How we use Canterbury Maps?

Our geotechnical engineering team at Eliot Sinclair frequently use ECans’s GIS mapping system to review Well log records to identify underlying geology and to assess the depth of groundwater.

Historical aerial photographs shown on the GIS are also used to determine site history which is useful for our civil and geotechnical engineers, and for the environmental engineers when assessing any risk of contamination.

The GIS mapping system is also helpful in Identifying Consented Activities and is commonly used by our planning team.

In summary, the information shown on Ecan’s GIS is a valuable resource for Eliot Sinclair’s land development consultants, and can assist in investigation issues for our clients and to keep costs down.
