Evolution
How our technology evolved
We started with conventional surveying and scanned metric photographs. Since then we have added technology whenever it made the work in the field or in the office better. These are the milestones.
Timeline
From the total station to artificial intelligence
Each stage added a technology without retiring the one before. Today they work together in one geospatial workflow, from the field to the engineering deliverable.

2000
Digital photogrammetry from analog cameras
Conventional topographic surveys and orthophotos. Photogrammetry was already digital, working from color scans of the metric photographs.
Orthophotos Color scanning Conventional surveying -
2005
Survey supervision on large mining projects
Permanent survey crews stationed at the mine: the start of the supervision and quality assurance line that today follows the works from start to finish.

2009
Surveys with GNSS-RTK
Real-time differential satellite positioning changed how much a crew could survey in one shift, starting at operating mines.

2010
First digital aerial camera
Our first digital aerial camera closed the loop: fully digital photogrammetry, with no film and no intermediate scanning.

2011
Digital photogrammetric restitution
We moved our restitution systems from analog to digital, with collaborative digitizing and LCD stereo monitors.

Artificial intelligence in cartography and LiDAR
We brought AI into cartographic editing and LiDAR processing: better point cloud classification and object recognition on imagery.
Assisted classification Object recognition -
2022
Integrated management system implemented
Quality, occupational health and safety, and environment under one management system: non-invasive, responsible operations that can be sustained over time.

2023–2024
TerrainMapper II, drones and bathymetry
We upgraded the airborne LiDAR to TerrainMapper II and added drones and a boat for bathymetric surveys: the same precision, on the water.
TerrainMapper II Drones Survey boat -
2025
New drones and 360° scanner
A 360-degree scanner for 3D modeling and a full renewal of our field equipment: GPS, total stations and accessories.
360° scanner GPS and total stations -
2026
Digital lab and quality assurance
GeoLabs: digital twins, BIM + GIS integration, geospatial dashboards and predictive analysis, built on the same data the flight and the field crews produce.

The result
A track record measured in data
Every technology we added showed up in projects delivered, hectares surveyed and clients who come back.
