SURVEYING

What We Do 


  • All types of construction surveying 
  • Contour and detail surveys 
  • Hydrographic surveying 
  • Aerial photography & surface modelling 
  • Volume surveys and calculations 
  • High-definition scanning 
  • Structural monitoring 
  • Machine guidance system integration 
  • Project & relief surveying 
  • Engineering design QA and drafting 
  • Precise / sub-millimetre levelling 
  • Registered - Boundary surveying 

 

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) / DRONE 

Scope UAV - Image & DEM for Design 



When millimetre accuracy isn’t required, UAVs can be used for surveying both small and large areas, being up to 5 times quicker than conventional surveying techniques. 

UAVs are also one of the safest options when conducting surveys in hazardous areas such as earthworks and construction sites - they avoid the risk of interaction with mobile plant and machinery. 

Applications for the UAV include: 

  • Land Development – feasibility studies, planning, design, advertising 
  • Construction – volume reconciliation, progress mapping, asset identification 
  • Mining – stockpile and void calculations, planning 
  • Agriculture – drainage analysis, planning, livestock monitoring 
  • Environmental – Vegetation mapping and monitoring 
  • Emergency Services – accident scene capture 
  • Outdoor event planning 


LASER SCANNING 

High Definition Scanning enables us to capture massive amounts of information in rapid time. Scanners provide a dense point cloud of data to which a mosaic of still images, automatically taken by the in-built camera, can be overlaid to produce a co-ordinated 3D image. 

Scope Scanner - Heritage Building Preservation 


Scanning is ideal for detail surveys, including: 

  • Building detail - inside & out 
  • Heritage building preservation 
  • Structural deformation monitoring 
  • Dilapidation surveys 
  • Machinery (eg. heavy vehicles) 
  • Pipes 
  • Columns 
  • Processing Plants 
  • Deep excavations 
  • Dangerous slopes 
  • Caves 
  • Surface conformances and clash detection 
  • Irregular surfaces 


RC BOAT - BATHYMETRIC / HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS

Scope can also measure the base of a water body using our remote-controlled survey boat. With this data, the shape of terrain below the surface of the water can be determined and used for such things as: 

  • Determining storage capacities of dams, lakes, voids etc. 
  • Assessment of riverbank erosion 
  • Existing surface surveys (eg. structural design and repair, bank stabilisation) 
  • Conformance of earthworks (riverbank rehabilitation) 
  • Spill levels and locations 


Scope RC Boat - Topography Survey


RC Boat key features:


Depth range: 300mm – 35m

Depth sounder and GPS achieve +/-80mm 3D data

Self-guided option = maximum survey efficiency over large water bodies

Separate sounder - can be mounted on large / manned boats if conditions require

Remote controlled = no personnel on the water

Sturdy Hull Construction = operational in hazardous environments

Battery powered = no fuel spills or noise 

Battery life enables up to 14 hours survey without recharging
