Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada, PhotoSat was founded in 1993 to provide "better data for better decisions". PhotoSat has invented a new geophysical processing technology to produce the world's most accurate satellite survey data. We specialize in elevation surveying for civil engineering infrastructure projects, tailings storage, facility surveying, and the planning and design of resource development projects.
PhotoSat is a forward-thinking company, utilizing our own proprietary, cutting edge technology to provide reliable surveying solutions to our clients in the oil, gas and mining industries, to governmental agencies, and to engineering and environmental companies, in order to shorten timelines, reduce risk, and improve accuracy.

Services
PhotoSat offers a range of satellite surveying services that have broad applications in resource development and civil engineering projects. Accurate survey data is essential for all stages of project development, from planning through to operations. Because all our surveys are processed by the same team with the same equipment, we produce fast and consistent results for almost any location in the world.
Since 2007, we have completed more than 1,200 satellite surveying projects around the world. Our elevation surveys are highly accurate. We regularly publish our accuracy studies, which are available at no cost. To date, we have completed dozens of accuracy studies, using different test areas with robust ground controls.
When it comes to resource development and infrastructure projects, accuracy and reliability of survey data is crucial. Since 2007, PhotoSat has completed more than 1,200 elevation surveying projects globally. Professionals from many industries have a pressing need for accurate survey data. Satellite surveying offers a fast, safe and practical way to achieve this.
We use proprietary models to produce highly accurate elevation surveys from inline satellite photo pairs. Through rigorous accuracy testing, we can verify our results. PhotoSat offers a range of survey products for a variety of clients. We offer unique products for operating mines, mining exploration, and many other applications.
Repeat: We can also conduct repeat surveys, up to twice per month. Many operating mines or active oil sands projects use repeat surveys to measure volume changes or monitor tailings facilities. When surveying certain types of terrain, the files can be enormous. PhotoSat offers thinned grid formats, which makes opening and working with these files much easier.
