Gaist
Inspecting the nations highways
Published 22 MAY 2022
Gaist was founded in 2007, leveraging considerable knowledge in infrastructure surveying, to better understand the condition of highway infrastructure and assets and enable detailed lifecycle planning to be undertaken in a way that was not commonplace. Gaist is a multi-award winning international roadscape and highways technology company, using digital processes to provide deep insights into roads and their environment to organisations both in the UK and globally. These include local authorities, central government departments, software assets management companies, utilities suppliers, private infrastructure owners and highway maintenance contractors.
Leading the way in roadscape and highways information
Gaist is a pioneer in its field, having the largest data bank of highly detailed images of the roadscape and highway network – meaning it can provide clients with unrivalled intelligence and analysis of the whole roadscape based on their specific needs. This includes providing high level asset information, mapping and location identification, surface materials analysis, deterioration modelling and high definition site location imagery.
