MDC Geospatial LTD | Topographic survey Ireland

Innovative Geospatial Solutions

Founder-Led Expertise.

At MDC Geospatial, we deliver the high-accuracy data required to keep some of Ireland’s most complex infrastructure projects on track. Buid on the foundation of a MSc in Land and Hydrographic Surveying, we combine academic rigor with boots-on-the-ground experience across the renewable energy sector from initial site feasibility to complex delivery route surveys.

LiDAR Capabilities

We have invested in high-resolution LiDAR to complement traditional surveys. We specialise in mapping through dense tree canopies and capturing data on inaccessible terrain or river corridors for flood risk assessments.

Hydrographic Surveying

We provide sub-surface mapping for river corridors, reservoirs, and lakes essential for flood risk assessments.

Trusted for National Infrastructure

We have delivered critical data for projects involving Uisce Éireann (Irish Water), County Councils, and leading Architectural firms

Past Projects & Insights

At MDC Geospatial, we bring experience from diverse, large-scale projects across Ireland. We combine expertise in Surveying, GIS, and Drone mapping to deliver trustable results. Below are examples of significant past projects that form the foundation of the expertise we apply at MDC Geospatial.

Greenfield Development

A large-scale topographical survey aimed at surveying the proposed development site and the surrounding roads adjacent to the development

Wetland Rehabilitation

Provided detailed setting out based on engineering team specifications, guiding rehabilitation efforts during the construction of this environmental rehabilitation project.

Renewable Energy Grid Connection

Route Survey for Renewable Energy Company. Providing a detailed survey for the grid connection route of a renewable energy project, working closely with the client to assess the most efficient and feasible path. Using topographical and GIS data, we helped identify key considerations such as flood risk and infrastructure integration, ensuring the project met regulatory and environmental requirements while staying on track for timely completion.

Historical Flood Mapping

We conducted historical flood mapping to provide critical insights for proposed infrastructure routes, utilising Sentinel-1 radar and satellite data. This approach allowed us to analyze past flood events and assess flood risk along potential routes, helping the client make informed decisions about infrastructure design and placement while minimizing environmental impact.

Conducted large-scale drone mapping to support swept path analysis for vehicles transporting oversized loads, delivering high-resolution orthomosaics and terrain models to accurately assess route feasibility and potential landowner impact.

Swept Path Analysis

Reservoir Mapping - LiDAR

Recently completed a LiDAR survey to support engineering work at a reservoir site, focusing on mapping surrounding topography to aid in calculating storage capacity and drainage volumes. Deliverables included a high-resolution point cloud and digital surface model, with error propagation based on control network accuracy to ensure the reliability of volumetric analysis.
