We measure all of it.
Not a sample of it.
Four surveys, each one done completely. We build the software they run on, and we will tell you when a simpler method would serve you better.
Four surveys. Nothing general.
Each one replaces something the industry currently estimates.
Tree counting & carbon
Every tree counted, measured and geo-tagged on one walk — not sample plots scaled up to the block. Girth, height and position per stem, and carbon built from measured volume.

Railway tunnel mapping
Long tunnels, end to end, as a single continuous scan — not a series of setups stitched together afterwards. Walked through under live running constraints, with the track in place.

Underground mining — drives & stopes
The void as actually mined, not as it was designed. Stope shapes and drift profiles captured on foot, where GPS does not reach and a static scanner cannot get the sight lines it needs.

OFC trench depth validation
Fibre trench depth measured every metre before backfill, each section passed or failed against the specified depth — with the photograph and the point cloud to prove it.

That is the test before we take something on. If an industry already measures a thing completely, we are not needed — and we will say so.
We do not do boundary, topographic or general survey. There are good firms for that, and we would be the worse choice.
We would rather be the obvious choice for four measurements than a second thought for forty.
We build the software
Metron Canopy, Lode and Align — the applications our own surveys run on. When a result needs to answer something the software cannot yet answer, we change the software.
We publish what we did not measure
A stope volume states how much of the surface actually had returns behind it. A tree count withholds stems too obscured to follow. A section leaves a gap where the scan saw nothing.
A stope, measured completely.
7,950 m³ enclosed — and 96% of the surface had returns behind it. The other 4% is coloured separately rather than folded into the number.
A volume you can check.
Most software hands you a number. A watertight surface has to close, so the reconstruction fills whatever it could not see — usually a brow the scanner never got round.
If that fill is not reported, the volume looks more certain than it is. So we report it: 2,748 m² measured, 116 m² filled, 2,863 m² in total.

Location, area and what the measurement is for. We will come back with scope and cost — or say plainly that this is not the right tool for it.
