Computer Aided Drafting
SA Earthworks surveying division provides specialty services that include a high degree of competency with AutoCAD® and civil engineering and survey packages. Our CAD work often extends beyond general detail and topographic surveys including grid and as-built drawings.
Our qualified and professional team are able to accurately produce scale drawings of almost anything from mechanical detail to comprehensive service drawings and renderings of buildings and topographic data.
Using on-site laptops, customized AutoCAD® menus, and Data Loggers, we are able to take any CAD drawing and transform it using specified points set out directly on the ground, making the transition from designer/builder plans to actual physical layout of a building structure.
Metrology
SA Earthworks uses precise survey instrumentation to achieve very accurate alignment and levelling of industrial machinery.
Virtually anything on a factory floor or industrial site is able to be accurately measured to sub-millimetre precision if required. In addition, we offer long or short term deformation and quality control surveys that can also be used as a supplement to your existing maintenance plan.
Our services include:
- Roller alignments.
- Roller deflections.
- Shaft alignments.
- Kiln alignments.
- Machine offsets.
- Machine set up.
- Vessel circumference surveys.
- Quality control.
