Services
Land Topographical Surveys
We conduct detailed land topographical surveys using robotic total stations and mobile mapping systems. These surveys produce accurate 2D and 3D models for infrastructure planning and design. Our methods ensure minimal disruption while maintaining high precision for large-scale projects.
Mobile Mapping
Our mobile mapping services utilise Leica Pegasus:Two systems mounted on vehicles and boats. This technology captures high-resolution data for bridges, highways, and waterways without requiring traffic management, reducing costs and risks for clients.
Drone Inspections
We deploy drones for above-ground inspections of structures like bridges and railways. This approach eliminates the need for working at height, ensuring safety while delivering precise 3D models and progress assessments for construction projects.
Thermal Analysis
Our thermal analysis surveys use specialised cameras to detect water ingress in tunnels and other structures. This non-invasive method identifies issues without disrupting traffic or requiring closures, providing actionable data for maintenance planning.
Confined Space Surveys
We conduct confined space surveys using laser scanners in environments like service tunnels. Our team follows strict safety protocols to deliver accurate 3D models, ensuring minimal risk while meeting project-specific accuracy requirements.
