Current State Assessment & Upgrades

Divestco Geomatics has extensive experience migrating reference systems and meeting the industry’s need to address spatial discrepancies between new and legacy data. The use of spatial data is prevalent in our world and can be easily misinterpreted to introduce location errors up to 250 m due to datum differences. While it is still our recommendation to migrate to new reference systems, there are different solutions to identify and mitigate spatial risks while working within your existing environment dependent on company needs, budget and direction:

• Convert, or migrate, all assets and data (NAD83 Consulting)
• Evaluate your current state and identify risks to specific areas of interest (DLS Assessment)

Current State Assessment & Upgrade Strengths:

• Mitigate risk and verify spatial integrity
• Alleviate financial impact to operations: dry holes, trespasses, regulatory penalties, down time for drilling rigs etc.
• DLS Comparison Maps identify the spatial discrepancies to assist in planning and analysis
• Evaluate the current state of data, data flow, software, procedures, and associated risks
• Detailed scoping and strategy developments to assist in the migration to new datum’s and/or grids
• Identify procedures and processes to work within a stable and reliable data environment
