Intermap Awarded Malaysian Flood Mapping Program

Indonesia ILASPP Phase 2 Evaluation Period Extended

Intermap Technologies, a global provider of 3D geospatial products and intelligence solutions, announced an update on Indonesia, Malaysia, insurance and guidance.

Indonesia
The World Bank-funded Indonesian Integrated Land Administration and Spatial Planning Project (ILASPP) has extended the decision date for the next phase in the tendering by two weeks to allow for further review and coordination. The extension reflects the decision committee’s mandate for a thorough selection process.

“National geospatial data infrastructure provides critical insight for multiple departments and use cases that promote sovereignty and economic growth. For this reason, it is appropriate and important that decision makers in Indonesia conduct thorough planning and assessments with all stakeholders and perform the highest level of duty of care. We are informed and believe the program remains on track although it’s timing has now extended into 2026 with no other changes to the program’s size or scope,” said Patrick A. Blott, Intermap Chairman and CEO.

Malaysia
In Malaysia, Intermap has been awarded a project to supply high‑resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and related services to the government for the State of Sabah as part of the National Flood Forecasting and Warning Program. The project is implemented by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) under the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA).
