Our measurement solutions feature at two stages of the Infrastructure lifecycle. At the conception stage, as-built drawings or/and precise maps of the project contexts are needed by designers, construction contractors and developers.
Our Asset Auditing services meet the need of property owners who require accurate counts of the numbers of different types of assets they own and want to know exactly where these assets are.
Those involved in deploying and managing various types of infrastructure are sadly familiar with many very expensive night-mare scenarios such as;
• A new factory project will not be completed on target because it will not fit into the site as designed,
• Some recently completed cell sites are not receiving signals at appropriate levels because they were inadvertently built at the wrong location,
• A ship has run aground whilst using outdated navigation charts.
All of these problems occur either because accurate maps of the spatial context were unavailable or appropriate positioning technologies were not applied.
Over the last five years AllCAD Consult Limited has acquired technologies and developed capacity that enables us to rapidly produce detailed measurements of any environment including waterbed profiles of any inland water body. The results we produce are extremely accurate, because we employ end to end electronic data handling processes culminating in detailed AutoCAD drawings of the survey area.
The ASHTECH RTK GPS equipment we have recently purchased from Thales Navigation complements our existing ensemble that includes a Leica T307 Total Station, Digital Tidal Gauge and Digital Sonalite Echo sounder.
Our new RTK GPS equipment will extend the scope of our services to any location on the surface of the earth. It removes the line of sight restriction, which is a requirement of the Total Station. Our ASHTECH RTK GPS has horizontal accuracy of up to 5mm.
In the past our solutions have been valuable to companies needing detailed as - is maps of sites of construction projects. Some of these projects include the extension to the quay wall, and allied works at Apapa wharf for Flour Mills Nigeria Plc and the shoreline protection works around the Marina area.
With our most recent acquisition, we will be able to satisfy the needs of organizations such as;
• Civil Engineering Construction Companies
• Telecommunication Service Providers
• Petroleum Exploration and Producing Companies
• Ports Operators and Authorities
• Electricity Distribution Companies
• Water Utilities
• Real Estate Developers
• Government at all levels.
MODEL
Every Infrastructure deployment project starts with a design phase in which the proposed reality is modeled. It is an indisputable fact that the success of the construction phase depends on the quality of work done in the design stage. We sell and support several world class design products that enable designers to succeed by giving them tools to easily and rapidly create and communicate their ideas in two and three dimensions.
These software include products from the following companies who are acknowledged leaders in their product segments.
Autodesk is the world's leading design and digital content creation resource. The company provides software and Internet portal services to help customers drive business through the power of design, serving a host of engineering and design disciplines as well as the film, broadcast, and multimedia industries.

Autodesk Map®; Autodesk Map® 3D 2006 connects CAD and GIS by providing powerful creation and editing tools for GIS professionals while supplying the geospatial features that mapping Solutions to MODEL and CAD technicians require.
Autodesk® Civil 3D™; Autodesk® Civil 3D™ 2006 software is a powerful civil engineering application designed to increase your productivity. Complete road, site, sewer and storm drain, and subdivision projects faster and more accurately using a dynamic engineering model. Updates made in one place are instantly reflected throughout for ultimate accuracy, flexibility, and consistency in plan development and production.
Autodesk Inventor® Series; Autodesk Inventor® Series is a comprehensive, integrated design solution. It combines Autodesk Inventor® software for 2D and 3D design and documentation, AutoCAD® Mechanical for 2D drawing and detailing, and Autodesk® Vault for data management. You no longer have to choose between 2D and 3D: Autodesk Inventor Series gives you the right tool for the job.
Design data is increasingly becoming important outside the drafting and design departments-to sales, operations, marketing, and the entire supply chain. Autodesk is the critical business partner keeping design information flowing smoothly throughout the enterprise. No other company in the digital design market has the reach or breadth of products as Autodesk.
MANAGE
Investment in and dependence on business infrastructure grows with the organization. In order to ensure that they are getting optimal results on their investment in facilities, corporate facility managers must ask questions about different aspects of their corporate infrastructure;
SPACE
• How much space is there relative to business turnover being generated at each operational location?
• How much space will be needed in future in response to changes in turnover and technology?
• How much is it costing to own space relative to the contribution of each business location to the organization’s profit?
FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
• How much furniture and equipment is there?
• Where the furniture and equipment is located and what are they being used for?
• How is the furniture and equipment being moved around and what is the impact of corporate churn on longevity of furniture and equipment?
• How are insurance policies on furniture and equipment being managed?
MAINTENANCE
• How is scheduled maintenance of equipment being planned and executed for optimum performance and longevity?
• How frequently are unscheduled maintenance activities occurring?
• How much are maintenance activities costing the company?
Using traditionally paper based methods to keep track of the immense amount of information generated in the process of managing corporate facilities results in mountains of files. This means that critical information cannot be easily found. Management effectiveness is thus severely impaired and the enterprise as a whole suffers consequently.
In order to help our clients manage information about corporate real estate efficiently and effectively we deliver a Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) Solution, Archibus®
Archibus®, is the world’s number one Commercial, Off-The Shelf, Facilities Management Software solution. All over the world, leading organizations are using Archibus® to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of their assets, thereby resulting in enhanced returns to all stakeholders.
