Spanish term or phrase: obtención de plantas

Hi all,
I'm translating a Company Incorporation document regarding a topography company and this term is getting the better of me.
Here is the original text and my attempt:

Artículo 2º.- La sociedad tiene por objeto el estudio, preparación y realización de todo tipo de trabajos relacionados con Topografía y Fotogrametría en sus diversas aplicaciones, de obtención de plantas, alzados, secciones de edificios, la ejecución de levantamientos topográficos a partir de fotografías de terrenos, y todas aquellas actividades derivadas o complementarias de las mimas.

Article 2. - The objective of the company is to study, organise and carry out all types of work related to Topography and Photogrammetry for various applications, securing of floors elevations, sections of buildings, the implementation of topographic surveys from photographs of land and all such activities arising from or complementary to them.

I've translated it as securing of floors, but I don't feel this is good enough.

Any help would be great!

Explanation:
NB: "The Company's aim..." is shorter and sweeter IMHO than "objective", which I grew to dislike on a training course years ago.
