METRUM | IN THE NUMBERS
METRUM | MANAGEMENT
METRUM | history
Experience, knowledge, wisdom are the pillars of METRUM’s values. But at the same time, by investing time in young people, educating them, putting them into practice, we are always able to be innovative and be one step ahead of the times in providing solutions. We have created part of today’s geospatial information environment in Latvia, introducing new methods and technologies that are adopted by both our customers and competitors. METRUM was created with the aim of providing qualitative services and innovative solutions in surveying and territory planning in 2005, bringing together experienced and professional surveying and territory planning specialists in the company.
Since the first year of operation, METRUM services are provided throughout the territory of Latvia by a wide network of branches, which makes METRUM services and consultations more accessible to customers. Already in the first year of operation, METRUM becomes the market leader among private surveying companies, serving 22% of the surveying and territory planning market.Continuing rapid technological development and an innovative approach to providing services, at the end of 2006 “Metrum” SIA purchased a specialized aircraft for aerial photography and measurements from the air, as well as an aerial photogrammetry camera Leica ADS40 and an aerial laser scanner ALS50.
Aerial photogrammetry and laser scanning services are offered on the market starting from the 2007 flight season, carrying out projects for the Latvian sea coast, forest areas and the capital Riga. In 2007, the turnover of SIA “Metrum” reached EUR 6,314 million.
The company’s specialists independently develop new innovative products and services obtained using laser scanning and aerial photography data, including: creation of an airport air obstacle map, assessment of the volume of mineral extraction for quarry monitoring, creation of 3D and terrain models of several cities, development of orthophoto maps. As the first LIDAR, AEROFOTO large-format technology implementers in Latvia, we were also the first to use this product in the provision of services in the surveying industry, to use an unmanned aerial vehicle, which was built to METRUM’s order and equipped with a high-resolution fore camera. Currently, it has already become a mass product and is already used by many surveying companies, but the honor of the process and technology innovators and implementers belongs to METRUM.
METRUM was also the first to introduce Laser Scanning multi-point technology for building surveying. We are even one of the first to extract data in the field of surveying, adapting it to BIM needs.Currently, a lot of investment and research has been done for the generation of airspace data, where the greatest emphasis is placed on safety and traceability, data reliability and safety. Everything should be “transparent” when all involved and controlling organizations are able to verify the security of the data and its veracity. METRUM was one of the first in the world to prepare such data for airport obstacle mapping, and according to METRUM’s data collection methodology and the technology approved in Latvia, the airports and airports of Kazakhstan were measured, as well as some of the airports and airports of Lithuania and Armenia.
METRUM creates technology and offers solutions that are convenient and adaptable to the needs of any size. Starting from the needs of a small gardener, ending with a million-hectare land management company.
