Intermap secures major contract for mapping project in Indonesia

Intermap has won a US$20 million contract to map the Indonesian island of Sulawesi this year. The contract is the first phase of the Indonesian national topographic basemap programme to create a national digital basemap as part of the One Map programme, backed by Presidential Decree. Under the One Map programme’s approved technical specifications, the Indonesian government will collect airborne IFSAR-derived elevation data and cloud-free radar imagery for the entire country at resolutions suitable for 1:5,000 scale mapping. This first phase now awarded to Intermap, a global leader in 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, represents 10% of the country’s land area and 10% of the One Map programme. Work on the remaining 90% is expected to be carried out in the subsequent four years.
