Project Management Team
When Kenney Aerial Mapping undertakes a project, the client receives over 40 years of corporate photogrammetric mapping experience and over 300 years of individual experience, just in our top dozen employees. This is only possible with a stable firm with low turnover.
Our reputation is our most valuble asset and everyone in our firm realizes what a fragile thing that can be. Ethical, sound business practice is crucial to the success of any firm. However, we are also highly regarded by our peers in the region and nationally. They know that we work very hard to improve our discipline and to educate our peers and colleagues in the engineering and surveying communities about
photogrammetry.
Truely then, when Kenney Aerial Mapping is hired for a project, we offer more than just professional, accurate mapping at a fair price. We offer our clients the confidence that the project specifications will be understood and that the goals will be met, continuity of service year after year and a commitment to excellence that few can match.
