Comprehensive Mapping and Data Solutions
Environmental Datasets
Our environmental map datasets report environmental, flood and geology data affecting developments and ground conditions. British Geological Survey maps are a principal source of data for GB bringing a range of datasets affecting property construction, safety and civil engineering.

This report describes the national scale Natural Ground Stability (GeoSure) environmental dataset. The methods used to create the map dataset have been critically assessed and its fitness for purpose determined by specialists in BGS.
Generalised digital British Geological Survey maps based on BGS’s New Series 1:50 000 and 1:63 360-scale (one-inch to one-mile) maps with updated nomenclature, including a few 1:100 000-scale maps of Orkney and the Hebrides.
BGS Civils
The primary goal of these British Geological Survey maps is to provide the key engineering characteristics of the geology of Great Britain to professional users who need simple and rapid access to such information
GeoSmart’s Groundwater Flood Risk Assessments (GWFRA) are the first ever flood dataset reports to demonstrate the risk to a site from groundwater flooding. It provides the most accurate method of screening and assessment at postcode level available.
BGS GeoScour
The GeoScour map dataset comprises two different tiers of geographical information system data containing seven different data layers. Each tier represents a different scale of assessment, from a high-level catchment to subcatchment data.
Environmental Mapping Data for Geology, Ground Conditions and Flooding
Environmental datasets provide geographic information that can be used to investigate ground conditions, understand geological characteristics and assess selected environmental factors affecting a site. CentremapsLive supplies specialist datasets for professionals who need to incorporate environmental information into mapping, GIS, engineering and site assessment workflows.
Our range includes British Geological Survey (BGS) mapping and specialist datasets covering natural ground stability, geology, engineering characteristics and ground-scour information, alongside groundwater flood susceptibility data. Depending on the dataset, this information can help you examine conditions across a site or wider area, support technical analysis and add environmental context to existing mapping.
Choosing an Environmental Dataset
The right dataset depends on what you need to investigate and how you intend to use the information. Geological mapping may be useful for understanding the underlying geology, while ground stability or groundwater flooding datasets focus on more specific factors. Engineering-focused datasets can provide relevant geological information for civil engineering and infrastructure work.
Consider the geographical coverage, scale, data format and intended application before selecting a product. Always check the individual dataset description to confirm its coverage, limitations and suitability for your project.
Environmental Datasets for GIS and Technical Workflows
Environmental mapping data can complement base mapping and other geographic information to provide a more complete picture of a site and its surroundings. Depending on the product and available format, datasets may be suitable for use in GIS, engineering and environmental analysis workflows.
