NCTech provides high-definition 360° street-level imagery and LiDAR—plus AI-derived feature extraction—to help departments inventory assets, plan maintenance, and optimize budgets without heavy field deployment.
Captures are near survey-grade and suitable for GIS workflows, enabling reliable measurement of signs, sidewalks/curb ramps, pavement condition, drainage, and other right-of-way features for defensible decision-making.
Yes. In addition to vehicle capture, we support UTVs, golf carts, pedestrian/backpack, and other methods to collect imagery in laneways, trails, and constrained zones, improving coverage for mobility and ADA-related projects.
Deliverables are Esri-friendly and integrate with ArcGIS for asset management, spatial analytics, urban planning, public safety, parks and recreation management, and more. You can view and manage data via VR.World or ingest files directly into existing enterprise stacks.
Departments typically reduce field visits and accelerate inspections by shifting to desktop assessments—freeing staff time and stretching limited budgets while maintaining service levels.
Common deployments include roadway and sidewalk condition, curb/ADA ramp inventories, signage and markings, utilities and drainage features, and right-of-way validations for capital planning and maintenance cycles.
