Sando is a founding sponsor and partner of CTA, (the Fundación Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía). Within this framework, Sando has promoted three research projects:
The Sando Group has initiated in 2011 a new applied research project in the civil construction sector.
Entitled the “data extraction system using airborne and land-based laser sensors for civil construction” (LAS-ROADS), the project aims to take advantage of laser technology to create a topographical tool able to process massive amounts of data collected by sensors.
The project was launched in partnership with two leading firms in the cartographic engineering sector: Stereocarta and Leica Geosystems. Two research groups from the University of Jaen are also participating in the initiative within the Research, Development and Innovation Plan of Andalucia.
