Effective data management has become increasingly important in the modern world. We can create a dynamic, single point-of-reference file that aligns all the spatial data for a given project or site. Various data hosting options are available.
Having a dynamic, single point-of-reference file for a project’s spatial data is an important tool allowing site managers and relevant stakeholders to make informed decisions based on all the information available.
At Landair Surveys we offer our clients the service of consolidating all their spatial data into an easily accessible reference file. All data is aligned to a single coordinate system and assigned to various CAD layers for ease of viewing and interrogation.
Clients that have benefited from this service include:
Read a recent feature article that highlights the benefits of a unified Spatial Data Model in the landfill sector, why a unified system of landfill spatial data could help operators save money and time when it comes to decision-making and auditing:

Spatial data management consolidates all of a site’s survey and spatial information into one dynamic, single point-of-reference file known as a spatial data model, aligned to one coordinate system and organised into CAD layers for easy viewing and interrogation.
The model is typically an AutoCAD file that can bring together:
Sites can hold up to 20 years of spatial data stored digitally, or even physically, across many locations, making records hard to collate when important decisions need to be made.
Geoscience Australia updates the national coordinate framework over time, so long-standing sites can hold data measured in up to three different coordinate systems. Aligning every layer to one grid removes the confusion.
Loading a proposed cell extension into one client’s spatial data model showed the excavation would hit underground electricity lines, so the design was shortened before digging began. The same visibility supports EPA compliance reviews for landfill operators.
Landair developed this service after a regional council struggled to align and interpret its landfill data. The approach is straightforward:
At the Cosgrove Landfill, Landair created a unified spatial data archive, aligning hundreds of historical files on one coordinate system, plus a life-of-landfill model to forecast capacity.
A dynamic, consolidated file of a site’s spatial data in a single AutoCAD reference file, covering historical imagery, as-built surveys, utilities, design surfaces and topographic surveys, all aligned to one coordinate system.
Landfill operators, architects, construction firms and quarry managers have all benefited. It suits any site with years of accumulated survey data that needs one reliable reference for decision-making.
Long-standing sites often hold data in up to three different coordinate systems as Australia’s national framework has been updated over the years. Landair aligns everything to one system so layers overlay accurately.
