Remote Sensing

What We Do

Our Remote Sensing team is passionate about working collaboratively and creatively with you to solve complex remote sensing challenges in the most efficient and cost-effective way. We work with you to define your project requirements (scope, resolution, timelines and budget), then design a program that meets your specific needs.

We understand the investment and time forest
inventory projects take to complete. They are
difficult to get audited and approved, and there
are a limited number of qualified experts with the
right skill sets, affinity and experience to
successfully undertake these projects.

We are acknowledged as an industry leader in forest inventory, from design through to implementation, delivery, and getting provincial regulatory approval.

Our multidisciplinary team of specialists includes some of the most experienced Photo Interpreters, Image Analysts, Project Managers, Forest Analysts, Forest Technicians and GIS Specialists in Canada.

We have the experience and capacity to complete large multi-million hectare vegetation inventory projects to smaller cut, block update or reforestation assessment projects, both on-time and on-budget.

If you require a complete turnkey solution for your inventory needs, including managing the imagery or LiDAR acquisition, data model design, image analysis or photo interpretation completion, final assembly of deliverables, and working with the provincial regulator until audit approval is received, we can help.

Whether you require one of our services or a range of them, you always benefit from the collective expertise and insight of our diverse and passionate team of resource professionals. Our growing list of long-term clients appreciates that we can provide a comprehensive suite of forestry-related services all under one roof.

We pride ourselves on building meaningful, trusting and long-lasting relationships with our clients.

 

If you’re looking for a client-first team that you can trust to solve your
remote sensing needs, then we would love to hear from you.
