Buckton Surveyors and Planners

Not a bad day at the office for Josh and Hayz last week as they headed out to Great Barrier to carry out topographical surveys of wharf structures as part of Auckland Transports on going resilience work for the island's infrastructure. The team spent a couple of days mapping the locations, features and levels of the wharves and ramps so the engineers know exactly what they're working with. Important mahi keeping this beautiful spot connected.

Great to be working alongside the team at LDE Engineers ∙ Scientists on this one!

• Higher altitude flights for faster, large-scale surveys
• Operating within 4km of aerodromes and in controlled airspace
• Expanded permissions over people and property

This means safer, more efficient, and more flexible solutions for your project.
