Land Surveying

SLR offers comprehensive surveying services, leveraging extensive experience across various industries for topographical, bathymetric, and aerial imagery capture. Our surveying services extend to industries such as energy, waste management, planning and development, civil engineering, mining, quarrying and construction.

Overview

Our survey teams utilisecutting-edge technology such as terrestrial laser scanning, drone imagery capture, and remote-operated vehicle (ROV) bathymetric surveys. This combination allows us to deliver high precision and accurate data suitable for a wide range of applications, including quarry and mine design, engineering design, asset inspections, and environmental assessments. By owning and operating our aircraft, survey equipment, and processing software, we offer significant benefits in turnaround time, cost efficiency, and quality of information that seamlessly integrates into our client’s business plan.

Land Surveying Services

  • Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Drone Surveying

    Through the use of our drones, we can offer high-definition aerial photography and videos; stockpile volumetric surveys and reporting; high resolution Digital Surface Models (DSMs); rectified orthophoto maps and plans; as well as contour and site attribute imagery.

  • Terrestrial Scanning

    Our terrestrial scanning capabilities enable comprehensive on-ground solutions using global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), photogrammetry, and laser scanning. We provide invaluable insights through pit wall geotechnical monitoring and deformation analysis, facilitating proactive detection of movements or deviations over time, thus contributing to risk mitigation. This technology allows high-precision data capture, even in restricted areas such as indoor spaces or airspaces where drones cannot operate.

  • Bathymetric Surveying

    Surveys of water bodies such as dams and rivers can be undertaken using our remotely operated survey vessel, to provide a 3D model of the subsurface profile and accurate calculations of the stored water volume.

  • CAD, 3D modelling and Design

    From the collected survey data, we can produce soft and hard copy outputs as well as 3D visualisation plans.

Why SLR?

SLR services major national contracts, catering to clients with specific requirements for site surveys, setting out, void volume calculations, and design.

Our commitment to delivering high-quality, timely, and cost-effective solutions makes us a trusted partner in the surveying industry.

  • Accurate: Through the use of real-time kinematics (RTK), our 3D elevation models offer precision with accuracy levels of 5cm laterally and 8cm vertically.
  • Accessible: Survey data is available in full 3D via our secure online portal at any time. We can also provide data as drawings, filtered point clouds, or can integrate it with Vulcan or Surpac software.
  • Fast: Depending on your needs, the time from capture to delivery can be as short as 1-2 days.
  • Safe: Eliminates the need for ground surveyors in active pit areas, enhancing safety.
  • Cost-effective: A fraction of the cost compared to traditional ground surveys.
