The energy sector seeks to optimise the knowledge of distribution networks (pipelines, electric lines, conduits) in order to reinforce on one hand their ability to intervene, maintain, expand and implement, and on the other hand, to reinforce their contingency plans in the case of disasters. They must also adapt to international environmental standards that are becoming more and more stringent, all while maintaining their productivity
Network managers thus need reliable geographic data, turnkey business information systems adapted to the location of their assets, the management of their distribution networks, risk management, the study of new implantation sites.
IGN FI assists them in implementing customised solutions that range from the simple mapping of a site to the implementation of a comprehensive geographic information system. IGN France International assists those involved in the energy field and brings them a better knowledge of their networks, increased development and reinforced intervention ability.
Even though IGN France International does not sell "off-the-shelf" items, it offers a range of products that it adapts to the specific needs of its clients. The company thus positions itself in the 3D market in the field of urbanisation, cartographic production chains or business applications in the field of land and property management. These products were developed in the IGN's research laboratories.

Reference3D
Reference3D® is a unique and homogenous global geographic reference system allowing the representation and analysis of territories. It targets both public and private entities (national mapping agencies, Defence organisations, governments). It is the fruit of a partnership between the French Defence, the IGN and Spot Image. The tool is made up of three layers:
Digital elevation model
An orthoimage database
Metadata for quality and traceability
Reference3D® offers important coverage (more than 50 million km2 are already available) and supports many applications:
Image orthorectification
Flight simulation, information for arms systems
Cartographic creation and updating
Evaluation and foresight in strategic areas
Risk prevention and crisis management
Geoview
Geoview®, the production tool of the IGN, is made for all data-producing structures (national mapping agencies, defence organisations). This comprehensive cartographic data production software combines the following business functions within the same process:
Image processing
Photogrammetry
Cartography
Geoview® enables the production of digital elevation models, orthoimages and 2D vector and 3D databases.
It is made up of four modules:
Standard module
Geometric module
Altimetric module
Cartographic layout module
IGN FI concedes Geoview® in the form of capacity building in the context of the different projects that it leads abroad.
3D Urbanis
3D Urbanis is made using BATI3D, the IGN's production tool and fruit of 10 years of research within the MATIS laboratory (Methods of Analysis for Image processing and Stereorestitution). This product targets all structures involved in urbanisation (authorities, urban planners, elected officials).
3D Urbanis has numerous goals:
Enhancement of the urban territory and its heritage
Highlighting a city's potential for economic development
Optimising urban development while respecting environmental constraints
Elaborating its projects while keeping the impact of different nuisances in mind (atmospheric, sound)
Seeing projects as a whole while taking all factors into account (natural resources, transportation)
Taking rapid action/anticipating
Identifying alternative solutions in crisis situations (detours, evacuation plans)
The 3D georeferenced data of a city, once integrated into the dedicated software, make up a decision-support, dialoguing and communication tool.
CAMA Solution (land assessment)
Developed by IGN FI, this is a tool made for those who wish to accurate calculate land values.
It is used to calculate the value of land and property. Configured according to the specificities of the local authorities, IGN FI's CAMA strictly respects international assessment standards.
IGN FI's CAMA works on a GIS platform and is made up of seven specific modules:
Data management
Analysis of market sales
Estimation and choice of assessment methods
