Engineering survey, GIS and Remote Sensing are integral techniques of our engineering and non engineering studies. Application of these techniques ensures two advantages which include (i) simplification of large scale studies and (ii) assurances of our designs regardless of scale and complexity. Some of the projects we have undertaken in this category are presented below.
