Geographic Information Systems

Geospatial technologies have been radically transformative for our world. They have enabled us to become masters of cartography, with the ability to chart continents, countries, cities, landscapes, and all other natural and man-made features. But the explosion in volume and diversity of location information presents new challenges – and new opportunities – that cannot be addressed with cartography alone. It’s no longer enough to plot objects on a map. In order to meet the multifaceted needs of our communities today, clients require geospatial insights that can only be uncovered by more sophisticated research and analysis, enabled by powerful technologies, skills, and instruments. That’s where we can help.

Our suite of GIS services enables more efficient and effective mapping, capable of extracting targeted and actionable insights from an enormous volume data. In a world of greater complexity, RVA’s geospatial capabilities empower our clients’ decision-making at an international, national, regional, local, and hyper-local level. Our GIS services have helped clients and policymakers alike reimagine their service delivery, allocate their resources more effectively, and even tackle complex challenges such as climate risk mitigation. Whether it’s simple geographic overlays or advanced geoprocessing, we can help you uncover the complex relationships in underlying data that can be used to drive out more cost-effective and high-quality outcomes for your next project.
