Our Main Areas We Work In

Aquaculture

La Tene Maps invented the modern Aquaculture Map. These show the diversity of aquaculture activity in the area covered by the map by a set of specifically designed symbols to differentiate the species and type of activity carried out. Thus salmon sites are divided into hatcheries, smolt units and marine cages. There is even a special symbol for pump ashore systems. The same applies generally for shellfish e.g. oysters have an additional differentiation between intensively reared oysters (trestles and bags) as opposed to extensive aquaculture (several orders or a managed fishery).

As the industry is now very mature we have only being keeping Britain and Ireland up to date with printed maps. However we maintain databases on Europe and have the capability to produce revised maps fairly promptly.

These maps are currently available as printed maps, digital prints or as a pdf file. La Tene Maps has also produced an extensive range of educational material on Aquaculture.

Printed aquaculture maps published by Latene Maps are available free to producing finfish and shellfish farmers in the area covered by the particular map. The maps are also distributed free at various conferences and exhibitions. Printed, Digital Print and pdf files are available for purchase by all interested persons.

Electricity Generation & Transmission Maps incl. Renewable Energy

La Tene Maps has been producing Electricity Generation and Transmission Maps for many years. These maps generally show the electricity transmission system and sometimes the electricity distribution system together with the generators attached to it. These generally include both traditional fossil fuel generators as well as all renewable energy installations. Substations are generally shown and named. A series of maps is available covering Ireland, Britain, Portugal and Spain. The maps on Britain and Ireland have the distributions systems shown down to the 33kV and 38kV levels respectively.

VIEW MAPS

Please also see the section on Renewable Energy installations as all the maps there have the Electricity Transmission Systems in the background. Some of he maps in the other renewable energy sectors may have maps which show the Electricity Transmission Grids in the background.

Energy Storage Maps

Energy Storage is becoming increasingly important as an adjunct to renewable energy projects due to constraints on exporting electricity to the grid at times, as a grid balancing method and a way of generating maximum return from the sale of electricity.

Energy Storage has been around for a long time in the form of Pumped Hydro projects. More recently there has been the development of Compressed Air Storage and Battery Storage. There are are many different types of battery currently in development or at a research stage

We currently (June 2017) have two published maps on Energy Storage and a third one planned. These are the British Energy Storage Projects Map, the World Flow Battery Projects map and a map on European Energy Storage Projects is currently under Development.

These maps are currently available as printed maps, digital prints or as a pdf file

Wind Farming

The maps in this section deal specifically with wind energy installations, projects and licences.. Apart from the maps listed below which deal specifically with wind farming all of our Electricity Generation and Transmission maps (incl. renewable energy) will have the wind farms on them as will the maps in Renewable Energy Installations section. The maps generally show all built wind farms by location symbol, attached to the symbol are the farm name, generating capacity and operator. Some maps may show the number of turbines for the wind farm. Most maps also show the sites that are under construction or are planned (fully consented). The company has an extensive worldwide database on wind farms which contain a lot more information than we can show on a map. Extracts from this database are available for purchase – see section on databases on the website.

Other maps in other sections of the website with wind farm content include the following:
– Electricity Generation and Transmission (including renewable energy)
– Renewable Energy Installation maps

Online Maps

We are relatively new to the production of online interactive maps. We have a couple of samples available on the website. This area will continue to be developed over the course of 2015. Click here to see our online interactive maps.

 

We publish a range of maps, posters, directories, and other documents for ourselves and client companies. The company has over 25 years experience in the design, typesetting, layout and printing of publications including corporate brochures, reports, annual reports, posters and maps. A concept to final printed product service is available. The company has a complete suite of desktop publishing and ancillary software and can handle any job in-house. Only actual printing is contracted out.
Many of our maps are published in conjunction with an association or corporate body. Usually the associations get enough maps to satisfy their needs. They distribute the maps to their members, at exhibitions or use them for lobbying purposes. La Tene Maps distribute the maps by attending various conferences and exhibitions. Distribution is usually from the stands or via delegate bags or on occasion by client companies from their stands. Whilst a map may be launched at one conference we would have it available at other relevant conferences we attend. We mail out if we have no other effective way of reaching the target audiences.
Most of our maps are given away free at conferences and exhibitions. Map sponsorship by way of advertising pays the production and distribution costs. Advertising rates are keenly priced and a range of advertisement sizes allows both small and large companies participate on our maps. For further information on maps currently open for sponsorship please click here.
