Challenger’s mapping group provides a complete range of mapping
services to clients throughout Canada to the oil and gas sector,
the construction industry and municipal governments. Challenger also
maintains a large database of mapping for large areas of western
Canada and distributes a number of maps resource development maps
covering Northern Canada.
- Obtain aerial photography, black and white, true color and
IR.
- Aerial Triangulation and Least Squares Adjustments
- Digital Mapping which includes digital terrain model extraction(DTM),
contouring and planimetric capture using soft copy systems
for GIS.
- Digital Orthophoto production and mosaicing.
- Airborne GPS processing
- Project planning and consulting.
Combining
orthophoto and digital elevation models results in a terrain
model that can be used to visualize conditions on the
ground and analyze routing and site selection options. In addition,
potential environmental impacts of proposed developments may
be analyzed from 3D terrain models.
Using a 3D terrain model to familiarize project teams with a
proposed development location will ensure all team members are
aware of key siting opportunities and constraints. It has been
demonstrated that use of 3D terrain models will reduce the amount
of field scouting required.
Areas where these services are provided include; Agriculture,
Mining, Oil and Gas, Forestry, First Nations, Utilities, Landfills,
Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments, Pipelines, Transportation,
Environment.
Challenger has access to a number of spatial databases containing
