Williams Aerial & Mapping

Williams Aerial and Mapping is a photogrammetric mapping and geospatial data firm in South Bend, Indiana. The company was formed in 1995 to provide photogrammetric services. The site says it offers aerial photography, digital mapping, LiDAR, GIS base maps, and digital orthophotography.

The company's mapping work includes planimetric and topographic mapping. Planimetric mapping shows physical features such as roads, buildings, and vegetation. Topographic mapping uses break lines and spot elevations. These methods support digital elevation models and digital terrain models.

Williams has modified single engine, slow flying, fixed wing aircraft to run its LiDAR sensor. The site says this approach gives the point density needed for transmission line work at a lower cost than helicopters. Its sensors include a Riegl VQ-780i LiDAR system and an UltraCam Falcon M1 camera.

The company's history includes digital orthophotography work from 1997 and county LiDAR projects from 2005. It flew its first mapping project for the Department of Energy in 2009. The site also says the company has delivered city base maps for more than 30 years.

The company is at 4483 Corporate Drive, Building 301, South Bend, Indiana 46628. The phone number is (574) 287-2104. The team includes Rick Kosinski as chief executive officer and Andrew Williams as president. The site also has a contact form for project and custom solution questions.
