With over 50 years of combined experience in the field, our team is proficient in everything from bridge and viaduct layout to quantity take-offs and site supervision, with a rigor that ensures results meet standards and are delivered on time. We cover the civil engineering, mining, roadwork, building, industrial, and energy sectors to offer you comprehensive support.


Our strength lies in our team of dynamic field surveyors, trained to work in diverse and demanding environments, including remote regions and northern conditions. Whether your project involves the construction of dams, wind farms, or road infrastructure, we deploy a wide range of specialized services to meet your needs with pinpoint accuracy. Every project is handled with the same meticulous attention to detail, regardless of its size or complexity.


We understand that planning and integrating surveying into the daily operations of a construction site is essential to avoid costly errors and delays. Our equipment includes robotic total stations, state-of-the-art GPS receivers, and drones equipped with lidar sensors, allowing us to collect 3D data with optimal precision for 3D modeling and volumetric analysis. Surveying in Saguenay requires in-depth knowledge of local conditions, and that's precisely what our multidisciplinary and passionate team offers, project after project, making it a priority to provide accurate deliverables tailored to the operational realities of your site. You benefit from personalized support from the initial topographic survey to the final delivery of data and technical drawings.

At what stages of a construction project does construction surveying come into play?


Construction surveying plays a crucial role at several key stages of a project. Even before the first shovel hits the ground, the surveyor conducts a topographic survey of the site to establish elevations, boundaries, and site features. They then prepare the site plan, which will serve as the reference for the entire duration of the work. During the excavation and foundation phase, they position the axes, formwork, columns, and steel structures with precision that ensures compliance with the original plans and applicable regulations. For a surveying service in Saguenay, these successive steps are all the more important given the diversity of regional projects, ranging from hydroelectric power plants and wind farms to municipal infrastructure and large-scale mining projects.

The technologies used in construction surveying have evolved considerably over the past few decades, resulting in significant gains in accuracy and speed of execution. Robotic total stations measure angles and distances to the millimeter, while the latest generation of GPS receivers provides rapid positioning over vast territories, even in remote areas. Drones equipped with lidar sensors capture the true topography of the terrain by removing vegetation and obstacles, thus accelerating surveys while improving their reliability for quantity and volume calculations. In the Saguenay region, 3D scanners complement this arsenal by producing detailed point clouds, useful for modeling, tracking, and monitoring construction sites on large-scale projects in the region.
