Services
Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys create detailed terrain models for development projects. Using advanced GPS and total station technology, we map natural and man-made features with millimetre precision. Clients receive accurate digital elevation models and contour plans essential for construction planning and land management.
Hydrographic Surveys
Specialising in aquatic environments, our hydrographic surveys employ multibeam sonar and echo sounders. We map riverbeds, reservoirs, and coastal areas to support dredging operations and flood prevention projects. Clients benefit from detailed bathymetric charts and underwater infrastructure assessments.
Laser Scanning
High-definition laser scanning captures millions of data points to create precise 3D models. This technology enables efficient as-built documentation and clash detection for retrofit projects. Clients receive comprehensive point cloud datasets compatible with BIM workflows and architectural analysis.
Structural Monitoring
Our structural monitoring systems track dimensional changes in critical infrastructure. Using automated total stations and strain gauges, we measure movement in bridges, dams, and historic buildings. Clients receive real-time data to inform maintenance decisions and ensure structural integrity over time.
Utilities Mapping
Combining electromagnetic detection and ground-penetrating radar, we locate buried services with high accuracy. Our surveys identify cable routes, pipe depths, and drainage networks to prevent utility strikes during excavation. Clients receive layered CAD drawings showing service locations and depths.
