Cartography

EDIA´s Cartography Centre provides innovative geographical information products and services and works in cartography, topography, geodesy and land registry projects.

The Centre has all the technical and human resources that it needs for this. EDIA is licensed for this type of activity, such as numbering of cartographic information, publication of cartographic data, topography and levelling, aero-triangulation, photogrammetric reconstruction, orthorectification and land registry, so that it can provide outside services in Portugal and abroad.

The Cartography Centre offers the following products:

  • Digital orthophotos in colour on any scale;
  • Vector cartography on any scale;
  • Digital terrain and surface models;
  • Processing of satellite images;
  • Topographic surveys and stakeouts;
  • Geodesic monitoring of landfill dams.

The projects in which the Cartography Centre has been involved include production of the 2007 occupancy and soil use map in mainland Portugal for the Territory Department.

The Centre is currently participating, via a consortium, in a project for land registry services for the municipalities of Loulé, São Brás de Alportel and Tavira for SiNErGIC – the Land Information Use and Management System, for the Territory Department.

EDIA’s Cartography Centre has had ISO 9001:2008 certification from APCER since January 2010.
