Digitising Reality with Precise Geospatial Engineering Data
Fun Fact / What makes us different?
The precise measurements taken by Land Surveyors are critical to every major infrastructure project.

On the Crossrail project Land Surveyors calculations enabled the accurate construction of the tunnels to a few millimetres, making sure they joined up with the Station platforms and avoided the vast network of other tunnels beneath London.
