Client case study · Roads and Highways Department · Roadside tree plantation

From roadside planting to a living, map-ready green-corridor record.

Roads and Highways Department uses Skyhawk and Tiger One, under OneRHD, to bring roadside tree plantation into a structured record with road-area context, species information, planting details, map visibility and follow-up potential.

Make roadside greening visible beyond planting day.

Roadside tree planting contributes to a greener, more resilient road environment, but the value depends on the ability to understand where planting has occurred and what needs attention afterward. RHD needs a practical record that connects planting activity to the road network and can support monitoring over time.

Challenge

Turn thousands of planting actions into a managed green-corridor programme.

01

Dispersed planting activity

Plantation takes place across a distributed road network, making it difficult to see the overall picture through individual reports alone.

02

Short-lived evidence

A planting photograph is useful in the moment, but has limited long-term value if it is not attached to a structured record.

03

Care after planting

Young trees need attention, survival checks and sometimes replacement; a programme needs continuity beyond the first entry.

Solution

A Skyhawk and OneRHD workflow for accountable roadside greening.

Skyhawk supports field capture where planting and monitoring take place. OneRHD brings the resulting entries into a shared, searchable and map-ready management record for review and follow-up.

01

Plantation register

RHD can create a structured plantation record rather than leave planting activity in disconnected reports or photographs.

02

Road and area context

Entries can be connected to the relevant road area and local administrative context, making roadside planting easier to locate and review.

03

Species and planting details

The workflow provides a consistent place to record planting characteristics, including tree species and the related planting information.

04

Map view

A map-ready view helps teams understand the geographic distribution of plantation activity across the road network.

05

Skyhawk field evidence

Field teams can use Skyhawk to capture supporting observations and photographs at the planting location for later review.

06

Monitoring and survival follow-up

The record can support future visits, care activity, survival checks and replacement planting rather than treating planting day as the end of the work.

Map presentation

See the green corridor in 2D, 3D and a guided tour.

As field engineers enter and synchronize plantation updates in Skyhawk, the current field record can inform complementary OneRHD presentation views. This gives managers a more immediate way to understand the relationship between planting activity and the road corridor, while field verification remains part of the governed workflow.

2D

Plan and compare on the map

A 2D view supports a clear overhead understanding of current recorded planting sections along a selected road corridor, helping teams compare the geographic pattern of field updates.

3D

Present the corridor in context

A 3D presentation can make the current plantation story easier to communicate by showing the corridor as a spatial environment rather than as a list of records alone.

TOUR

Follow the road, section by section

A guided tour can follow the corridor at road level, allowing a reviewer to move through field-entered planting sections in sequence and gain a more intuitive sense of continuity.

Public illustration only. The live OneRHD map, road selection, planting sections and operational details are not shown on this website.

The advantage

Planting becomes a managed environmental asset, not a one-day activity.

Clearer programme visibility

A shared register and map-ready view help RHD understand the distribution of roadside plantation activity.

Evidence connected to place

Field observations and photographs can stay connected to the relevant planting record, rather than being lost in separate channels.

Better stewardship over time

Structured records create a foundation for monitoring, care, survival checks and replacement planting as the trees establish.

The public story protects operational plantation information.

This case study excludes live system data and sensitive operational details, including specific road locations, planting entries, species lists, quantities, dates, maps, field photographs, staff information, contractor information and internal performance reporting.
