Precision forest mensuration for intelligent decisions
Forest mensuration turns field measurements into useful information for management. Through accurate inventories, variables such as growth, volume, condition, and plantation productivity are quantified.
IMF combines field experience, technical methodologies, and applied technology to capture, process, and analyze forest information with traceability and consistency.
The results help optimize harvesting, project resource development, control operations, and support decisions with reliable and timely data.

Our mensuration process
Technical planning
We define objectives, sampling intensity, and measurement unit locations according to the characteristics of the operation.
Field capture
We collect forest variables using specialized equipment and control procedures, ensuring accuracy and correct geographic location.
Processing, analysis, and results
We centralize, validate, and analyze data to deliver clear, actionable reports that help project growth, optimize resources, and support operational decisions.
Reliable information for better forest management
IMF integrates field experience, technical knowledge, and digital tools to deliver results adjusted to the reality of each operation. Our work helps maintain traceability over collected information, improve planning, and reduce uncertainty in decision-making.
Frequently asked questions about forest mensuration
A forest inventory provides variables such as number of trees, diameter, height, volume, growth, health condition, and productivity. The specific scope depends on the objective and characteristics of each operation.
Intensity is determined by considering area, plantation variability, required precision level, and study purpose. During planning, the number and distribution of sampling units are defined.
IMF develops pre-harvest and pre-thinning inventories, young plantation assessments, trial measurements, permanent plots, health assessments, and other field surveys adapted to client needs.
Records are reviewed and validated during capture and processing. Controls are applied to consistency, location, measured variables, and compliance with the procedures defined for each project.
Depending on the service, the client may receive databases, technical reports, variable summaries, volume estimates, growth analysis, and other products required for operational planning and control.
Yes. The methodology, variables, sampling intensity, result format, and analysis level are defined according to each client’s technical and operational needs.
