Survey Services
Cadastral Survey
Official boundary surveys for land registration, title deed applications, amalgamations and subdivision schemes. Conducted to applicable land authority requirements and prepared for formal submission where required.
Boundary Re-establishment
Recovery, verification and re-establishment of property boundaries using deed plans, survey records, existing monuments and GNSS observations for owners, developers and legal teams.
Topographic Survey
Detailed site mapping for planning, drainage design, earthworks, development feasibility and engineering design. Deliverables can include CAD drawings, contours, point data, GeoTIFFs and GIS-ready files.
Engineering Survey
Precise setting-out, control establishment, as-built surveys and deformation monitoring for roads, bridges, buildings, pipelines, utilities and civil infrastructure projects.
Construction Setting Out
Transfer of design coordinates to site for foundations, columns, road alignments, drainage structures, utilities and industrial installations, with field checks to reduce construction errors.
Route & Corridor Survey
Survey support for roads, power lines, pipelines, fibre routes, water lines and wayleave corridors, including centerline pickup, cross sections, profiles and obstruction mapping.
Subdivision & Land Planning Support
Survey support for land subdivision, beaconing, scheme layout, access road planning and preparation of survey drawings for approval workflows.
GIS Data Collection
Field data collection for asset mapping, utilities inventory, road furniture, environmental monitoring, facilities management and municipal or private geospatial databases.
Hydrographic & Waterbody Survey
Bathymetric and shoreline surveys for dams, reservoirs, river crossings, water intake works and inland water infrastructure, integrating positioning data with depth observations.
Control Network Establishment
Design and observation of project control networks, benchmarks and reference points for engineering projects, monitoring campaigns and long-term site control.
As-Built & Quantity Survey Support
Post-construction pickup, volume checks, stockpile surveys, earthworks verification and documentation of completed works for contractors, consultants and project owners.
Survey Consultancy & QA
Independent review of survey methodology, coordinate systems, field procedures, deliverables and quality assurance workflows for high-value or technically sensitive projects.
