Planimetric and Topographic Mapping

View fullsize

‍ Planimetric mapping captures the horizontal positions of visible surface features such as roads, buildings, waterways, and utilities using high-resolution orthomosaics and photogrammetric workflows. Our team digitizes and classifies these features into accurate vector datasets that serve as a foundational layers for engineering design and land management. Such data can also be used for GIS applications. Planimetric maps are widely used in municipal planning, transportation corridors, and utility infrastructure projects where precise feature location is critical.

Topographic mapping uses aerial imagery elevation data to produce detailed representations of the earth's surface, generating bare-earth digital terrain models, contour lines, breaklines, and spot elevations compatible with CAD and GIS platforms. These deliverables support floodplain modeling, grading design, hydrological analysis, and site development planning with high vertical accuracy and broad area coverage.

When produced together, planimetric and topographic datasets provide a comprehensive picture of both the horizontal layout and vertical relief of a project area. Aerial imagery supplies the visual context for feature compilation as well as precise elevation data needed for terrain modeling, resulting in a unified geospatial product that reduces field survey time and supports complex engineering and environmental workflows.

Deliverables typically include orthophotos, georeferenced point clouds, DEMs/DTMs, breaklines, contour maps, planimetric feature layers, and analytical reports. Photogrammetric mapping integrates with GIS and CAD workflows, providing spatially accurate, datasets essential to design, compliance, and asset management.
