Our Mission

 


Welcome to the Photogrammetry and Control Unit (P&CU) in The Property Office of the Maine Department of Transportation. Our Mission is to coordinate and provide all of the photogrammetric mapping and geodetic control for any of the Maine Department of Transportation's preliminary engineering projects in a complete, accurate, and timely manner in support of the Maine Department of Transportation Investment Program.

The Photogrammetry Section of P&CU is responsible for all of the QA/QC, indexing, and maintenance of the Department's aerial photography and associated products. This section is also responsible for research and preparation of necessary data to provide aerial photography products and services to the Department; as well as maintaining and administering all contracts that relate to aerial photogrammetry.

The Control Section of P&CU is responsible for monumenting, processing, coordinating, and maintaining all of the geodetic control that is used by the Department. This section maintains a geodetic Control Survey Crew which utilizes GPS to create the coordinated base traverse information for all of the field survey crews. In addition to the Control Survey Crew, this section is additionally responsible for collecting and processing Fathometer work, for the collection of noise data information, and for certain geodetic data research and retrieval for in house and private company requests using GIS tools.
