Groundwork Plus offers a fast, accurate and cost-effective
aerial and hydrographic survey and mapping service using UAVs
(drones) and remotely-operated hydrographic/ bathymetric
boats. This complements our extensive experience with
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and government and
private databases.
Our in-depth knowledge of the issues surrounding resource
extraction and our unique position as owners/operators of our
aircraft, boat, survey equipment and processing facilities means
we offer considerable benefits in turnaround time, price and
provision of high quality and meaningful information that feeds
directly into your business plan.
