Magnasoft brings extensive experience to the Utilities vertical, helping electric utilities with the data and insights for designing, drafting, and planning of electricity supply lines within a township or from a power station. We are among the top few firms in India that have mapped 275,000 LKM of transmission and distribution lines for the world’s top 20 utility companies. Providing the right spatial data and information services for utilities is key to their success: this is why our geospatial mapping services for utilities can be tailored to satisfy the business needs and disruptions through accurate processing of data, improving infrastructure, using cutting-edge service solutions and 100% versatile, highly skilled and cross-trained staff.
Utilities require precise and up-to-date 3D utility network data for engineering analysis and network design. Our 3D line modelling services include: Creation of Method-1 structures to match LiDAR, Creation of Method-4 structures based on LiDAR, utility material database and standards, field photos of structures and as-built drawings (for engineered steel poles) and thermal calculations to calculate as-surveyed temperature of conductor and graphically sag conductors to match existing conditions. We provide thermal rating reports which include maximum temperature for which vertical required clearance under a wire just becomes insufficient. Based on this report, utilities can identify clearance violations with nearby buildings, roads, etcetera in the existing conditions. Finally, we provide structural analysis by modeling poles and pylons using Method-4 structures.
Vegetation encroachment can cause service interruptions. Magnasoft’s web-based power line vegetation encroachment monitoring data service offers power utility service providers a cost-effective, efficient and accurate method to monitor transmission lines and surrounding vegetation. Using the classified point cloud data and catenary wires, we run our customized tool to find the location where the vegetation is approaching the wires, within the client’s defined permissible range. Magnasoft provides power utility service providers with danger location details with the classified data. With the use of our models, energy providers can create mitigation plans to deal with immediate issues and proactively plan for long-term management of vegetation along corridors, to avoid future power interruptions and outages.
Natural Gas is one of the most important public utilities whose business operations are intrinsically spatial. At Magnasoft, we have years of expertise in executing notable gas utility projects across various geographies. We use a host of mapping techniques which support in creating tailor-made pipeline management platforms for our clients. Right from data updates in the existing database to providing 3D and 4D models for visualization of buildings and pipelines to sharing the real-time location of the pipelines. The location maps help pipeline inspectors to digitally locate the utilities without having to personally inspect them. Also, the customer location near to these pipelines can be easily identified thereby ensuring tighter security and safety of the households.
Modeling a water network in an urban setup has become an increasingly difficult task, because of the rapid expansion of human settlements. Magnasoft leverages spatial technologies to address issues that clients face, for example water leakage, drainage, interruption of water supply, pipe breaks and so on. Our services help in creating a Smart Water Management system by leveraging spatial data, thereby resulting in significant cost savings for our clients. We not only create stellar models and maps for the water network but also update the existing database and seamlessly integrate it with various applications. This supports better analysis and effective planning for an intelligent water management system.
Over the last 20 years, Magnasoft has established itself as a leading global provider of spatially intelligent solutions for the Telecommunication Industry. Our deep domain knowledge allows us to effectively address the whole communications industry landscape including telecom, cable and broadband services. The Communication Network Services offered by Magnasoft focuses on enabling digital transformation of carriers and network operators.
Our wide range of solutions, which have helped the Telecom Sector overcome numerous challenges and deliver most satisfying experiences to their users, range from creation of GIS land base for wired telecom networks to generation of high resolution 3D models for accurate planning of wired and wireless networks to high-end utility asset management.

Magnasoft offers a set of innovative spatial data and information services for utilities. Combined with the most accurate and up-to-date ortho imagery and LiDAR data, we use spatial databases effectively to reap the benefits of using GIS to manage infrastructure and assets, and extend these benefits for improving planning, customer care, and administrative processes. Visualization and mapping features give you an overall, connected view of your network in relation to your customers and surrounding infrastructure.
Over the years, GIS technology has become a very useful tool for managing utility asset information. This means that electric utilities visualize their assets and other network information with mapping software that also enables them to quickly take action in the case of a power outage of an emergency, as the software monitors the assets. GIS has the added value of storing metadata in a spatial database that enables spatial analysis. Over time, ortho imagery and LiDAR data have been adopted by utility companies to add a third dimension to their mapping environment and even more accurately perform spatial analysis, for example for vegetation management.
Magnasoft’s services and solutions provide utility companies the ability to reduce their cost of operations and maintenance of assets, and improve operational efficiency through transmission line mapping, distribution line mapping, 3D corridor mapping, catenary stringing, substation mapping and modeling, powerline design and analysis, creating powerline inspection reports, vegetation management mapping, utility asset management, powerline engineering analysis using PlsCADD software, gas network design, water network design and thematic map development. Additionally, we provide GIS solutions for Oil and Gas companies so that the progress of specific oil and gas projects can be mapped and analyzed.
Utilities provide critical infrastructure and services that form the basis of economic and social activities. Utility assets therefore need to be monitored and maintained constantly so that society can depend on their functioning under all circumstances. Location data such as orthophotos and LiDAR data help utility companies manage their assets, not only in terms of performance but how they relate to their direct environment. Magnasoft’s geospatial content and data for utilities provides utility managers everything they need to reduce the cost of operations and maintenance of assets, and improve operational efficiency.
Magnasoft brings extensive spatial data and information service experience to the Utilities vertical. We have aligned our services along with the changing business needs and infrastructural enhancements for better productivity – a key to profitability. Magnasoft has almost 2 decades of expertise in executing projects for the core utilities such as hydropower, gas, electricity, and energy industries. We are among the top few firms in India that have mapped 275,000 LKM of transmission and distribution lines for the world’s top 20 utility companies.
