Our Story

Five Decades of Aerial Survey Excellence, Now Strengthened by ISGroup

Photomapping Services, is one of Australia’s longest-operating aerial survey firms. For over five decades, we have remained at the forefront of geospatial technology, evolving with advancements in digital aerial imagery while maintaining our commitment to professionalism, accuracy, and value for money.

In 2024, Photomapping became part of ISGroup, a strategic move that enhances the group’s geospatial capabilities with manned aerial survey expertise. As part of ISGroup, we complement Land Surveys, IntelliSpatial, and Utility Mapping, leveraging collective knowledge to deliver precise, data-driven solutions across industries.

Specialising in aerial surveys, Photomapping provides high-resolution imagery, LiDAR data, and 3D topographical mapping across Australia and New Zealand. Our capabilities span low-altitude UAV operations to high-altitude, broadacre capture via rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, ensuring comprehensive coverage of diverse landscapes—from vast coastlines and forests to urban environments and industrial sites.

Using advanced imaging sensors and IntelliSpatial software, we transform raw aerial data into actionable insights, offering seamless data visualisation, GIS integration, and customised mapping solutions. Our qualified surveyors and photogrammetrists provide an end-to-end service, from project planning and data acquisition to image processing and detailed reporting.

Why Aerial Surveys?

Aerial surveys, including LiDAR and high-resolution imagery, empower clients to:

  • Safely track project progress
  • Capture extensive survey data efficiently
  • Generate precise 3D models and topographic maps
  • Create georeferenced, orthorectified imagery for site analysis
  • Support geological assessments, site planning, and compliance reporting

 

With cost-efficient, high-accuracy surveying, our aerial solutions eliminate delays caused by ground interference, providing a single source of truth for critical decision-making.

As a 100% Australian-owned company, Photomapping continues to lead the way in aerial geospatial solutions, now with the added strength of ISGroup’s extensive expertise and technology.
