Services
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning services capture precise spatial data for complex environments. Using high-definition LiDAR systems mounted on UAVs or mobile platforms, we create detailed digital models of difficult-to-access areas. This technology enables accurate volume calculations, clash detection, and as-built documentation for infrastructure and mining projects.
Underground Utility Location
We specialize in identifying and mapping buried utilities using advanced detection equipment. Our certified technicians provide precise location data for underground services during project design phases. This prevents costly construction conflicts and ensures compliance with safety regulations for utility clearance projects.
GNSS Surveys
Our GNSS surveying services utilize real-time kinematic and static positioning systems for high-accuracy geospatial data. We implement VRS networks for construction staking, boundary determination, and topographic mapping. This technology supports efficient data collection across large project areas with centimeter-level precision.
UAV LiDAR Mapping
We deploy UAV-mounted LiDAR systems for rapid data collection over extensive or challenging terrain. This mobile mapping solution produces accurate digital elevation models for infrastructure planning and environmental assessments. Our services include data processing and deliverables tailored to engineering and mining applications.
Training Services
Our certified Carlson trainer provides customized software instruction for surveying and engineering professionals. Training programs cover CAD development, civil engineering modules, and mining applications. We deliver on-site instruction tailored to organizational needs and industry-specific workflows.
