Planimetric, Topographic Mapping

Planimetric Mapping:
Identifies physical features including:

• Roads
• Buildings
• Vegetation

Topographic Mapping:
Collected through break lines and spot elevations. Topographic mapping is a primary source for creating DEMs and DTMs.

History
Williams has 57 years of experience in creating planimetric / topograpic maps.

Equipment
Topographic and planimetric maps are generated utilizing both analytic and softcopy workstations.

Common applications for planimetric mapping

• GIS base maps
• Digital elevation models (DEMs)
• Road design
• Sewer and water utilities layout & design
• Drainage and runoff analysis
• Volume determination of sand, coal, and mines
• Landfill compaction ratios
• Subdivision design
