirements.
Examples of these include:
AERIAL surveying
- Drones
(copters, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOLs) for small to medium-sized survey areas - Manned survey flights
for large-scale survey areas
MARINE surveying
- Multibeam sonar
(echo sounder) for detailed scanning of seabed areas
TERRESTRIAL and UNDERGROUND surveying
- Inclinometers
to detect minimal ground movements - Scanners
for the detailed detection of objects by means of coloured mass dots - Surveying gyroscope
for 'geographical northing'
From the many years of experience we have gained in the stone and quarry industry, we have created many internal workflows to produce a wide range of task-based data.
Included here is the generation of intermediate data that can be further processed in specialist departments, e.g., orthophotos, 3D terrain maps and digital terrain models (DTMs).
For efficiency and precision, the workflows use the latest professional hardware and software solutions, ensuring you always get robust and accurate results.
The Geowings Data team also assists in creating standardised processes for managing geodata in your company. We will be happy to answer any queries you have regarding geodata and evaluations, and are available with support to meet your specific needs.
