Collaboration Between Ordnance Survey and Sensat Will Redefine Standards of Data Visualisation
Sensat, one of the leading collaboration and visualisation platforms for civil infrastructure, has joined Ordnance Survey (OS)’s Channel Partner Programme, to help redefine data utility for infrastructure projects in Great Britain. The collaboration enables a transformative approach to the use of geospatial data, putting OS’s trusted and accurate data together with Sensat's ground-breaking platform, empowering customers with advanced visualisation capabilities.
The partnership will enable Sensat to simplify and improve decision-making capabilities across various sectors, including energy, water, rail, highways, real estate and telecoms. This will redefine the standards of data utilisation and application for UK infrastructure by enabling stakeholders to navigate, analyse, and employ comprehensive datasets with ease and efficiency previously unseen in the industry. OS data and mapping will be uploaded and used as a base layer for infrastructure teams to layer their Computer Aided Design models and designs over. This is set to help Sensat’s customers access enhanced accuracy for their planning. The process will also help infrastructure project managers and planning teams anticipate constraints in projects earlier, to reduce waste in the sector and boost sustainability.
Sensat supports over 50 Tier 1 infrastructure companies globally, including customers such as the National Grid – supporting the early stage planning and delivery of new and existing infrastructure as part of their ‘Great Grid Upgrade’. Civil infrastructure is already primarily coordinated using OS data thanks to its accuracy and reliability. By bringing OS data into Sensat, teams will be able to more confidently plan infrastructure, enabling precise, informed decisions for projects of any scale.
Fakhar Khalid, Chief Scientist, Sensat, said:
“We are exceptionally proud to partner with Ordnance Survey, a collaboration that sets a new benchmark in geospatial data quality and reliability.
