We are a modern company offering the best combination of the latest technology with technical expertise and experience.
Boundary Peg Location - for fencing and building
Over time, pegs can become obscured or removed. Sometimes you can measure from adjacent boundaries, scrape away the soil and find them. If not, we use a metal locator to find adjacent secure reference marks from which we accurately replace your boundary pegs.
When fencing or building near a boundary you must protect yourself by first finding out exactly where your boundary is. This will avoid disputes and costly removal of structures.

This enables instant set out of peg positions or gathering field data. If speed and economy are important call us now!To request more information on this service, please use our enquiry form.
Protection of Survey Marks - offsetting
Local Authorities and Contractors are bound by legislation to make certain that existing survey marks are protected or replaced during construction of roading and services.
We provide an efficient service, locating those marks at risk. This is done by studying the relevant plans and locating endangered marks by GPS survey.
Following this we can either confirm their safety or provide a new survey for lodgement with Land Information New Zealand.

Earth Deformation MonitoringWhether you need to monitor the settlement of a new building or monitor the velocity of an earthflow, we have the experience to assist.
- Accurate levelling of building foundations and settlement pins.
- Repetitive total station measurements to structures and embankments can be adjusted by 'least squares' to prove millimetre movement. Our autolock total station speeds up repeat measurements.
- GPS technology enables us to be completely removed from the site, measuring small movements relative to distant reliable control marks.

Bench Mark EstablishmentWorking from existing 'first order' or Council Benchmarks we can install new benchmarks in safe, stable positions and accurately survey their height in terms of the local Datum.

Siltation Monitoring of Stormwater Detention PondsUsing fast, accurate GPS we can survey the bottom siltation levels in remote ponds without the need to set up instruments and measure from the shore. This means that landscaped ponds can be monitored with ease and economy.

Legislation PlansWhen Councils need to acquire land for public utility or conversely dispose of land held for a particular purpose we can assist.
Surveying Services is experienced in this work, presenting top quality computer drawn plans which are ideal for presentation to the public and Land Information New Zealand.

Earthworks and Fill QuantitiesOur modern CAD software allows us to efficiently create Digital Terrain Models over vast areas and calculate quantities to various design surfaces. This, combined with our state-of-the-art GPS and Autolock Total Stations, enables us to provide quick and accurate volumes.
- Land fill quantities
- Quarry and dredging volumes
- Stockpiles

Route SurveysWhen establishing new routes or alignment for services our experience always puts us on site first. From data capture through to obtaining and showing existing services and boundaries we have the skills. Our experience ensures that only the relevant information is shown to the required accuracy.
To request more information on this service, please use our enquiry form.
- Field survey of relevant features - GPS or Autolock Total Station
- Obtaining 'As Built' records from relevant authorities.
- Merging boundary data held by us or using GIS data provided.
- Presentation of CAD files and final top quality plans.
GPS Data CaptureWe have the latest Leica System 530 which enables position fixing within 20mm anywhere - even without a clear 'line of sight' to that point from a survey control point. This latest GPS technology helps us to map large areas. This might be complete detail and contours of a single site, or locating a feature type over a large area such as all the power poles in Tauranga, or the road between Tauranga and Katikati.
GPS is also used for other tasks such as:
- Location of boundaries
- Surveying remote features - coastline, bush, farms
- Control points for aerial photography
- Farm plans - paddock areas
- Stream and river cross sections
- Resource Consents in remote areas
- Height transfer into remote areas for topographical surveys

Encroachment SurveysOur understanding of boundaries and Council rules allows us to carry out surveys to establish compliance with certain rules.
- Buildings over boundaries
- Encroachment into yards and road reserves
- Buildings exceeding height limits
- Structures built over easements
- Marking boundaries for construction of fences

Design Surveys and PlansThe basis for any quality design is an accurate, reliable plan showing the relevant detail. At Surveying Services we take pride in the accuracy and presentation of our work, providing the confidence that a designer needs. We have provided many plans for infrastructure upgrades.
- Rural and urban roading
- New and upgraded water mains
- Stormwater and wastewater mains
- Gas reticulation mains

Inshore Hydrographic and High Water SurveysUsing our GPS systems, we can operate independent of land-based survey control to carry out -
- Shoreline monitoring (required by dredging resource consents)
- Quantity surveys for dredging and wharf/marina construction
- Design and siltation surveys for boat ramps, hydro schemes, stormwater control ponds.

Resource ConsentsCouncils are often required to gain Resource Consent for major projects such as drainage, roading and effluent disposal.
Our resources allow us to produce topographical plans quickly and efficiently. With our GPS equipment we can gather bulk data with ease even in the most remote localities.
