Services
Land Surveying
LPD Surveys provides precise cadastral and engineering land surveys for subdivisions, boundary identifications, and urban planning. Our services support residential, commercial, and industrial projects with accurate spatial data. We utilise total stations, RTK GPS, and laser scanning to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
3D Reality Capture
Our 3D reality capture services use terrestrial laser scanning and UAV photogrammetry to create detailed BIM models and digital twins. These solutions aid infrastructure planning, heritage preservation, and construction validation. Sub-centimetre accuracy ensures reliable data for engineering and architectural applications.
UAV Aerial Surveys
We deploy drones for aerial surveys, generating high-resolution topographic maps, stockpile volumetrics, and site progress monitoring. UAV technology enables efficient data collection for mining, agriculture, and large-scale developments. Our pilots hold CASA certifications for safe and compliant operations.
Mining Surveying
LPD Surveys supports mining operations with exploration surveys, pit optimisation, and infrastructure monitoring. Our team uses advanced software like Surpac and Vulcan for resource estimation and haul road design. We ensure compliance with DMIRS tenement requirements and safety protocols.
Land Development
We manage land development projects from feasibility studies to final plan lodgement. Services include subdivision design, drainage surveys, and strata title creation. Our expertise in WA planning regulations streamlines approvals for greenfields estates and urban infill projects.
