GeoPDF Key to Mapping Distribution in Corinth

  14/12/2009
With average summer temperatures over 27°C, the risk of forest fires is real and the government of Corinth, Greece, recently selected a consortium of companies to develop a GIS-based risk management system to support their efforts in combating this threat. Within the consortium was Greek GeoPDF reseller; Geospatial Enabling Technologies (GET) who worked with the EMEA distributor Quarry One Eleven to supply Corinth with the TerraGo Technologies’ Publisher software.



The Prefecture of Corinth is an area of nearly 2,300 km2 that forms the gateway between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese peninsula. The government can now create GeoPDF files directly from their GIS and will distribute complex mapping data in a simple to understand and free-to-view file format. GeoPDFs will be sent to other local Government organizations and Emergency Services to provide their staff with vital location information to prevent and where necessary, fight fires.


Aside from the ease of use, another key benefit of using the GeoPDF file format is that all field workers can easily and quickly add comments and other media to the maps and send this priceless information back to the headquarters.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
