Case Study: Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd achieves significant time and cost efficiencies in field surveys with Ordnance Survey

Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd - Customer Case Study

Rubicon Heritage Services Ltd, a UK archaeological and heritage consultancy, needed reliable, fast background mapping to verify field survey data and set survey methodology across varied sites. They turned to Ordnance Survey’s OS OpenData (including OS VectorMap District, OS Street View, MiniScale and Land-Form PANORAMA) to provide the mapping foundation for their survey equipment and workflows.

Ordnance Survey supplied free, on‑demand OS OpenData datasets that Rubicon integrated into their field systems for real‑time verification, removing licensing delays and enabling instant project tile downloads. The result was quicker project start‑up, more consistent national coverage, and measurable time and cost savings—Rubicon now cites OS OpenData as their first choice for overview mapping and independent GIS verification.
