Contours: The Invisible Framework of Planning

From precise engineering to broad-scale planning, contour intervals shape the way we interact with terrain. The right interval ensures that decision-makers—from engineers to farmers and urban planners—see exactly what they need, at the right scale.

A 50cm contour might guide the meticulous placement of sewage lines, while a 1m interval is ideal for road and pipeline design. In agriculture, 2m contours support contour farming, helping to manage water flow and soil erosion. At a regional scale, 5–10m intervals aid forestry and land-use planning, while 20m contours provide a broad overview for city expansion and infrastructure development.

🚀 All of this is powered by GeoSmart, delivering high-precision elevation data with contour intervals as fine as 50cm to support smarter planning and development.
