Services
Railway Surveys
Specialist railway surveying services covering alignment control, tamping support, and as-constructed reporting. Our team delivers complete solutions from initial track surveys to final geometry reports using Trimble Gedo Vorsys systems. With two decades of rail industry experience, we support metro and remote projects including station upgrades, depot expansions, and freight track renewals across Western Australia.
UAV Mapping
Unmanned aerial vehicle mapping for 3D data and bulk earthworks calculations. Our CASA-approved surveyors capture high-resolution imagery and digital terrain models for feasibility studies, progress reporting, and settlement analysis. This technology enables safe, cost-effective surveys of large or hazardous areas, providing accurate point clouds and contour lines for clients in the Pilbara, Wheatbelt, and metropolitan regions.
Land Subdivisions
Comprehensive subdivision services from initial design to final title issuance. Our licensed surveyors handle green title, strata, and survey-strata subdivisions for residential, commercial, and high-rise developments. We guide clients through WAPC applications and regulatory requirements, with extensive experience in 2-lot infill projects, large-scale estates, and complex government land subdivisions across Western Australia.
Laser Scanning
High-accuracy 3D laser scanning for as-built documentation and design planning. We convert scanned data into detailed point clouds and BIM-ready models for infrastructure projects. This technology supports precise fabrication and construction verification, particularly for complex structures and safety-critical environments where traditional methods would be impractical or unsafe.
Underground Mapping
Specialist underground service detection and 3D mapping using electromagnetic and direct measurement techniques. We identify power, water, gas, and communication utilities to AS 5488.2:2022 standards, producing accurate subsurface models for construction planning. Our experience spans residential developments to full railway corridor utility mapping projects across Western Australia.
