The Ilifa Spatial Services division has developed proprietary Asset Maintenance Management Strategy (AMMSTRAT) web-based software that offers the full spectrum of maintenance management requirements. AMMSTRAT applies to various disciplines such as the construction of roads, road furniture, cemetery management, and water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure. The system has been developed using sound spatial principles (GIS) and its robust database and linked visual representation are key components.

We offer the following Geospatial services:

• Geographic Information System (GIS) functionality capabilities.
• Development of infrastructure layout and attribute compilations.
• Remote field data collection services.
• Web-enabled spatial browser viewing facilities
• GIS backbone support for all the aforementioned disciplines.

We stay abreast of the latest appropriate technologies, environmental requirements and economic constraints relevant to residential and township development.

We are able to provide our client with the best suitable solutions for :

• Arterials, internal streets and bus routes
• Stormwater drainage
• Water and sewer reticulation
• Rudimentary services such as stand taps, pit latrines and low-water-demand sanitary systems
• Low-cost housing
