What SINTEGRA does

SINTEGRA is a French chartered-surveyor (Géomètre-Expert) firm registered with the Ordre des Géomètres-Experts and operating as a core subsidiary of GEOFIT Group since January 2022. Founded in 1954 in Grenoble and headquartered in Meylan / Montbonnot-Saint-Martin (Isère), the firm delivers professional geomatics services built around three pillars: aerial data acquisition (LiDAR and photogrammetry), terrestrial topography, and land surveying. SINTEGRA operates France's largest private aerial acquisition fleet — eight aircraft equipped with Riegl VQ-780II-S laser scanners, Vexcel and PhaseOne cameras, and ULM/drone platforms — anchored at a dedicated hangar at the Le Versoud aerodrome, and supports work through a Madagascar delivery subsidiary (SARY-TANY).

Its service portfolio spans seven core competencies (aerial survey, topography, chartered surveying and land administration, 3D modeling and BIM, VRD project management, underground network detection via georadar, and bathymetry) applied across six verticals: infrastructure and transport, energy and distribution networks, environmental and natural-risk studies, architecture and heritage, industry, and regional planning. Customers are anchored in public-sector mapping and infrastructure programs — IGN France (LiDAR HD including Guadeloupe and La Réunion), swisstopo (Switzerland, ~7,691 km² at 2.6 cm vertical accuracy), Portugal's Direção-Geral dos Territórios (~69,000 km²) — supplemented by industrial buyers such as EDF, Alstom, CEA, CNRS, and SNCF Réseau. SINTEGRA monetizes through project-based tenders and direct enterprise contracts, supplemented by GEOFIT Group's OneGeo Suite GIS platform and a co-developed AI point-cloud classifier. Approximately 117 staff work in France and ~110 in Madagascar, and ~€12M of revenue was reported at the time of the 2022 GEOFIT acquisition; the firm has since executed a 2024 rebrand and is simultaneously pursuing ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and 50001 certifications.

Core offering

SINTEGRA provides professional geomatics and surveying services built around seven core service lines: aerial data acquisition via LiDAR and photogrammetry, terrestrial topographic surveys, chartered land surveying (Géomètre-Expert), 3D modeling including BIM, VRD (urban development and roadworks) project management, underground network detection, and bathymetric surveys. Deliverables include classified point clouds, digital terrain and surface models, orthophotoplans, BIM models (LOD1-LOD3), as-built plans, and digital twins of territories, sold to government agencies and industrial clients on a project basis.

Product overview

SINTEGRA is a specialist in topography, photogrammetry, and cartography operating as a unified multi-service geomatics firm. Its offering consists of seven core service lines (Aérien/Aerial, Topographie/Topography, Géomètre-Expert & Foncier/Surveyors & Land, Modélisation 3D/3D Modeling, Maîtrise d'œuvre VRD/VRD Project Management, Détection de réseaux/Network Detection, and Bathymétrie/Bathymetry) organized around three pillars — aerial data acquisition, terrestrial topography, and land surveying — supported by six applied service domains covering Infrastructure & Transport, Energy & Networks, Environmental Studies & Risks, Architecture & Heritage, Industry, and Regional Planning. The firm also leverages the OneGeo Suite GIS platform and AI-powered point cloud classification as technological differentiators. All services operate under the GEOFIT Group parent company, and SINTEGRA maintains the largest private aerial fleet in France (8 aircraft) as its primary technical asset.
