time detailed surveys or setting-out using a local grid system.
Volumetric Surveys
We are a specialist in stock pile volume surveys to measure the quantity of materials in the stock piles and
calculating the cut/fill volumes in case of earth work volume calculations. We use a combination of GPS,
Total Station to measure the stockpiles in which the entire surface area is visible. We provide the accurate
measurements of, manufacturing facilities including cement, glass and iron factories. The surveyed data
ensures regulatory compliance and allows our clients to manage their stock and inventory.
As-Built Surveys
As-built surveys are normally carried out in order to compare the position and dimension of a constructed
project compared to its designed dimensions and position. An as built survey is a drawing to scale of all
existing elements in the site and their spatial relationship to the boundary of the property. It is important
to know what you have in order to determine what you can do, and for further development of property.
As-built surveys reduce the costs and downtime associated with construction rework. Our team
systematically provides these services with the highest level of accuracy using high specification survey
equipment and the next generation’s survey technology.

Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT)
As many restrictions on Conventional Radiography has increased in recent times due to Health Hazards
caused by improper usage/Training, the need for Alternative weld inspection techniques such as Phased
Array Ultrasonic Testing has been indispensable. Unlike conventional UT we can attain different range of
angles & combination of Sectorial & Longitudinal waves at different angles to perfectly scan the entire weld
area. The Combination of TOFD & Phased array techniques provide characterization & sizing of flaw
accurately. The Phased array ultrasonic Testing otherwise called PAUT provides us with A, B, C & Sectorial
scan view as a digital record.
Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD)
TOFD employs two longitudinal wave angle beam transducers arranged symmetrically opposite to each
other, straddling the weld or base material to be inspected. While one probe acts as a transmitter of
ultrasonic energy & the other probe receives the ultrasonic energy. Measurement of the Time of Flight of
the diffracted beam enables accurate and reliable flaw detection & sizing, even if the defects are not
oriented to the initial beam direction. TOFD can also be used for detecting irregularly shaped areas of metal
loss during corrosion inspections and is highly sensitive to all weld flaw types.
