GEOKOSMOS has completed a LiDAR project in Krasnodar Krai (Sochi, the host city of the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, is located in this region). Imeretinskaya lowland and some parts of the extending mountain massif were surveyed by the Company specialists. The project was carried out in the framework of the engineering survey aimed at instruction of Olympic objects in the Sochi region. GEOKOSMOS provided the customer with a wide spectrum of output products: a topographic map (1:1000) of the lowland, a topographic map (1:500) of the mountain territory, an orthophoto (pixel size – 0,09 m), digital terrain and surface models as well as textured terrain models.

“Constructing sport and recreation infrastructure especially at the planning stage requires up-to-date Geospatial data. Modern technologies applied by GEOKSMOS play a pivotal role in this respect as we are able to provide our customers with high quality data within the shortest possible time. We have a smoothly running technology cycle of data processing which allows to meet the quality standards and the output product requirements”, states Roman Podoprikhin, Chief Executive Officer.

The output products provided by GEOKOSMOS will form the basis for a rational planning of the Olympic infrastructure which will take into account a lot of factors with the main ones being unique spectacular location of the place and rare species of flora and fauna of the region.
