Services
Railway Surveys
Specialist railway survey services covering alignment control, platform setout, and tamping support. Our team delivers complete solutions from initial surveys to final as-constructed reports using Trimble Gedo Vorsys technology. With two decades of rail industry experience, we handle projects ranging from turnout replacements to heavy freight track renewals across Western Australia.
Land Subdivisions
Comprehensive subdivision services including green title, strata, and survey-strata solutions. We guide clients through WAPC applications and legislative requirements for developments from 2-lot residential blocks to high-rise complexes. Our surveyors provide expert advice on boundary definitions and legal compliance throughout the subdivision process in metropolitan and regional Western Australia.
UAV Mapping
Unmanned aerial vehicle mapping for bulk earthworks and feasibility studies. Our CASA-approved operators capture high-resolution imagery and 3D data across large areas including Pilbara mining sites and agricultural regions. This technology enables safe data collection in hazardous locations while providing digital terrain models and contour maps for construction and engineering projects.
Boundary Re-Establishment
Accurate boundary determination by licensed surveyors to prevent encroachments. We physically mark lot boundaries and provide legally signed plans for council submissions, fencing contractors, or neighbour agreements. This service ensures compliance with Western Australian surveying standards for pre-construction works and property disputes.
Laser Scanning
High-accuracy 3D data capture for complex structures and inaccessible areas. Our laser scanning creates detailed point clouds and digital models used in fabrication planning and as-built documentation. This technology supports engineering projects requiring precise spatial data for design validation and construction monitoring across Western Australia.
