Production Facilities & Resources

Blom has fantastic capabilities to supply huge amounts of geodata to the market due to man power, technical equipment and modern production centers. A focused effort to acquire cutting edge technologies and continuous improvements of the production facilities requires huge investments, but ensures the highest efficiency and productivity as well as keeping Blom in the forefront of its business areas.

Production centers

Most Blom Group companies have in-house production capacity to both produce smaller projects and to perform final quality assurance of larger projects produced in the Blom Group bulk production centers. Blom has two dedicated production centers in Romania and Indonesia with a total production capacity exceeding 750,000 man hours per year.

The applied production technology is mostly unified across the entire organization. Blom also carefully monitor new developments in technology and has the flexibility to use the most appropriate hard- and software to meet business standards and requirements.

Aircrafts

Blom Group has the largest and most versatile aircraft fleet in Europe and enables Blom to meet all customer needs with respect to accuracy, altitude, resolution, medium and area. Blom's resources include pressurized cabins enabling projects to be undertaken from both high and low altitude. Conventional photography activities use a number of aircraft based throughout Europe including a Learjet, enabling the company to mobilize at short-notice to any location in a minimum time period.

All aircraft are equipped with equipment including survey cameras (digital and analogue), laser-scanners (LiDAR) and hyper-spectral scanners, providing the ability to acquire imagery in both the visible and non-visible parts of the light spectrum.
