Altalis Data: the Foundation for Geospatial Insights in Alberta

Alberta's geospatial sector is experiencing a surge in demand for location-based data and insights across various industries. Utilities, government agencies, energy and forestry companies, real estate agencies and many others recognize the value of geospatial information for optimizing operations, planning infrastructure, and managing resources. However, not all organizations have the internal resources to support a dedicated GIS department. This is where Geomatics Service Providers act as expert consultants and provide specialized geospatial services to public and private sector clients. 

Altalis plays an important role in this ecosystem by supplying these providers with foundational geospatial data – from precise property boundaries to detailed elevation models.

Navigating the Complexities: Key Challenges Facing Geomatics Service Providers in Alberta

Data Acquisition and Accuracy

Maintaining up-to-date and accurate geospatial data is important for reliable analysis and decision-making. Land ownership, infrastructure, and environmental features can change rapidly, requiring constant vigilance to ensure data currency.

Data Compatibility

Integrating diverse geospatial datasets, such as cadastral information, elevation models, and base features, can be technically complex. Ensuring that different data formats and coordinate systems work together seamlessly is essential for efficient workflows.

Data Completeness and Consistency

Gaps in data coverage or inconsistencies between different datasets can hinder analysis and lead to inaccurate results. For example, inconsistencies in how roads or water bodies are represented across different base layers can create challenges for spatial analysis.

Data Accessibility and Discoverability

Locating and accessing the necessary geospatial data can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple data providers and varying data access policies.

Altalis Geospatial Data Products: Empowering Geomatics Service Providers

Altalis offers a comprehensive suite of geospatial data products that are essential for geomatics service providers in Alberta. Examples of these products and their application in the industry include:

Cadastral Mapping defines the mapping of survey plan information including lots, blocks, right-of-ways, etc. It can apply to activities such as land surveys, mapping, planning, and analysis.

Title defines property boundaries and ownership information, including Land Titles Office LINC numbers (Land Identification Numeric Code). This data is critical for property ownership verification, due diligence and legal and administrative applications.

Dispositions data show surface activity extents with detailed attributes for leases and permits on Crown land. This data can be used for identifying land use, resource management and identifying potential conflicts.

LiDAR 7.5 DEM is a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model data product that can be used for terrain analysis, 3D modeling and infrastructure planning and engineering.

Base Features provide geographic features like roads, water bodies, and administrative boundaries. This data is essential for creating basemaps, contextualizing other data and supporting various geospatial analyses.
