Topographic Surveys assist in digital terrain modelling for infrastructure project design used for projects such as the Minimbah Third Rail Track Project that is 40 kilometres long and valued at $134 million. This project aims at boosting capacity on the congested section of the Hunter Valley rail network and optimising Hunter Valley coal production and exports.
Dimensional Control Surveys provide integrated location and level networks for construction of infrastructure such as railways, roads and pipelines.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide an active database of the geographic location of assets including underground infrastructure services and structures.
Construction Set Out Surveys of buildings, bridges, utilities and industrial plants include clients such as Newcastle Airport, RAAF and Defence contractors.
Aerial Mapping Control Surveys provide precise location of targets and are used to adjust photographic to ground scale for clients such as BHP, Port Waratah Coal Services (PWCS) and the RAAF.
Environmental Surveys are extensively used for remediation and environmental projects to monitor the water table levels for clients such as Hunter Wetlands, BHP and Pasminco.
Machine Alignment Surveys monitor industrial machinery, equipment and structures for clients that include Tomago Aluminium and OneSteel.
High Precision Surveys are utilising robotic techniques to align, measure and model client components, equipment and structures requiring tolerances of up to 0.05mm horizontal and 0.2mm vertical. The Forgacs Group has used these surveys to align propellers and shafts and PWCS to fabricate structures and equipment. 3D Modelling can be used in design and construction of structures, machinery and components.
Audit Surveys are used to verify the conformance of infrastructure projects with the original project design and include projects such as the Dora Creek Wastewater Pipeline for Hunter Water.
Bathymetric Surveys of the seabed for the construction and positioning of bridges, pipelines and navigation channel excavation. Projects include the Tuggerah Lakes tributaries and BHP Channels.
