We produce digital twins - virtual representations of physical structures and landscapes - through the photogrammetry process, stitching multiple georeferenced images from different angles. These models are accessible online at any time, serving as interactive references for the site and enabling tagging and commenting for all stakeholders.

Surface Modelling

Surface modeling refers to the process of representing the Earth's surface or any other terrain digitally. Using surface modeling techniques such as digital elevation models (DEMs), triangulated irregular networks (TINs), or raster surfaces, we approximate the earth's surface, as well as natural and man-made features such as terrain and structures.

Topographic Surveys

Derived from LiDAR data, photogrammetry or GNSS receivers, we can measure and document the natural and man-made features of land and elevations. Our surveys use high-accuracy GPS and total station technology to capture detailed topographic information, providing the essential data needed for construction planning, site development, and civil engineering.

Contour Maps

Contour maps visually represent elevation and land shape through lines connecting points of equal elevation. Surveyors gather elevation data, which is then interpolated to estimate elevations between points. This offers insights into terrain relief for applications such as land use planning and environmental assessment.
