Company Overview

Geodesy Remote Sensing Inc. has been in business since 1987. It has been actively involved in aerial photographic surveys throughout Canada and overseas for the past nine years.

Geodesy's experience in Canada covers all of the Prairie Provinces, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories including the High Arctic islands. With one aircraft system the firm has averaged, in an April to October season, 350 hours of photo work that produces approximately 90 to 120 film rolls of production.

The projects worked on cover virtually every application that survey photo is put to. With an FMC camera Geodesy does many low level, large scale projects for development and engineering projects. The client list therefore includes many engineering and photogrammetry firms in private industry. Much of the work performed is with all three levels of government, including agencies and crown corporations. The company's work with this group of customers includes large- to small-scale projects of all sorts that require the whole range of film types. Geodesy has worked on projects where scales have ranged from 1: 1, 200 to 1: 70, 000.

A majority of its work the last seven years has been for the Alberta Forestry, Lands and Wildlife and the Federal Government I. C. A. S. Geodesy also has experience working for the United States National Science Foundation on the Antarctic Continent.

Though this is still a young company, key individuals in the organization have extensive experience in aviation and aerial survey, both domestic and international. In eight years, 3, 000 hours of survey and over 350 individual projects have been carried out. This work has produced approximately 600 rolls of film and 240, 000 line km of photography.
