Structural timber's carbon impact As the construction industry strives for sustainability, structural timber is emerging as a key material for reducing the carbon footprint of buildings. Timber, once limited to small projects, is now being used in multi-story buildings and wide-span structures. Timber: A renewable, carbon-storing resource Timber is a renewable resource that stores carbon throughout its lifecycle. Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow, and this carbon remai

Unleashing the power of UAV-flown LiDAR in civil engineering LiDAR has been around for a long time, but it was generally high-cost and flown with fixed-wing aircraft. UAV-flown LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is now more accessible to UAV operators, providing a high level of accuracy and speed at a local level. The precision of UAV-flown LiDAR UAV-flown LiDAR systems, equipped on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), provide high-resolution, accurate 3D maps of the terrain. Th

When it comes to emissions, low carbon concrete is becoming commonplace in the New Zealand market. Understanding the key construction and design differences will assist the wider adoption of this in your project. Concrete is everywhere—in our roads, buildings, and infrastructure. But the traditional concrete we've relied on has a significant carbon footprint. Thankfully, innovations are emerging that offer lower emissions alternatives that help us align with maturing stakehol

We are excited to present our top of the range DJI Matrice 350 L2 LiDAR mapping UAV. Capture detailed and highly accurate site maps quickly with this advanced drone.

We're happy to be helping the people affected by all the severe weather on the East Coast in April 2022 We helped survey the site just out of Tokomaru bay - the site has had a recent global stability failure, and is impacting the use of the road. We included a topographic GPS survey and a co-ordinated UAV flight to obtain high definition aerial photographs to overlay and point cloud integrated into the plan. LIDAR data was used for areas that have heavy vegetation cover, and
