Our Services
Engineering Surveys
This survey is needed for accurate budgeting and designing the lifespan of construction. It also plays a crucial role in future budgeting considerations for repairs and replacements. We meticulously analyse existing levels and features on a proposed construction site to help engineers adapt their designs to the environmental context to ensure optimal project outcomes.
Topographical Surveys
We carry out topo surveys during the planning and feasibility study phase of any Council infrastructure project. This detailed survey provides essential data and 3D models of the terrain such as rivers, streams, wetlands, and existing infrastructure like roads and pipelines to facilitate accurate planning. We use high quality drones with advanced sensors to carry out drone land surveys for mapping the topography of the land.
Monitoring Surveys
Living earth and subpar construction techniques can cause buildings and infrastructure to gradually shift. Our monitoring surveys document the rate of change, allowing for precise assessments of future remedial work. This ensures the ongoing safety and usability of constructions, addressing budget concerns for Upper Hutt council.
Subdivision Surveys
We specialise in residential and rural subdivisions, handling council submissions, boundary definitions, scheme plans, and compliance with Wellington region planning laws.
