creating vision from all angles
Unearth the full potential of your project with our expert data capture and analysis, we use the latest geospatial technology to ensure we are providing our clients with the best and most comprehensive data possible.
Our services include:
-
At Backcountry Geospatial Solutions, we offer comprehensive civil construction, earthworks, and engineering surveying services designed to support your projects from inception to completion. We combine industry-leading technology and years of experience to deliver accurate, reliable, and efficient surveys that guide every phase of your project. We carry out detailed As-Built Surveys to document the final as-constructed conditions of your site, ensuring your project meets all design specifications and regulatory requirements. Whether you're working on infrastructure, residential developments, roading or large-scale earthworks, trust us to provide the accurate data and insights needed for smooth, successful project execution.
-
A topographical survey is the crucial first step in almost any development project. As the cornerstone of all future design and construction, it supplies critical information for planning subdivision boundaries, drainage systems (both waste and stormwater), utilities (power, water, telephone), roads, driveways, buildings, and nearly every other aspect of the project. It ensures that all elements are accurately designed from the beginning, laying the groundwork for successful development. With the use of the latest equipment and software, we ensure that all data is captured thoroughly and processed precisely to produce accurate information for your project.
-
Knowing the location of your boundary is critical for any project, whether it be installing a new boundary fence, selling your property to planning a subdivision. We ensure that your property lines are accurately established and clearly defined. We provide thorough reports and precise measurements that help you make informed decisions, avoid potential conflicts, and move forward with confidence. Trust us to handle your boundary redefinition needs with professionalism and accuracy, ensuring a solid foundation for your project.
-
We offer cutting-edge 3D Laser Scanning Services to capture highly accurate, detailed digital representations of your site or structure. Using advanced laser scanning technology, we create precise 3D models that provide a clear, comprehensive view of your project area, from topography to facilities, plant and equipment. Whether you're working on a complex construction project, heritage building preservation, pipe routes or large-scale infrastructure, our 3D scanning services save time, reduce errors, and provide a solid foundation for design and planning.
-
With experience in assisting operators using Machine technology throughout New Zealand on various construction projects, thus enabling operators to work with real-time data and automated guidance. This ensures higher accuracy, faster execution, and reduced material waste, helping you stay on schedule and within budget. Whether you're working on road construction, land development, or large-scale earthworks, our machine control solutions maximise productivity and reduce human error.
-
We provide cutting-edge deformation monitoring solutions tailored to ensure the safety, stability, and longevity of your infrastructure. Using advanced technologies like GNSS, Total Stations,3D Laser scanning, and drone-based photogrammetry, we track and analyse ground and structural movements with precision. We can help identify potential risks in real time, offering you actionable insights to make informed decisions. Whether you're managing construction projects, monitoring critical infrastructure, or addressing environmental concerns, we deliver reliable data and comprehensive reports to ensure your structures remain secure, stable, and compliant with industry standards.
-
Using the latest equipment available, we provide advanced UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and drone services tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries across New Zealand, including surveying, environmental monitoring, farm mapping, compliance checks, and progress monitoring. Our drones capture high-resolution aerial data that ensures fast, accurate, and cost-effective results for complex projects, giving you a competitive edge with real-time insights.
Using drones, we monitor environmental changes, assess vegetation health, track water bodies, and provide data for sustainable land management practices.
Surveying & Mapping
From topographical surveys to boundary mapping, our drones create detailed and accurate maps for land surveys, construction sites, and large-scale developments. Reduce time, costs, and improve data accuracy.
Quarry & Mining Volume Measurement
Accurately calculate material volumes, track stockpile inventories, and monitor extraction progress. Our volumetric analysis provides precise measurements for efficient resource management and operational planning.
Compliance & Regulatory Monitoring
Ensure compliance with local regulations and industry standards by providing aerial documentation of land use, environmental impact assessments, and safety checks.
Progress Monitoring & Site Inspections
Track construction and mining progress with real-time aerial footage and detailed imagery. Our drones allow for frequent, safe, and comprehensive site inspections, ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget.
