Services
Topographical Surveys
Our topographical surveys capture detailed terrain data using advanced equipment, producing 1:500 scale maps for large land parcels. Clients benefit from accurate elevation models and boundary definitions essential for planning applications and infrastructure projects. This service supports developers and local authorities in making informed land-use decisions.
Building Surveys
Measured building surveys generate precise 1:50 scale floor plans, elevations, and sections for residential and commercial properties. Using laser scanning, we document existing structures to aid renovations, extensions, or compliance checks. Our surveys ensure architects and engineers have reliable data to guide construction projects.
Laser Scanning
High-accuracy laser scanning creates 3D point clouds and ortho-images for heritage sites, bridges, and mechanical installations. Deliverables include rendered models and fly-throughs for archaeological analysis or structural monitoring. Clients gain a permanent digital archive for future project phases or conservation work.
360 Photography
Using Matterport and Spheron cameras, we produce interactive 360 virtual tours and asset records. This service supports facilities management, safety training, and construction sequencing by providing immersive site documentation accessible remotely, reducing the need for physical visits.
Engineering Surveys
Specialised engineering surveys monitor structural deformations and utility networks with sub-millimetre precision. Applications include tunnel inspections, cliff stability analysis, and highway mapping. Our remote data capture enhances safety and efficiency for large-scale infrastructure projects requiring repeatable, high-detail measurements.
