Site intelligence in
minutes, not days

Geotechnical and civil engineering firms need fast access to hazard, zoning, and geological constraint data. KxAI queries it by AI. Koordinates manages your survey outputs.

The Problem

Every site assessment starts with a data hunt

Scattered sources

Hazard data across council portals, LINZ, GNS, NIWA. Every region different. No single point of access.

Manual GIS lookups

Senior engineers navigating unfamiliar portals, downloading shapefiles, cross-referencing layers that should take minutes.

Missed constraints

When data is hard to find, things get missed. A flood overlay, a heritage buffer — any gap creates project risk and liability.

The Solution

Two products, one engineering workflow

Koordinates Platform

Your data pipeline

Version-controlled management of survey data. LiDAR hosting. Auto-provisioned Esri REST and OGC endpoints. Map Viewer for visual assessment.

  • Version control via Kart (git for geospatial)
  • LiDAR and point cloud hosting
  • CAD export & 5000+ coordinate systems
  • Auto-provisioned map services
KxAI

Site constraint queries

Ask about hazards, zoning, and geology in natural language. Get cross-referenced answers with sources. No GIS skills needed.

  • "What's the liquefaction risk at this address?"
  • Cross-reference flood, fault, zoning in one query
  • Full audit trail on every data access
  • Works in Claude, ChatGPT, or your tools
KxAI in Action

From site address to geotechnical constraints

kxai — engineering workspace MCP
We're doing a geotech assessment for a new commercial building at 15 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna. What are the key natural hazard constraints?
kxai.find_features_near_point()
I've queried Auckland Council hazard overlays and LINZ geological data for 15 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna:
Liquefaction Susceptibility Liquefaction Possible
Flood Plain Not within 1% AEP
Coastal Inundation Within 1m SLR zone
Overland Flow Path No paths intersect site
Unitary Plan Zoning Business — Metropolitan Centre
Heritage No scheduled items
Two items flagged: liquefaction possible classification requiring detailed investigation per NZS 1170.5, and the site falls within the 1m sea level rise coastal inundation area. Sources: Auckland Council GeoMaps, LINZ Topo50.
