Our Technology
A constant evolution in the service of precision
Since our beginnings, more than 26 years ago, every technological advance in the geospatial industry has been brought into our operation: classic surveying first, artificial intelligence today. This is the timeline of that evolution.
Timeline
From the total station to artificial intelligence
Each stage added a technology without retiring the previous one: today they operate together in a single geospatial workflow, from the field to the engineering deliverable.

Digital photogrammetry from analogue cameras
Conventional topographic surveys and orthophotos. Photogrammetry was already digital, working from colour scans of the metric photographs.
Orthophotos Colour scanning Conventional surveying -
2005
Survey supervision on mining megaprojects
Permanent survey crews assigned on site: the beginning of the supervision and quality-assurance line that accompanies the works from end to end today.
