GIS mapping and drone surveys

GIS mapping from satellite imagery, drone surveys and aerial orthophotos, conversion of paper maps to digital, and geospatial databases built from our own survey data.

What we produce

  • Drone (UAV) aerial mapping: orthophotos and surface models of sites, corridors and reservoirs.
  • Mapping from satellite imagery for large or remote areas.
  • Map digitising: converting analogue maps and plans to digital GIS layers.
  • GIS databases of land parcels, assets and infrastructure, linked to survey coordinates.
  • Topographic and thematic maps ready for print on our large-format plotter.

National mapping experience

For the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation we revised six of the nation's basic 1:50,000 topographic map sheets in 2008. Our GIS and cartography lead, Akpami Abraham Banya, holds M.Sc. degrees in GIS and Cartography and a postgraduate diploma in Cartography from ITC in the Netherlands.

Questions

GIS & drone mapping: common questions

Do you carry out drone surveys?

Yes. We own a survey drone and use it for aerial mapping, orthophotos and surface models, controlled with our RTK GPS.

Can you convert our paper maps into GIS?

Yes. We digitise analogue maps and plans into GIS layers and build databases that can be updated and queried.
