Construction surveying involves a set of techniques and measurements performed by a surveyor primarily to determine and mark the boundaries and features of a site, and to accurately position the planned construction elements on the site. It ensures precision in the work, controls costs, and ensures the quality and compliance of the constructions.
Can-Explore offers construction surveying services designed to meet the complex challenges and stringent requirements of the transportation and energy sectors. Whether for roadway or railway corridor projects, or for the deployment of energy infrastructures, our experts ensure impeccable accuracy at every stage of construction.
Construction surveying for your industry sector:
Our surveying services for the transport and energy sector:
Quantity/volume calculations
We ensure thorough tracking and precise validation of dimensions and quantities for payment works, allowing for reliable estimates, resource optimization, and minimization of overages and unforeseen issues for more effective cost management. For more information, visit our volume measurement page.
3D Scanning/Photogrammetry
Detailed site representation for simplified management and planning. For more details on this service, visit our page on 3D scanning, photogrammetry, or mobile mapping.
Construction site supervision
Our periodic surveys enable tracking of site progress, anticipating necessary adjustments, and ensuring compliance with specifications. For more information, please visit our construction site supervision page.
Formwork and concreting
Technical assistance for formwork and concrete pouring, ensuring optimal execution.
As-built plans
Updating plans according to actual conditions for accurate documentation of infrastructure.
Excavation work – Cut and fill
Determination of foundation levels by grading the terrain with a grid of elevation points, ensuring a flat surface ready for construction.
Floor flatness and levelness (FFFL)
Surface levelness control to ensure compliance with tolerance standards, essential for infrastructures requiring optimal flatness.
Concrete Formwork Layout
Technical assistance for the foundations of industrial infrastructures.
As-built Plans
The “as-built” plan is a document representing the final state of a project after completion. It differs from the initial plans by reflecting modifications and adjustments made during construction.
In the transportation and energy sectors, where every project involves significant investments and critical challenges, Can-Explore leverages the most advanced geomatics technologies to produce as-built plans that meet the highest industry standards. These tools allow us to map even the most complex large-scale infrastructure quickly and accurately, ensuring compliance and long-term durability. Our expertise provides clients and partners with a solid foundation to tackle the challenges of major projects.
Our specialized surveying tools:
WingtraOne GEN II from Wingtra
The WingtraOne GEN II is an advanced, intelligent mapping drone that delivers unmatched performance for surveying large sites (photogrammetry). This drone maximizes coverage in a single flight, capable of covering up to 460 hectares in one hour, optimizing surveying operations by reducing labor hours. With its VTOL design (vertical takeoff and landing), it performs exceptionally well on vegetation‑free terrain. The WingtraOne GEN II is equipped with a 61 MP camera, providing the highest‑quality imagery with an absolute horizontal accuracy of less than one centimeter.

Leica Pegasus TRK 700 Neo
The Leica Pegasus TRK 700 Neo is a state‑of‑the‑art mobile mapping tool capable of capturing more than one million LiDAR points per second. Powered by artificial intelligence, it is the ideal solution for rapid surveying of long roadway segments. With integrated SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and high‑precision RTK (Real Time Kinematics) positioning, this system georeferences geospatial data with centimeter‑level accuracy. Its built‑in cameras with ISOFIX finally allow RGB photo colorization to be applied to the point clouds collected by its LiDAR scanner.

NavVis MLX from NavVis
The NavVis MLX transforms 3D reality capture with its advanced, portable technology. Its compact and ergonomic design offers unmatched mobility for surveyors, making it ideal for quickly and efficiently scanning the interior of a building or structure. With its 32‑layer LiDAR sensor combined with SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) software, this system delivers the highest point‑cloud quality among comparable tools. Finally, its four integrated cameras capture high‑resolution 360º images, enabling RGB photo colorization to be applied to the point clouds collected by its LiDAR scanner.
