Surveying Technology Enables a Strong Maritime Nation

Set industry benchmarks, tell the story of China well, convey the voice of China, fully demonstrate the soaring Chinese economy, rising national brands, and upward entrepreneurial spirit. Recently, the "Rising National Brands" special series program had a dialogue with Mr. Wang Shiqiang, Chairman of SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. to explore the innovative development path in the field of marine surveying and mapping.

In the vast and boundless blue territory, ocean surveying is like a pair of sharp "eyes", revealing the mysteries of the seabed and the distribution of resources for us. As an important branch of the surveying and mapping industry, marine surveying not only presents unique challenges, but also carries the heavy responsibility of national marine resource development, environmental protection, and disaster warning. In this deep and rich ocean world, Wang Shiqiang, Chairman of SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. provides us with a compass to explore the mysteries of the ocean with his rich industry experience and firm entrepreneurial aspirations.

Wang Shiqiang, a surveyor of marine geographic information, has been at the forefront of marine surveying for many years. He carries the dream of making accurate surveying data a beacon of light for the ocean, and is committed to promoting the development of national marine resources, marine economy, protecting the marine ecological environment, and safeguarding national maritime rights and interests.

At the program, Mr. Wang Shiqiang introduced the current situation and core business of the company's development to everyone. SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. was established in April 2018. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in marine surveying, engineering surveying, real estate surveying, and geographic information services. Since its establishment, the company has always adhered to the corporate culture concept of "integrity, responsibility, rigor, innovation, unity, and sharing", and is committed to providing customers with cross industry Earth space solutions. At present, the company has obtained the national first-class surveying and mapping qualification and has a professional team of 51 people, which can provide international professional technical services.

Under the leadership of Wang Shiqiang, SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. has continued to grow and become a leader in the marine surveying and mapping industry. The core business of the company is mainly divided into two parts: geophysical investigation and underwater navigation, as well as high-precision positioning. Geophysical surveys mainly investigate the underwater terrain undulations, geomorphic obstacles, stratigraphic distribution, and magnetic objects of engineering construction projects such as offshore oil, offshore wind power, and offshore ranches, providing important geospatial data for the planning, development, and management of marine resources; And underwater navigation and high-precision positioning rely on advanced equipment and technology to provide customers with all-weather, real-time dynamic high-precision positioning services.

When it comes to the development of the surveying and mapping industry, Wang Shiqiang said: Although the surveying and mapping industry is niche, it plays a crucial role in engineering construction. With the deepening implementation of the national marine strategy, the demand for marine surveying and mapping is becoming increasingly strong. However, the complexity of the marine environment poses great challenges to surveying and mapping work. Unlike land, the marine environment is invisible and dynamically variable, influenced by various conditions such as wind, waves, currents, and water depth. Therefore, marine surveying requires professional equipment to investigate underwater topography, landforms, and underwater structures, while also requiring surveying operators to have rich experience and skills.

To address these challenges, SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. continuously introduces high-precision and highly reliable measurement equipment to ensure the accuracy of measurement data. At the same time, the company has a professional technical team and R&D team to develop, improve, and optimize surveying and mapping service processes based on on-site work needs, in order to enhance service efficiency and quality. Throughout the entire surveying process, the company has always adhered to a rigorous and pragmatic attitude, strictly controlling every aspect from technical design to pre construction inspection, process inspection, final inspection, as well as quality reports, result acceptance, and other links to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the data.

In addition to technical strength, SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. also focuses on improving service quality. The company always puts customers at the center, responds to customer needs in a timely manner, and provides personalized solutions. During the service process, the company always maintains a pragmatic work attitude, utilizing professional knowledge and work experience to provide customers with high-quality services. After the project is completed, the company will actively collect feedback from customers, continuously optimize service processes, and improve customer satisfaction.

When it comes to his entrepreneurial aspirations, Wang Shiqiang shared that his entrepreneurial journey is closely related to his professional background and industry experience. As an undergraduate student majoring in geodesy, he was assigned to Tianjin after graduation and subsequently formed an inseparable bond with marine surveying and mapping. In 2018, based on the development strategy of building a maritime power in the country, combined with the professional ability and industry background of the team, he resolutely founded SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. Since its establishment, the company has always been people-oriented, focusing on cultivating and introducing high-tech talents from multiple specialties, integrating and innovating talents from various specialties, and making surveying and mapping technology services specialized, refined, and branded.

At the end of the program, when it comes to future plans, Wang Shiqiang stated that as the surveying and mapping industry transitions from high-speed growth to high-quality growth, SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. will adjust its company strategy in a timely manner according to changes in the surveying and mapping market. The company will focus on the national marine strategic stock market and emerging industries, closely follow the development opportunity of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises to jointly build the "the Belt and Road", adjust and optimize the development strategy, cultivate talent team, adhere to the innovation mechanism, and constantly improve the company's comprehensive strength. At the same time, the company will also focus on domestic development and strive to go global, providing high-quality marine surveying and mapping services to global customers.

SOWEIT Geospatial Solutions Co., Ltd. with the concept of precise surveying and first-class service, not only provides global customers with all-weather, real-time and dynamic high-precision positioning services, but also achieves breakthroughs in various acoustic and magnetic combined underwater pipeline/cable plane position and burial depth detection technologies. In the future development, the company will continue to adhere to the original intention, continue to innovate, and provide technical services for the whole process of marine surveying and mapping of "pre survey - positioning - post survey - operation and maintenance testing" of marine engineering construction projects, and contribute more to the development of national marine undertakings and the global marine economy.
