Service 1
Color Aerial Photography
Synergy Mapping captured high-resolution aerial imagery at a scale of 1”=300’, providing a detailed visual representation of the project area. This imagery served as the foundation for subsequent mapping and analysis, offering a clear and accurate depiction of the property layout and its surrounding environment. The aerial photography allowed stakeholders to visualize the site in its entirety, supporting planning and decision-making processes.
Service 2
Aerotriangulation
Aerotriangulation ensured geometric alignment and spatial accuracy across all mapping outputs. This critical process involved aligning multiple images and datasets to create a cohesive and reliable geospatial foundation. By maintaining consistent spatial accuracy, aerotriangulation enabled stakeholders to rely on the data for precise property evaluation and infrastructure planning.
Service 3
Planimetric Mapping
Planimetric mapping provided a comprehensive 2D representation of surface features, including property boundaries, structures, and utilities. These detailed maps were essential for understanding the site’s layout and planning the placement of infrastructure and other development elements. By accurately delineating both natural and man-made features, the planimetric maps supported effective property planning and analysis.
Service 4
High-Resolution Digital Orthophotos
Digital orthophotos with a 0.25’ pixel resolution were created to deliver precise, geo-referenced imagery of the project area. These orthophotos combined the benefits of aerial photography with the spatial accuracy of mapping, allowing for accurate visualization and measurement of surface features. The orthophotos provided a reliable reference for planners and developers, enhancing the overall usability of the geospatial dataset.
