Partners and technology

From processing software to survey equipment, you'll find everything you need to know about SnakeGrid's academic and technology partners right here.

Software

Autodesk

Autodesk's design software, including Civil 3D, is used extensively across infrastructure and construction projects. SnakeGrid integrates directly, letting design teams work natively in project-specific low-distortion coordinates.

SCC

SCC (Survey Control Centre) is a Windows-based survey software package from Atlas Computers. It handles data reduction and adjustment, point cloud analysis and drawing production, and includes dedicated tools for rail and road surveys. SnakeGrid coordinate systems can be defined and used within it for project-specific survey work.

Academia

University College London Ventures

UCL's Faculty of Engineering Sciences is one of the UK's leading engineering schools, spanning civil, mechanical, electronic and geomatic engineering. Their former Head of Geomatics, Dr. Jonathan Iliffe, invented and developed the SnakeGrid concept. Today, UCL Ventures has made Severn Partnership the official licensing partner for the SnakeGrid framework, supporting its continued development and use across infrastructure projects.
