Hartley Wintney, UK– Getmapping has teamed up with New Zealand Aerial Mapping (NZAM) in an arrangement which enables both companies to share resources and equipment to increase their flying and aerial survey capabilities. Getmapping has ambitious plans for the UK flying season in 2009 including the completion of its aerial survey of Scotland and a new survey of Wales. Thanks to this tie up with NZAM Getmapping has up to four aircraft at its disposal for UK surveys during the 2009 flying season.
Established in 1936 with associated offices in New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and Australia, New Zealand Aerial Mapping is one of the oldest established aerial survey companies in the world with significant experience in aerial photography and mapping projects, large and small, both in New Zealand and internationally. The company offers a complete range of services from photo acquisition, map production and processing to aviation and engineering support. NZAM is experienced in managing and undertaking large integrated mapping projects.
Flying in the UK like New Zealand is fraught with difficulty because of the weather patterns and lack of clear skies even during the height of the summer flying season. By sharing resources and expertise the two companies can have more productive flying seasons using the best available digital camera technology.
