Services
Topographical Surveys
We conduct detailed topographical surveys to map site features and elevations. Our GPS/GNSS technology captures accurate terrain data for construction and development projects. This service supports engineers and architects with precise ground-level information for planning and design.
Measured Building Surveys
Our measured building surveys create detailed architectural plans of existing structures. Using laser scanning and traditional methods, we document dimensions and features for renovation or compliance purposes. This service ensures accurate records for property management and redevelopment.
Precise Levelling
We perform precise levelling to determine height differences between ground points. Our equipment establishes benchmarks for construction projects and flood monitoring systems. This service guarantees accurate elevation data for infrastructure and environmental applications.
Setting Out Services
Our setting out services translate design plans into physical markers on-site. We use total stations to position features like roads, buildings, and utilities with millimetre accuracy. This service ensures construction aligns perfectly with approved designs.
Hydrographic Surveys
We conduct hydrographic surveys to map underwater terrain and watercourse features. Our sonar technology captures riverbed and reservoir data for environmental assessments and engineering projects. This service supports flood risk analysis and aquatic infrastructure planning.
