Preparation of DPRs for Odisha Lift Irrigation Programme Coastal & Western Odisha

Project Overview

The ORSAC Empanelment Projects represent a series of geospatial assignments executed by SpatiEdge Technologies Pvt. Ltd. under official empanelment with the Odisha Space Applications Centre (ORSAC). These projects involved delivering high-precision field surveys, structured CAD–GIS data integration, and Web-GIS platforms to support state and departmental planning, monitoring, and governance initiatives across Odisha.

Through this empanelment, SpatiEdge contributed reliable spatial intelligence systems that enabled standardized data creation, improved inter-departmental coordination, and strengthened the adoption of geospatial technologies in government decision-making workflows.

Client / Stakeholders

• Odisha Space Applications Centre (ORSAC)

• Government of Odisha – Multiple Line Departments

• State Planning, Infrastructure, Forest, Revenue, and Utility Agencies

Project Objectives

• Provide accurate DGPS/GNSS-based spatial data for government projects

• Convert legacy CAD drawings and maps into GIS-ready digital datasets

• Develop Web-GIS platforms for visualization, monitoring, and reporting

• Standardize geospatial data formats and workflows across departments

• Support evidence-based planning and transparent governance

Scope of Work

• DGPS/GNSS surveys for control points, assets, boundaries, and infrastructure

• CAD to GIS conversion and spatial data structuring

• Geo-referencing and digitization of departmental maps and drawings

• Creation of thematic GIS layers for planning and analysis

• Development of Web-GIS dashboards and map-based applications

• Integration of spatial databases with departmental MIS and APIs

Methodology & Technical Approach

SpatiEdge adopted a structured, standards-driven methodology aligned with ORSAC guidelines. Field surveys using DGPS/GNSS systems established accurate spatial control, which was integrated with legacy CAD drawings and departmental datasets. GIS layers were designed with consistent schemas, attributes, and projections to ensure interoperability.

For Web-GIS components, spatial databases were connected to web-based interfaces enabling real-time visualization, query, and reporting. Multiple quality checks were conducted to validate positional accuracy, data integrity, and system performance before deployment.

Technologies & Tools

• DGPS / GNSS Survey Systems

• Total Station (where required)

• GIS Platforms (ArcGIS / QGIS)

• CAD–GIS Integration Tools

• Web-GIS Frameworks and Spatial Databases

• High-resolution Satellite Imagery

Key Deliverables

• DGPS survey datasets and control point reports

• GIS-ready spatial databases and thematic layers
