The visualisation of data, and the ability to communicate this to others, is a critical element in our work.  This can range from analysing the visibility of a proposed development over 400 square kilometres, to designing the most efficient sequence of operations for the next 50 years of a quarry.  Being able to think and visualise information at the large scale has enabled us to undertake projects as diverse as setting the new Green Belt for Dublin to preparing mining strategies for the Government of Oman.
