Engineering grids for engineering projects.
Anywhere in the world.
SnakeGrid redefines how infrastructure projects interact with spatial data. By creating a bespoke, low-distortion coordinate system that follows the path of your project, it eliminates the compromises introduced by traditional map projections.
“Implementing SnakeGrid for the HS2 engineering project was essential. SnakeGrid provides a unity scale engineering grid within a narrow construction corridor, ensuring ‘worry-free’ setting out of highly complex and technically challenging infrastructure.”
Seamless spacial accuracy
Unlike conventional engineering grids, SnakeGrid provides a seamless, end-to-end workflow where survey, design, and construction operate within a single, unified grid. With distortion reduced to below survey accuracy, SnakeGrid delivers a near-perfect correlation between the digital design environment and the real world.
This clarity removes the need for scale corrections, reduces the risk of error, and improves collaboration across disciplines – ultimately saving time, reducing cost, and enabling better decision-making throughout the lifecycle of your project.
More about SnakeGrid
Why use SnakeGrid?
Trusted by network operators, design consultancies and construction firms, discover why SnakeGrid is chosen for some of the largest engineering projects in the world.
Single continuous coordinate system
SnakeGrid creates a single coordinate space that can extend for hundreds of km’s even. Routes that diverge significantly can also be accommodate whilst still be covered by a single parameter file, maintaining the low distortion continuous philosophy of the SnakeGrid approach.
Near zero distortion
The level of distortion is below survey accuracy so in practice it can be considered distortion free. With the design space matching the real world the geometric properties of shapes and alignments are retained during the construction phase. Assets are built exactly as they were designed.
Seamless link between phases
A single recognised coordinate system for the lifetime of the asset improves data management and simplifies workflows. Integration with field equipment & software allows data to flow freely between survey, design and construction improving efficiency and creating confidence. External data sources can also be easily accessed.
Reduced risk across the project
With all data being based on the projects coordinate system, the single, low distortion approach of SnakeGrid provides a solid foundation for project reducing many of the risk factors faced by projects. Teams are free to concentrate on the task at hand, delivering better outcomes whilst saving time & money.
