We survey, map and design the ground India builds on.

What we do

We collect accurate data about the ground and the assets on it, and turn it into drawings, GIS layers and reports that engineers and owners can use. We survey, map and design for infrastructure projects; we do not construct them.

• Drone and DGPS topographic surveys for highways, roads, railways, canals and industrial sites
• Engineering Scale Plans, yard plans and DPR survey inputs for railway and road projects
• LiDAR surveys and classified point clouds, including terrain under vegetation
• Photogrammetry: orthomosaics, terrain and surface models, contours and volumes
• Drone thermal inspection of solar PV plants and electrical assets
• Transmission line route surveys and substation site surveys
• Water resources surveys and bathymetry for canals, rivers and reservoirs
• GIS mapping and data processing, including remote processing for clients outside India
• Aerial videography and monthly progress videos for projects

How a project runs

1. Scope: we agree the area or corridor, the accuracy needed, the coordinate system and the deliverables.
2. Plan: flight plans, ground control layout and the permissions the site needs under India's drone rules.
3. Capture: our pilots fly the site while surveyors measure ground control with DGPS.
4. Process: the GIS team builds the orthomosaic, terrain models and point clouds and checks accuracy against independent checkpoints.
5. Deliver: drawings, GIS layers and reports in the formats your team uses, with an accuracy report.
