Expert Data Preparation and Survey Services for Construction Projects

At all stages of a project – from feasibility, through design, development and maintenance – the right data needs to be collected to help you make decisions, but this data can often be complex and time consuming to process and present.

Our Data Prep  team is made up of industry experts who understand what a true earthworks model should contain and can take the finished surface model and break it down to the individual earthworks and subgrade components. This removes operator error from the field decisions, provides you with the assurance correct construction methods have been used and enables the volumetric control of on-site materials.
