| Blom CGR, the Italian subsidiary of Blom, has been awarded a NOK 38 million contract by the Italian Ministry of Environment for a new LiDAR project in Italy. The contract is expected to be signed within the next two weeks and the project is scheduled to be completed within the 3rd quarter of 2011. |

The project involves the use of laser scanning, using LiDAR technology, to create a terrain and surface model of an area in Italy totaling 15.650 square kilometres. A data management system will also be implemented. The collected data and model will be used to monitor the environmental impact of environmental crimes. The information will be utilized by the Italian Ministry of Environment, the Italian Ministry of Defense and several local Italian governments.
The project is consistent with the standards of the EU directive INSPIRE (INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe), whose aim is to stimulate the availability of environmental information in Europe. Blom has previously won similar contracts with the Italian Ministry of Environment.
