LIVE ON THE STRATEGIC ROAD NETWORK
From field survey to infrastructure intelligence.
Arbrium brings asset data, field surveys, evidence, workflows and reporting together in one geospatial platform — built for managing vegetation at scale.
Built alongside industry.
Supporting live operational surveys on live infrastructure programmes.
Designed with practising surveyors and asset managers.
Built around real GIS workflows, not a generic form builder.
THE PROBLEM
Vegetation management is still run on spreadsheets.
Not because the teams are behind — because nothing existed that understood assets, geography, evidence and professional sign-off at the same time.
Arbrium was built inside a live national infrastructure vegetation programme, alongside the surveyors doing the work.
01
Vegetation risk is a national liability, not a project.
Millions of assets across live infrastructure networks need managing at once. Asset owners are expected to evidence what was inspected, when, by whom, and what was done about it — across whole networks, every year.
Arbrium holds every asset, every inspection and every photograph in one auditable record.
02
The data lives in spreadsheets and inboxes.
Field notes are typed up twice, photographs sit on phones, GIS layers drift out of step with the survey sheet, and each contractor returns a different format.
One GIS-native database, one template per programme, one export that matches the client's spatial portal.
03
Nobody can prove the history of a single asset.
When something fails or a claim lands, the question is always the same: what did you know, and when? Reconstructing that from archived spreadsheets takes days.
Open the asset, see every survey since import — condition, class, works and photographs, in sequence.
INDUSTRIES
One platform.
Every vegetation estate.
Arbrium is configured per estate — inspection templates, condition scoring and export formats adapt to the standard your client audits against, without forking the system.

WHY ARBRIUM
The outcome, not just the software.
70%
Less time spent on manual data entry and report formatting
100%
Of asset history retained — searchable, permanent, defensible
3×
Faster turnaround from field survey to client-ready report
0
Spreadsheets required to manage an inspection programme
Fragmented and unproven.
Condition data scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes
No consistent record of what was inspected, when, or by whom
Reports built manually, one client at a time
Asset history lost when staff or contractors change
Unified and defensible.
Every survey, photo and note attached permanently to its asset
A single, auditable source of truth across the programme
Reports and exports generated in minutes, not days
Institutional knowledge that survives staff and contractor turnover
WORKFLOW
From field survey to finished report.
01
Plan the mission
Select assets directly from the map and generate an inspection route in seconds.
02
Capture in the field
Surveyors record condition data offline; Arbrium Air captures consistent imagery.
03
Review the evidence
AI links imagery to each asset and drafts observations for expert review.
04
Approve the survey
A qualified surveyor checks, amends and signs off every assessment.
05
Deliver the report
Export client-ready reports, GIS layers and evidence in the format they need.
REPORTING & EXPORT
Reports built for the client in front of you.
Generate a client-facing summary for a highways authority, or a full internal record with works history for your own team — the underlying survey data stays the same, only the audience changes.
