Our company was established in Feb. 2001

Our company was established in Feb. 2001 as a company providing services in the field of geodesy and cartography. Since its start it has been focused on surveying services for both small and large investments. However, in our understanding the provision of services is more than just implementation works and as-built measurements and surveys. Some call this extended range of services as the comprehensive service. For us it is simply the service. Thus, we define our relations to the client and the services which we offer. We strive to accompany our clients at every stage of their investments. We wish to be with them from the stage of concept, through design, project and implementation, up to delivery and acceptance of the operation of premises. Wherever geodesy and cartography can be useful to our clients.

With this approach quite quickly it became clear that the needs of our clients are wider than geodesy, even with cartography taken together, can satisfy. As the investments of our clients are not only, even widely-understood, constructions and buildings. Based on our previous experience we fairly quickly started to meet the needs of our customers in the mining and geological-exploratory industry. Thus, mining surveying for open-pit mining plants became our additional specialisation. Today we offer a full and comprehensive scope of surveying services to our clients. It is very often so that our cooperation in this area begins at the stage of concept and exploration of raw materials, through designs, projects and initiation and ends at the stage of surveying supervision of mining plants being in operation.

Meeting the expectations of our clients does not stand for opening to their needs only. It also means “keeping abreast” with the modern technology. Our motto is “we measure, because … we like it”. In order to make ever day of work enjoyable we need good tools. The tools which are proven, steadfast, reliable, precise and modern. Hence our fascination with modern technologies in our profession. We applied new technologies such as satellite measurements and surveys at the time of establishment of our company. Today this technology is no longer unusual, but the experience gained then gives us a competitive advantage. Our experience and ability to perform all kinds of measurements, not only these which require less equipment or necessarily broad knowledge, make the advantage.

The modern technologies, in our understanding, are not only more and more technologically advanced equipment. It is also openness to other areas which are related and similar. And it is to make the data acquisition and processing even easier, faster, fuller and more objective. While seeking the solutions which would cope with the expectations of our clients, sooner or later photogrammetry has had to be found in our offer. After the initial period of our fascination, today the photogrammetry in our company is a “fully- fledged” data acquisition technology. In this manner our openness to other areas where our clients need accurate and modern-developed spatial data which are often impossible to obtain by other methods.

Photograms which are pictures taken with an appropriate camera in an appropriate manner are the basis of these photogrammetric studies. Not always pictures which are taken from the ground meet our clients’ needs in terms of information. Not always our clients need photograms. Sometimes they need “bird’s eye view” pictures. So aerial photography is another area which we specialise in. Thanks to photogrammetry we have got the equipment and experience to take pictures from the air. We take them both from access platforms, photogrammetric balloons, hired planes… It can be said that we can take them with any device which will lift our operator at an appropriate height. It is not always so that a camera must be accompanied by a camera operator. For example, in our photogrammetric balloon taking pictures is controlled from the ground.

Constantly searching for more efficient measuring techniques, it came naturally that we got interested in the possibilities offered by 3D laser scanning. This is the technology thanks to which at one second, remotely, we make measurements and surveys of the position of hundreds of thousands of points which are surprisingly accurate as for the speed. It works within the areas where time and precision count in inventory works. Non-invasiveness, objectivity and completeness is an additional advantage of this technology. In conjunction with our specialised software it allows for visualisation of scanned objects but also for advanced analyses such as designing in reliably reflected virtual reality with automatic collision detection, quality control of made components and works as well as automated 3D modelling.

This is not only the information acquisition and processing expected by our clients from us. They also need appropriate visualisation. The area has been long dealt with by cartography. With the development of IT, cartography, after the period of numeric cartography, has evolved into the new area of Geographical Information Systems. They are nothing but computer systems storing data relating to the space we live in. Thus by offering these services to our clients we end up the whole process of information acquisition, processing and making it available. If, we add development and preparation of analyses and equip it with collection of even a large number of spatial information, we enter the operational range of modern science and technology called geo-informatics.

