Services
Topographical Surveys
Using robotic total stations, GPS, and laser scanners, we create detailed 3D models and maps of land features. This data supports infrastructure projects, planning applications, and environmental assessments. Clients benefit from accurate, format-flexible outputs for informed decision-making.
Measured Building Surveys
Laser scanning captures complex building geometries with minimal disruption. Deliverables include floor plans, elevations, and 3D models for renovations, extensions, or asset management. Our technology ensures precision for operational or heritage structures.
Engineering & Setting Out
We provide precise coordinates for drainage systems, road alignments, and construction plots. This ensures projects adhere to design specifications, reducing rework risks. Clients gain confidence in accurate on-site implementation.
Drainage & Utility Surveys
Using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic tracing, we map subsurface utilities. This prevents damage during excavations and supports infrastructure planning. Clients receive layered data integrating with topographical surveys.
Watercourse & Coastal Surveys
We monitor embankments and underwater features using multi-beam sonar and GPS. Data informs flood risk management and coastal defence projects. Clients rely on repeatable, high-precision measurements for long-term planning.
