Pathfinder Navigation helped develop and underwrote an inertial survey backpack system with Applanix Corp. starting in 2000. Based on this technology, Pathfinder was formed to utilize this technology to survey in GPS denied areas. Pathfinder has gone on to survey thousands of square miles of under canopy 3D seismic shoots with our POS/LS survey backpacks.
Pathfinder Surveying & Mapping Services is a leader in surveying and mapping services. Both experienced and on the leading edge of technology, Pathfinder Navigation was the first geophysical survey company to use backpack mounted Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) for accuracy and productivity under canopy, and is using the latest in GPS-Glonass receivers, Ground Penetrating Radars and Brush cutting technologies for superior survey results.
Management at Pathfinder had their start in Geophysical surveying back in 1981. Pathfinder was formed in 1999 to develop an Inertial based survey solution with Applanix corp. We also employ the use of survey grade Dual Frequency Trimble GPS RTK units. Large open area programs in areas such as West Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas lend themselves for GPS surveying as opposed to Inertial surveying.
Geophysical programs generate massive amounts of data all of which needs to be databased and easily accessible by the end user. ESRI ArcGIS (ARCView) along with Trimble's GPSeimic are used to handle these large amounts of data. ArcGIS allows us to database all data acquired in one place and access in a multitude of ways.
Pathfinder has a dedicated team that specializes in clearing right-of-way lines, Seismic lines and walking trails for a variety of industries. Stihl brushing saws are used exclusively by our teams to clear walking paths. This method ensures a path is clear of smaller saplings cut at angles (punji sticks) or several inches above the ground which creates a tripping hazard to people walking the lines.
