Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability in Diverse Environments

Key Challenges Facing the Land Surveying Industry

Maintaining precise measurements and reliable data across varying landscapes and challenging conditions remains a significant hurdle. Inaccurate data can lead to costly errors, disputes, and delays in critical projects.

Efficient Data Management and Analysis

Survey projects generate vast amounts of complex data. It is essential for success to manage, analyze, and interpret this data quickly and efficiently to meet project deadlines.

Integrating Advanced Technology into Traditional Workflows

The survey industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation, with the emergence of high-resolution satellite imagery, LiDAR data, 3D scanning, UAVs (drones), and sophisticated data management systems. Integrating these cutting-edge tools into established workflows can be complex, requiring a strategic approach to training, adoption, and process optimization.

Cadastral Mapping Altalis' precise cadastral mapping, aligned with Alberta Land Titles, ensures accurate property boundary determination and legal descriptions. This streamlines boundary surveys, supports property analysis, and ensures regulatory compliance, minimizing the risk of errors and disputes.

Title Mapping Our daily updated title mapping provides surveyors with the most current property boundaries and legal information, enabling faster, more informed decisions regarding boundary determinations and land use planning.

LiDAR 7.5 DEM Altalis' high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) provide detailed terrain data for accurate topographical mapping and analysis. This enables engineers to assess terrain characteristics, evaluate slope stability, and analyze environmental impacts, leading to optimized site planning and risk mitigation in infrastructure projects.

Base Features Includes features such as hydrography and transportation networks, used for comprehensive land use projects.
