our awards
Our philosophy is that we work for our clients, and industry awards are recognition of excellence in service provision. The award we value most is the return business clients keep awarding us. Here are some other awards that we also cherish.
AAM was a finalist at the WorkCover NSW SafeWork Awards 2009. Our entry, SiteSeeTM, a spherical imaging system, showcased the benefits available to engineering projects as diverse as industrial survey, digital preservation of cultural heritage sites and road asset management. The ‘virtual tours’ available from this imagery offer ‘360 degree’ visualisations that benefit teams by reducing visits to hazardous or remote sites and provides a central tool for discussion by distributed teams.
The Queensland Spatial Excellence Award for Land Development and Planning was awarded to AAM in September 2009. The submission ‘Smart Tools for Rapid 3D Model Creation’ outlined how AAM developed a new toolkit for the creation and delivery of highly accurate and rapidly generated building models.
AAM was also a finalist in the Resources and Environment category with the project ‘Dam Break Analysis and the Socio-Economic Impact Study for the Kenyir Power Station, Malaysia’. This project consisted of aerial LiDAR capture, the development of core geospatial datasets and the production of an ArcGIS-based Dam Break Information System.
AAM’s IT Specialist, Darko Radiceski, won the 2009 Microsoft Master Codemason competition. The application integrates Virtual EarthTM (now BingTM Maps) and AAM’s Pictometry® imagery complete with measurement functionality to enable users to measure height, distance, area and elevation immediately on the Windows Phone. ‘Points of interest’ searches and GPS integration are also available. The application will feature 3D models and 360 degree spherical video in the future.
AAM has won the 2008 Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Award for Land Titling and Development. The prize winning project, 'Gippsland Precision Subsidence Monitoring', which also won the Victorian Government Award for Spatial Excellence in September 2008, was commissioned by the Victorian Department of Primary Industries to provide scientific evidence to refute or confirm claims of land subsidence along a 100km section of the Victorian coastline. Three precision surveys between 2004 and 2007 showed no significant subsidence had occurred.
The APSEA judges commented that “The project demonstrates the increasing demand for highly accurate measurement within the environmental domain and the levels of accuracy that are able to be achieved. The project involved rigorous and careful design, execution and processing of GPS data that achieved very stringent accuracy specifications required by the client.”
In July 2008, AAM was awarded the Queensland Spatial Excellence Award for Land Development and Planning. The project was titled Hong Kong 3D City Models with LiDAR.
AAM was awarded the 2008 International Best Performer Sales Award at the GeoEye International Reseller Conference in San Diego.
The Bentley Excellence Award in 2007 was awarded to AAM for 'The City of Melbourne True Orthophoto' in the Geospatial 3D Mapping category. This project was also recognised as the best Infrastructure and Construction project performed within the last twelve months by APSEA. Such victories are truly a team effort.
In October 2007, AAM and Blacktown Council were awarded the New South Wales Excellence Award for the project 'Investigations into Unauthorised Landfilling in Blacktown Local Government Area'.
In September 2007 the Victorian Spatial Excellence Awards recognised AAM's 'Wimmera Mallee Pipeline Project' for Mapping and Measurement Excellence.
AAM's excellence was further recognised in 2006 with the APSEA Highly Commended Award for the Gorgon Project in Western Australia. It was noted that our client, Chevron, received expertise from across AAM's broad range of spatial services.
In 2005, AAM won the Asia Pacific Spatial Excellence Award for an ultra-high accuracy survey for an A$1.6 billion bridge/freeway upgrade project.
Our philosophy is that we work for our clients, and industry awards are recognition of that service. The award we value most is the return business clients keep awarding us.
