Technically Speaking
GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES

Geospatial Technologies (or “Geomatics” as some prefer) is the progression of geography as it takes on the new capabilities of a high tech world. Geospatial applies to both the science and technology that drives areas of expertise such as land surveying, cartography, navigation, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Unlike the study of geography, Geomatics is a young term that has evolved quickly with advances in computing, satellite technology and a growing demand to understand our global environment.
Over the last 15 years, Golder professionals have led the way in the application of geospatial technologies to ground engineering and environmental services projects. In the earlier years, our geospatial services were provided in support of our core businesses by a handful of people based in a couple offices. Now we provide geospatial consulting services to a wide range of clients through the specialized skills of a global network of experts. Together we provide solutions that tie in your projects with geography and technology.
