Is your goal to maximise yield? Do you seek to maximise the productivity of your resources?
Or maybe, it's to provide reliable and secure utilities? Do you have a vision for creating a new community? Do you strive to achieve a sustainable outcome?

What makes a difference in surveying?
Using the most modern survey equipment AND measuring only relevant data in the field. 

Waiting weeks or months for survey data, putting people at risk in dangerous road and rail corridors for survey work and having to go back in the field to pick up details missed are all problems of the past...

Mobile surveying and mobile mapping is:

Fast

Accurate

Safe

Technology

Mobile surveying is a quick, safe, cost effective and information-rich way to capture physical information. Mobile surveying technology is ideal for projects with:

• * Heavy traffic settings, such as highways, arterial and city streets, where traditional survey requires costly road closures and exposure to safety risks for field personnel
• * Lineal / corridor characteristics that are relatively expensive to traverse via traditional survey methods
• * Short window of opportunity, e.g. capturing the area of inundation in a flood event

You Get A Great Deal More With Mobile Surveying Technology

• * 360 degree street level / road level / rail level imagery
• * Millions of data points that form a ‘point cloud’ and can be used to generate survey quality plans and databases

So at any time after the data collection run, the information can be revisited to pick up physical features and to look at high quality 360 degree views of the areas captured.

Advantages of Mobile Surveying (Mobile Mapping)

Expedient           Collect current, up-to-date location information

Efficient               Collect data at normal roadway speeds

                              Collect complete information in one pass

                              Eliminate return trips to the field

Safe                      Map from the security of a vehicle

Accurate              Within 20-100 mm

Example applications for Mobile Surveying technology:

FAST City Mapping: Councils, Developers

FAST Roadway Mapping: Roads Authorities, Road Construction Management

FAST Railway Mapping: Rail Asset Owners, Rail Asset Managers, Rail Design and Construction
