Cartographic symbology for a database of an oil company (2016)
At the request of The Sanborn Map Company Inc., the ICGC developed the cartographic symbology of all the operational areas of an oil company. For this project, all the geoinformation stored in the database of the oil company was analyzed to design a quality cartography. Subsequently, the symbology and its implementation in GIS software was designed. The symbology was designed for different scales and specific tools were developed to facilitate the work of the technicians and improve the production performance. It is worth highlighting the complexity of the design of the symbolism due to the hundred elements present in an oil operational area.

Updating of the topographic base of Andorra (2013)
Starting from the photogrammetric flight over Andorra (2012), to produce the orthophoto of this country, the ICC updated its topographic base at a scale of 1: 5,000. This process, in addition, will allow the future generalization to topographic cartographies of smaller scales. The specifications of this product were adapted to the Andorran geographical reality.

Geographic document management system of the Médina of Tunis (2003-2005)
The project aim is to support the preservation of the architectural and cultural heritage of the historic center of the city of Tunis. The initiatives established in the program are: computerization of the cartography of the area to be protected and managed, through the incorporation of a geographic information system; computerization of the study office, through the provision of suitable computer equipment; computerization of the topographic archive of the association, through the introduction of a cartographic document management system; training of the ASM's staff in the use of computer equipment and applications, and deployment of a pilot project to validate the correct operation of the products developed.

Cartographic database of Andorra 1:5 000 (2003-2005)
The aim of the project was to make the topographic map at 1:5,000 scale 3D of Andorra and surrounding areas, with a coverage of 64,750 ha, the orthophoto in colour at the same scale, with coverage of 78,750 ha, and the orthophoto in infrared colour with coverage of 64,750 ha. The project includes to make, with double camera, the flights in colour and in infrared colour at 1:20,000 scale, the topographic support, the scanning and the aerial triangulation of the flights, the photogrammetric stereoplotting and the edition of the topographic map and the generation of the two orthophoto coverage.

Urban cartography of Buenos Aires 1:500 (1996-1997)
The project consisted in the digital photogrammetric plotting, performed by the ICC, of 4,364 hectares of the city of Buenos Aires at 1:500 scale. The plotting was completed on the basis of a photogrammetric flight at 1:3,500 scale.

Land registry of Tierra del Fuego (1995-1996)
The aim of the project was to offer support in the execution of the urban and rustic land survey of the Argentinian province of Tierra del Fuego. Regarding the rustic survey, the foundation for the work was a mosaic of SPOT multispectral images. These images were captured in the course of two southern summers, but even so, the cloud cover was very high. Once the images were confirmed and orientated, a mosaic was made in which it was attempted to remove the clouds, producing a continuous virtual image. To complement the land registry, a land use interpretation of the province was completed, to be integrated with the other information extracted during the execution of the project.
