LiDAR Data Processing & DEM Generation

The District required comprehensive processing of raw LiDAR sourced from government agencies to support terrain analysis and infrastructure planning. We ran the full pipeline (quality assurance for completeness and resolution, advanced noise filtering, and precise classification of ground and non-ground points), and from that enhanced data generated a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model.

Every step was documented, and the final model was rigorously validated against known control points and reference datasets to guarantee government-grade accuracy.

Outcomes & impact

Highly accurate, validated Digital Elevation Model
Foundation for detailed terrain analysis
Infrastructure planning datasets
Informed environmental management decisions

Steep Slope Map Production

Building on the generated DEM, the District needed detailed slope analysis and risk classification for land-use planning and hazard assessment. Slope gradients were computed using advanced GIS algorithms and classified into distinct categories (moderate, steep, and very steep) to surface areas of potential concern across the district.

That analysis was translated into detailed steep-slope maps produced to high cartographic standards and delivered in the formats planning teams actually use day to day.

NG9-1-1 Addressing Aggregation & Automation System

December 2025 – May 2026

In partnership with Urban Systems Ltd., the CSRD engaged Camber & Core to build a master NG9-1-1 addressing database for the regional district and its member municipalities. We executed all data engineering, transformation, ETL development, and QA/QC automation, conforming the data to NENA standards and preparing it for provincial aggregator submission.

A gap analysis assessed each municipality against the NENA data model; legacy attributes were mapped to the full NENA field set with NGUIDs as the authoritative identifier; and automated attribute rules now enforce compliance at the data layer, blocking non-compliant edits. A central, version-controlled NG911 Hub with scheduled automations and dashboards was delivered to run the system.

Outcomes & impact

Standards-aligned master SSAP dataset
Automated ETL and QA/QC pipelines
Per-municipality web editing applications

NG9-1-1 Readiness & Addressing Operations Modernization

July 2025 – August 2025

The District engaged Camber & Core to prepare core geospatial datasets and workflows for NG9-1-1. The work emphasized a scalable path from everyday edits to delivery-ready data, with clear governance, quality controls, and minimal disruption to staff operations.

We assessed the existing Road Centerline and Site/Structure Address Point datasets against NG9-1-1 requirements, mapped legacy attributes to an aligned schema with stable NGUIDs, and built a layered QA/QC framework. An Addressing Maintenance application was delivered on the ArcGIS stack to streamline edits, guide users with inline rules, and preserve a full, auditable edit history.

Outcomes & impact

NENA-aligned Road Centerline & SSAP data
Automated conformance validation
Purpose-built Address Manager application
Repeatable, auditable update process
