Who We Are

From Aerial Mapping to Full-Spectrum Geospatial Solutions

Advanced Aerial Mapping Services (AAMS) is an international geospatial technology and aerial mapping company headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa.

Established with a strong foundation in manned aerial mapping and surveying, AAMS has progressively expanded its expertise, technology portfolio and operational capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the geospatial industry.

Today, we bring together multidisciplinary expertise, advanced technologies and integrated workflows to deliver end-to-end geospatial solutions.

With experience spanning surveying, data acquisition, geospatial processing and digital technologies, we support government entities, infrastructure developers, engineering consultants and organisations in transforming complex environments into accurate, information-rich digital representations.

Our approach combines technical expertise, innovation and a commitment to data quality, delivering reliable geospatial information that supports better planning, informed decision-making and sustainable development.

Our evolution is driven by one purpose: turning the physical world into meaningful geospatial intelligence.

Services

AAMS combines specialized manned aerial survey aircraft with advanced UAVs to deliver high-accuracy aerial mapping at scale. Equipped with advanced sensors including nadir, oblique, LiDAR, and thermal imaging, we capture geospatial data with centimeter-level precision, ideal for topographic mapping, urban planning, smart cities, volumetric analysis, and corridor surveys. Leveraging GeoAI, our processing pipeline automates feature extraction, classification, and change detection, transforming raw data into actionable insights.

AAMS delivers advanced satellite imagery intelligence and multispectral analysis globally, combining high-resolution optical, multispectral, and SAR data with AI and machine learning. We apply ML/AI for land cover classification, vegetation and water indices, automated change detection, and AI-driven flood modelling to map flood extent and assess impact, even under cloud cover. Integrated with UAV, LiDAR, and ground data, our satellite analytics provide scalable geospatial intelligence for governments, infrastructure, utilities, and environmental projects worldwide.

AAMS combines high-precision photogrammetry, airborne and mobile LiDAR, and 3D mapping in a GeoAI-enhanced GIS workflow to deliver survey-grade spatial intelligence. We produce accurate True Orthos, DSMs, and DTMs, served through advanced GIS platforms for seamless visualization and analysis. Powered by GeoAI, automated feature extraction, semantic classification, and change detection turn these datasets into intelligent 3D layers for infrastructure, urban planning, and digital twins enabling faster decisions and smarter asset management.

AAMS delivers fast, high-accuracy 3D data capture using vehicle-mounted mobile LiDAR systems and real-time reality capture technology. Ideal for urban environments, road and rail corridors, industrial sites, and smart city infrastructure, our mobile mapping solutions support rapid asset documentation, engineering surveys, and digital twin development. With centimeter-level accuracy and AI-assisted processing, we help clients accelerate project delivery and improve decision-making across the asset lifecycle.

AAMS delivers high-precision ground surveys using advanced RTK-GNSS, robotic total stations, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), and SLAM-based handheld systems for accurate geolocation, Ground Control Point (GCP) establishment, and topographic mapping. Our engineering and construction surveys including deformation monitoring, set-out/as-built verification, and infrastructure layout support utilities, transport, and development projects with survey-grade reliability.

Pioneering thermal imagery surveys for invaluable insights in infrastructure, energy, and the environment.

AAMS combines ground-penetrating radar (GPR) with AI-driven data interpretation to locate and map underground utilities, pipelines, and voids with minimal excavation. Our subsurface detection surveys support safe excavation, utility coordination, and infrastructure asset management across urban, industrial, and transport environments. AI-assisted classification and 3D mapping transform raw GPR data into clear, georeferenced utility models, reducing strike risk, avoiding costly delays, and accelerating project planning.

TerraTopo is an established geospatial consulting firm and was founded in 2014 in Canada. Mr. Usman his team at Advanced Aerial Mapping services (AAMS) worked on a 3D city modelling project in the United Arab Emirates. AAMS was contracted to collect 130 post identification survey points to be used for mapping purposes. In addition to conducting the ground survey, AAMS generated an orthophoto at 7.5 cm GSD to be used as the base layer for the 3D city model. AAMS continuous attention to detail and adherence to the project schedule allowed for a superior product appreciated both my TerraTopo and the end client. Terratopo continues to work with AAMS on all sort of geospatial project both in the Middle East and North America.
