Aerial Survey & Photo Control

Thompson Conn, in partnership with Eastcan Geomatics, is able to provide our government clients with a complete aerial survey service. Our team is able to assist clients from the planning stages, defining flight lines and ground control, to the final delivery of structured data in various GIS formats. Together, with our partner companies, we are able to provide aerial photography (digital and film) plus LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data, followed by photogrammetric data collection, ortho-rectified imagery and database development.

​

Our services also include the establishment of ground control targets to be used in aerial triangulation (AT) adjustments. We are able to provide reference stations for the adjustment of airborne GPS values for photographic and LiDAR data collection. Alternatively, we are able to establish photo identifiable ground control points on existing imagery.

​

We have successfully completed community mapping projects for the Province of Newfoundland-Labrador, asset management mapping for the Department of National Defence, First Nations Base Mapping for Natural Resources Canada and asset management mapping for Halifax Regional Water Commission.

Canada Land Surveys

A Canada Lands Surveyor (CLS) must be retained by federal statute for boundary surveys in any National Park of Canada, for surveys conducted on surrendered lands or a reserve as defined in the Indian Act, any lands under water belonging to Her Majesty in right of Canada and any lands of Her Majesty in right of Canada situated in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut.

​

A Nova Scotia Land Surveyor must also hold a commission as a CLS in order to survey boundaries in common with National Parks and Indian Reserves within the Province of Nova Scotia under the provisions of the Canada Lands Surveys Act.

Thompson Conn has carried out surveys adjoining the Cape Breton Highlands National Park, on Indian Reserve No. 21 at Pomquet and Indian Reserve No. 23 at Afton for highway widening and interchange development.

GIS & Mapping

Thompson Conn and Eastcan Geomatics are able to provide our clients with a full array of GIS services, including development of the spatial model, 3D collection of client assets and spatial analysis of the data sets.  Our team includes 2 senior GIS analysts supported by 3 GIS technologists and a variety of GIS and CAD software packages.

​

We are able to provide development and analysis of GIS data with the expertise to collect spatial data from both ground based and aerial surveys, leading to GIS development in ESRI, AutoCAD or MicroStation formats, including client development in the ESRI ArcGIS Server environment, providing clients with the knowledge and ability to best manage their assets.
