Geoliance Group
Subsidiaries
One Group. Four Areas of Expertise. One Goal: Delivering Better Infrastructure Projects.
The Geoliance Group brings together four specialist subsidiaries that can operate independently or combine their expertise depending on the scale and complexity of your projects.
From field measurement and data production to utility network engineering and large-scale international infrastructure programmes, Geoliance delivers integrated, practical and operational solutions for public authorities, infrastructure owners, industrial organisations and developers.
DATAGEO, KADRAN, DATAKAD and INFRAMIND share a common mission:
Enabling informed decisions, securing critical infrastructure and creating lasting value through geospatial intelligence.
