Osmose Utilities Services, the provider of critical inspection, maintenance and restoration services for utility and telecom infrastructure in the U.S., announced that it has acquired the Geospatial & Asset Management business of Effigis Geo-Solutions, a provider of geospatial information serving major Canadian utilities and telecommunication providers.
Effigis has been a division of Cansel, Canada’s largest supplier of geospatial and engineering field equipment which will retain the Earth Observation and Products groups of Effigis.
The combination of Osmose and Effigis creates a complete, data-driven solution set for ensuring the resilience and reliability of critical utility and telecom-owned infrastructure in the Canadian market.
Effigis draws from a vast selection of geospatial data collection tools to provide services ranging from land information collection to the development of custom solutions that address land mapping, field operations tracking, asset management and cable network monitoring needs.
Coupling Osmose’s data-driven utility asset inspection, structural analysis, and restoration capabilities with the services of Effigis, provides Canadian utility and telecom providers with a new level of support for enhancing infrastructure strength and safety.
