Services
Geomatics
Our geomatics services deliver precise boundary surveys, topographic assessments, and ALTA/land title surveys using advanced GPS and traditional surveying techniques. We provide critical data for property development, infrastructure projects, and legal documentation. Our team ensures compliance with regional regulations while maintaining sub-centimeter accuracy for engineering and construction applications.
Subsurface Utility Investigation
We employ ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic tools to map underground utilities including gas lines, water mains, and electrical conduits. Our investigations prevent costly damages during excavation by identifying both public and private utility systems. This service supports safe, code-compliant project execution across commercial and industrial sites.
Remote Sensing
Using UAS drones and 3D laser scanning, we capture high-resolution topographic data for site analysis and progress monitoring. Our remote sensing solutions generate detailed orthoimagery and volumetric calculations to support construction management and environmental assessments. This technology enables efficient data collection in challenging terrain.
GIS Mapping
Our GIS services transform spatial data into interactive maps and analytical dashboards for urban planning and infrastructure management. We create customized geodatabases that integrate with client workflows to improve decision-making. This includes utility mapping, market analysis, and emergency response planning applications.
Construction Surveying
We provide construction staking, machine control, and as-built surveys to ensure projects align with design specifications. Our team uses robotic total stations and 3D modeling to guide earthwork, foundation placement, and structural installations. This service guarantees dimensional accuracy throughout the building process.