We live in the 21st century. Our society is said to be the “information society”. Information has become a special intangible asset, equivalent or sometimes even more valuable than material possessions. We collect, process, gather, analyse the information relating to the space for you and make it available in the format expected by you…

We invite you to cooperation.
WROGEO – we measure, because … we like it

Team

We do our best to appropriately select people to work in our company. We strive to make our team – on one hand â be equipped with knowledge and experience and on the other – be open to modern technologies and solutions. Above all we value people responsible for tasks entrusted to them, ambitious and hard-working. People prepared to work in the job, wishing to acquire new knowledge and experience, the professionals. Some of our staff have their learning days long behind them, have got qualifications and experience. Others have just been acquiring them. They share one thing: they are or want to be geodesic specialists, cartographers, photogrammeters, geo-information specialists… We invest in people with passion.

We ensure that all our employees are not only proficient specialists but also they should understand the needs of our clients and be able to help them. So that clients can be sure that we devote due attention to them. So that they know that anybody who comes to us is worth our efforts, regardless of the value of hisÂ /Â her order and complexity of the task. So that they are sure that we make our best to meet their expectations.

We support the efforts of our staff to acquire new skills, qualifications and permits. We support all who invest in themselves whether through their participation in courses and trainings or through continuation of their education at high schools. So that our staff are best prepared for the tasks commissioned by our clients. So that our company continues to grow with the technological progress which is so important in our profession.

Technology

For many services which we offer the technology of their implementation has been known for years. These are proven and good methods. In our company we make sure that these technologies are used rationally. SoÂ that none of our actions is not accidental. So that everything we do results from the technology implemented in a deliberate manner and having economic rationale.

This does not mean that we can not be creative. The world has been changing and the progress provides us with more and more new opportunities. We curiously observe the emergence of new technologies which we have been trying to implement in our company. So that our clients’ needs can be met better, faster, cheaper. It allows us to improve the quality and accuracy of our services, increase our productivity and reduce implementation costs. So that a client receive the product which he / she ordered with appropriate quality, quickly and at a reasonable price. New technologies also enable to take on tasks which have been considered infeasible hitherto either because of technical capabilities or due to costs.

Being interested in technological progress, first in 2002, we have successfully implemented methods of satellite measurements, which just in 2008 slowly began to deserve the universal recognition of geodesic specialists. Initially, we used to let and lease equipment but since 2006 we have got our own receivers. Today we can not do without them. In 2007, we have implemented short-range photogrammetry and aerial photography which is indirectly associated with it. In turn 2010 stands for 3D laser scanning. What awaits us in the future? Time alone will tell. We have got some ideas but … let us not get ahead of the facts

Equipment

Good quality, steadfast, reliable, precise and modern equipment is the first-rank matter at our work. InÂ conjunction with the staff appropriately prepared to work and the implemented technologies it gives us theÂ possibility of undertaking many, often difficult, tasks. Since the beginning of our company we have made enough efforts so that the measuring and surveying accessories meet these criteria.

Therefore, when purchasing new measuring and surveying instruments we are guided primarily byÂ theÂ reputation of a particular brand. We make purchases from these suppliers only who guarantee the highest quality of service. So that in case of failure and stock-out of our own facilities there is no interruptions inÂ production. This is particularly important in accomplishing geodetic services for investments. We select the best from within the products of particular brands. Therefore, there are no instruments of one manufacturer only. Our total stations, auto levellers, electronic levellers, satellite receivers, plummets or laser scanners have got various labels. Auxiliary accessories and instruments complement our basic measurement tools. We always take care so that even minor components are of adequate quality.

Even the best equipment requires care and maintenance during use. It may seem difficult to reconcile in case of equipment used in the field, often at harsh conditions, be it meteorological or related to theÂ placeÂ ofÂ execution of the works. Therefore, it is subjected to regular testing procedures by our staff and at least once a year it is sent to the authorised service centre for maintenance and testing of metro-logical efficiency.
