Leakage Detection and Pressure Logging
Leakage detection is a service offered to clients who are experiencing huge water
bills as a result of unknown water leakages, usually on buried pipe. This service is
also offered to utility companies like the Department of Water Affairs and The
Water Utilities Corporation to enable them to manage their water resources well.
This is done using the Radcom Soundsens Kit for detecting leaks.
As an addition to this, Pressure loggers are used to measure the flow and pressure of
water in pipelines. This has been done successfully to aid the modeling and
designing of new water distribution networks.

Surface Detection GIS Development
This is a structured computer frame work for the acquisition, storage, retrieval, analysis, modeling and display of data and information with a spatial connection. It provides tools to help Engineers, Safety and Health Environmentalists, Geologists, Utility Companies, Surveyors, Financial Administrators, Housing Officers and General Administrators integrate a variety of data sources and types, maintain and manage inventories, visualize data and related information using dynamic maps, make informed decisions about resource management and perform modeling analysis, enhancing efficiency and enterprise communication, that is between companies and residents, the media and at times between state emergencyagencies.

Sub Surface Detection
We realize the needs of clients are increasing and demanding. Because of lack of complete spatial information,
companies always find themselves in information hurdles: looking for maps, drawings, slope data or general
topography which is difficult to find. We also understand that the pressure on companies emanating from the
tightened government statutory requirements is also growing. What more on the need to be in tandem with the
technological developments in the surveying industry. It is with such an understanding that we resolved to use
surveying strategies second to none in the country. The strategies are developed in line with international standards to
guide the field surveyors in the capture of data.

Geophysical Mapping
We utilize the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology to investigate and
map sub-surface features and objects. This is non-destructive radar technology,
which is safe, fast and accurate and it is used to assess or investigate the
location, state and size of underground services or features.
Where is it applicable?
In Engineering, Mapping, Mining, Geology, Archaeology and all industries and disciplines that investigate buried features and objects. Examples of these are:
STRUCTURAL INSPECTION: to locate reinforcement bars, conduits, voids and measure slab thickness and other non-conductive materials
PAVEMENTS: to locate voids and other defects beneath any pavement
Obtaining and depicting comprehensive subsurface utility data for planning, design, utility coordination and construction purposes. The technology also goes a long way in saving public and corporate money by reducing: construction costs and down time claims, utility damage, public disruption, unnecessary re-locations and lessening litigious situations Armed with the data, designers, contractors and utility coordinators can:
Accurately identify utilities likely to be relocated hence derive the cost estimates
Initiate conflict resolution with utility companies to ensure re-locations are negotiated and coordinated to avoid impacting main line construction activities
Mitigate conflicts by optimizing preliminary alignments and design specifications and considering alternative design options
Confidently planning construction or development work amidst existing utilities. This has been developed to ensure high quality products are delivered in a timely and cost effective manner in line with international standards.

Surface detection topographical and engineering surveys
Leica instruments are used to carry out all Topographical and Engineering survey
works. These include topographical mapping, setting-out, mine surveys, leveling and
control establishment.
These surveys, produces CAD drawings, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), and converts
some of the data to shapefile format (for GIS purposes) depending on the need of the
client. Data is also produced in ASCII format for easier integration with different
engineering and surveying software that the client may have.
