Survey & GIS
85,000 km surveyed. LiDAR, drones and DGPS at nation scale.
DGCA-approved UAV photogrammetry, airborne LiDAR corridor mapping, DGPS control networks and enterprise GIS databases — for highways, railways, urban planning and utility corridors.
Practice Overview
Technical depth. Delivery certainty.
Our survey and GIS practice delivers every type of spatial data capture — from ground-based DGPS control networks and total station detail surveys through DGCA-approved UAV photogrammetry and airborne LiDAR corridor mapping. Survey outputs are directly integrated into AutoCAD Civil 3D, CARD/1 and MX for highway design, and into ESRI ArcGIS and QGIS for urban planning and asset management applications.
We have completed 85,000 km of surveys across 22 states, including a single 8,400 km airborne LiDAR contract for an NHAI highway corridor programme. Our DGCA-licensed drone pilots operate under BVLOS permissions for long linear infrastructure projects, and our GIS team delivers ISO 19115-compliant metadata, full topology validation and data governance documentation as standard with every geodatabase delivery.

Topographical Surveys
Ground-based precision surveys using total stations and GNSS for DPR, design-stage mapping and as-built verification of all infrastructure types.
DGPS
Differential GPS and static GNSS control networks providing centimetre-level geodetic accuracy for project control, corridor surveys and structural monitoring.
Total Station
Electronic total station traverses, detail pick-up surveys and construction set-out for precision as-built records, cross-sections and quantity measurement.
Drone Surveys
DGCA-approved UAV photogrammetry delivering orthophoto, DSM and 3D mesh for rapid corridor mapping, stockpile volumes and construction progress monitoring.
LiDAR Mapping
Airborne and mobile laser scanning producing dense 3D point clouds (10–100 pts/m²) at ±5 cm vertical accuracy for highway DPR, urban modelling and asset surveys.
Utility Mapping
Underground utility location using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction to map pipes and cables and reduce strike risk during construction.
