Core Services and Capabilities
– Land Surveying and Engineering: Surveying of property boundaries (cadastral surveys), structural and geometric topographic profiles, and as-built surveys to support civil engineering and construction projects.
– Aerial Mapping and Photogrammetry: Use of drones (UAVs) and aircraft to generate rectified orthomosaics, Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), and high-precision contour maps.
– LiDAR Technology and 3D Laser Scanning: Capture of high-density three-dimensional point clouds for modelling complex infrastructure, vegetation, and urban surfaces.
– Underground Utility Mapping: Use of georeferencing combined with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect and map buried pipelines, cables, and underground infrastructure.
– CAD/GIS Data Processing and Conversion: Digitisation of physical plans and conversion of engineering vector files (DWG/DXF) into geographic databases ready for spatial analysis.
Key Industries Served
– Construction and Engineering (AEC): Foundation planning, cut-and-fill volume calculations, and monitoring of structural construction projects.
– Cadastre and Land Management: Legal property boundary demarcation, land tenure regularisation, and registration of easements.
– Infrastructure and Energy: Route design for roads, railways, power transmission lines, and water or gas pipelines.
– Mining and Precision Agriculture: Monitoring of mineral extraction volumes at mining sites and elevation surveys for irrigation channels and watershed management.
Common Pricing Models
– Per Hectare / Area Surveyed: Commonly used for drone-based aerial mapping and agricultural surveys, where pricing scales according to the size of the land area covered.
– Fixed Project Fee (Defined Scope): Ideal for specific topographic surveys, clearly defined legal boundary demarcations, or one-off aerial survey campaigns.
– Daily Field Team Rate (Day Rate): Charges based on the time spent in the field by the technical team and the use of precision surveying equipment, such as total stations and GNSS/RTK receivers.
– Separate Data Processing Costs: Pricing models that separate fieldwork (data collection) from office-based work, including data processing, 3D modelling, and quality control.
