Utility Mapping
Utility mapping was also of high importance to Huntley, including a large watermain model project. “The utilisation of the high-resolution aerial imagery has reduced dependence on GPS surveys because features such as hydrants and manholes can be located easily which in turn, increases staff efficiency and reduces fieldwork,” stated Irvin.

Remote Evaluation
“Nearmap has also been invaluable to use to verify work done on any property in the Village. Being able to use the split screen comparison with differing years, it’s also possible to determine changes to a property over time.”
