Terrapoint Canada Purchases Two More ALTM Systems
Written by Optech Incorporated
Wednesday, 28 February 2007
Toronto, February 28, 2007: Optech Incorporated is pleased to announce the sale of two additional ALTM 3100EA systems to Terrapoint Canada/USA Inc. This latest purchase by Terrapoint will bring the total number of Optech ALTM 3100EA systems in their fleet to three, making the Houston-Calgary-Ottawa based firm one of the largest lidar operators in the world, and certainly the largest lidar firm based in the Americas.
“We’re delighted that Terrapoint has chosen to purchase not one, but two additional ALTM 3100EA systems,” says Don Carswell, President of Optech Incorporated. “In the past Terrapoint actually manufactured their own lidar sensors. Having a group so intimately involved in lidar, choose to purchase an ALTM, rather than produce one of their own sensors, is a compliment that any manufacturer would be pleased to receive. With Terrapoint’s purchase of their third ALTM 3100EA, this compliment becomes even more powerful.”
“The positive experience we had in 2006 with our initial ALTM3100EA drove the decision to purchase the additional systems, ” says James Ferguson, President of Terrapoint Canada. “Our vision is to become a “Top 3” firm in the provision of high quality, high value geospatial solutions, and this acquisition brings us closer to that goal. We can now service our growing client base with a current total of eight multi-range and multi-use lidar sensors, as well as allowing us to embark on initiatives such as WestMap Canada - the largest and most ambitious high resolution geo-information data acquisition program in the world.”
