Plumbing drawings: Plumbing drawings are used for both residential and commercial construction Projects.

Piping Drawings: Piping Drawings contain layouts include Pipe Fitting, Water Pipe, Plumbing Pipe, Sewer Pipe, Drain Pipe, Irrigation Pipe, Soil Pipe, Gas Pipe, Sprinkler Pipe, Heating Pipe layouts etc.

Remote sensing: Remote Sensing is the science and art of acquiring information (spectral, spatial, and temporal) about material objects, area, or phenomenon, without coming into physical contact with the objects, area, or phenomenon under investigation.

Railway Asset Mapping: Survey of all rail track infrastructure to map all track centerlines, track geometry and rail assets.

Spatial Database Management: Definition of a spatial database system as a database system that offers spatial data types in its data model and query language, and supports spatial data types in its implementation, providing at least spatial indexing and spatial join methods.

Satellite maps: Satellite imagery consists of photographs of Earth or other planets made by means of artificial satellites.

Socio-economic survey: A survey measuring the basic characteristics of a community, from which statistics can be compiled.

Structural Drawings: Detailed drawing of the basic structure of a building, showing how it is all formed together.
