BKS Surveys Limited, a leading supplier of geographic information products and services, has this year introduced a complete Intergraph Z/I Imaging® DMC® Digital Mapping Camera airborne and ground processing system.

BKS, one of a select number of companies in Europe to offer a complete range of data collection, mapping and GIS Services, will now be able to establish a fully digital photogrammetric workflow. With the purchase of the DMC, the company will be able to provide digital acquisition, speed delivery of high-quality imagery and offer enhanced aerial image options – black and white, colour and infrared imagery.

Lynn Neill, BKS Managing Director, said, “The 2008 flying season will mark the beginning of a new era for BKS. This purchase now completes a fully digital workflow at BKS with the most modern technology on the market. Enhanced image quality, accuracy and speed, as well as cost savings from eliminating film processing and scanning, will enable BKS Surveys to keep pace with the needs of our customer base for up-to-date imagery for a growing infrastructure."

Alan Campbell, Production Director adds, “This is an extremely exciting development for BKS. We believe that this investment will reinforce our position as a market leader and support further expansion into the European market. Our capacity for acquiring aerial imagery will be increased by adding a second survey aircraft and the high geometrical resolution and outstanding performance of this camera will enable photo-flights to be undertaken successfully, even under variable weather conditions.”
