What we do
What civil surveying covers in Shepparton
- Control & site establishment
- Drainage setout
- Kerb, barrier & linemarking setout
- Fill layer pickups & conformance reporting
- GPS machine control setup
- GPS localisations
- GPS machine file creation (Trimble, Topcon, Leica + others)
- Volume surveys (cut/fill, stockpiles)

Machine control that earns its keep
Machine guidance saves time only when the model, the localisation and the checks behind it are correct. We create machine control files from the design, run GPS localisations across Shepparton sites and configure Trimble, Topcon and Leica systems so operators are working to the right surface from the start. Then we verify, comparing surveyed levels against what the machine believes it has trimmed. Catching a bad localisation on day one costs an hour, finding it after a week of grading costs considerably more.
Verified, not assumed, from day one.

Setout, conformance and volumes
Alongside machine control we handle the everyday survey a Shepparton civil job runs on. Control and site establishment come first, then drainage setout, kerb, barrier and linemarking setout straight from the design model. Fill layer pickups are surveyed as each layer is placed and reported against design tolerance, so problems surface while they are still cheap. Volume surveys measure cut, fill and stockpiles for progress claims, and every visit captures more than the immediate task so later outputs rarely need another trip.
Problems found while they are still cheap.

FAQs
Civil Surveying Shepparton surveying questions
The calibration that ties a machine or rover's satellite position to the site's own coordinate system and levels. If it is wrong, everything built from it is wrong by the same amount.
Yes. We survey trimmed surfaces and compare them against the machine's design model, so drift or setup errors are caught early rather than at conformance.
Yes. Kerb, barrier and linemarking are set out from the design model, with marks placed so the crews doing the work can use them directly.
Site visits are guaranteed within 10 days and quotes and queries are answered within two, so the earthworks program is not held up.
