Water & Hydrology

Integrated terrain, riverbed and infrastructure information for water engineering, flood-risk analysis and long-term management.

Industry challenge

Create continuity where land, water and engineering data usually break apart

River and water projects need a spatial model that remains coherent across floodplain, bank, channel and structures. Conventional survey methods used independently can leave gaps between dry-land topography, vertical banks and underwater terrain precisely where hydraulic and engineering analyses need continuity.

MapSoft combines airborne LiDAR and imagery, mobile mapping, UAV survey, multibeam bathymetry and terrestrial control according to the physical environment. Processing and QA then bring the measurements into a common reference so the final terrain and engineering products can be used as one data foundation.

MapSoft

One industry context. Two engineering pillars.

Geospatial Data

Spatial evidence for the real environment

  • Airborne LiDAR and imagery for floodplains, corridors and large river environments.
  • Multibeam bathymetry, vessel-based mobile mapping, UAV and terrestrial surveying for riverbed, bank, structures and local detail.
  • Integrated terrain models, cross-sections, point clouds, orthophotos and engineering data for hydraulic modelling and design.
Software Engineering

Systems around users and operations

  • Where water-management assignments extend into operational data use, MapSoft software capabilities can support GIS, spatial databases, monitoring, reporting and integration.
  • For river and hydraulic assignments, the spatial foundation remains central; software is added when the operating model requires maintained GIS, monitoring, reporting or integrated data access.
Integrated perspective

A continuous spatial foundation for hydraulic and engineering use

Danube & Sava River Mapping is the clearest proof: 661 km of river channels, 452 km² of airborne LiDAR coverage and approximately 70 billion measured spatial points were integrated into a 0.5 m Hybrid DTM and related engineering datasets. Krupanj / Likodra shows the same project-specific method at a different scale, combining large-area mapping, structure survey and targeted UAV follow-up for flood- and erosion-protection design.

Typical outcomes

What the work should enable.

01

Land–water continuity

Floodplain, bank, channel and structure data in one controlled spatial reference.

02

Model-ready terrain

Terrain and bathymetric products prepared for hydraulic, morphological and engineering workflows.

03

Method by environment

Airborne, vessel, UAV and terrestrial techniques combined where each is most effective.

04

Quality-controlled integration

Coverage, overlap, control and processing checks applied across the complete survey chain.
