Pioneers of geomatics in Peru since 1999

We survey, check and monitor our clients' ground and infrastructure: open pits, tailings dams, transmission lines, roads. Often above 4,500 m a.s.l. or under the rainforest canopy, where access, weather and safety weigh as much as accuracy.

Our sectors

Our business lines

Four lines, from planning to monitoring

The same four lines in every sector, with the activities and deliverables that sector needs.

  1. 01 Survey, Mapping and Modeling (Plan, Design, Build, Operate, Monitor)

  2. 02 Quality Control and Assurance (Plan, Design, Build)

  3. 03 Ground Monitoring and Geotechnical Risk Management (Build, Operate, Monitor)

  4. 04 Digital Solutions and Artificial Intelligence (Operate, Monitor)

01 Survey, Mapping & Modeling

Survey, Mapping and Modeling

We measure the ground and what is built on it: airborne, terrestrial and drone LiDAR, GNSS networks, photogrammetry, bathymetry and as-built BIM models.

02 Quality Control & Assurance

Quality Control and Assurance

We check that what was measured and built matches the design: geodetic control, geometric verification, independent audits and QA/QC to ISO 19157 and ASPRS.

03 Ground & Geotechnical Monitoring

Ground Monitoring and Geotechnical Risk Management

We track slopes, tailings dams and critical structures with geotechnical instruments, GNSS, LiDAR and InSAR, so a movement shows up before it becomes a problem.

04 GEOLABS & AI

Digital Solutions and Artificial Intelligence

We bring what we measure in the field to the screens of the people who run the operation: digital twins, BIM + GIS integration, dashboards and predictive analytics.
