Utilities and infrastructure sector-focused consultancy Dalcour Maclaren has acquired Geomap, a specialist geomatics and land surveying consultancy.
Based in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, Geomap brings more than 15 years of experience providing surveying and geospatial data to water and wastewater companies across the UK.
Recognised for its expertise in topographic, utility, and drainage surveys, as well as laser scanning and 3D modelling, Geomap delivers survey-grade data to support design, construction, and asset management.
The acquisition enhances Dalcour Maclaren’s geomatics capability at a pivotal time as water companies begin their AMP8 investment programmes aimed at improving resilience and reducing environmental impact.
