Shaping insights.
Building futures.
Geo Terrane Consultants delivers high-precision survey, mapping and subsurface investigation for infrastructure, urban development and environmental projects across India and abroad — so you know exactly what you are building on.
Mapping & Surveying
Detailed base maps and spatial datasets — the foundation for planning urban layouts, infrastructure networks and zoning.
Our surveying toolkit spans drone surveys, LiDAR scanning, D-GPS and traditional ground survey, forming the base layer for infrastructure development, environmental impact assessment and 3D site visualisation.
- Topographic and contour mapping
- Base maps for zoning and master planning
- 3D site visualisation and terrain models
- Deliverables in DWG, KML, shapefile and GIS-ready formats
Drone (UAV) Surveys
Rapid, high-resolution aerial data collection for 3D modelling, site analysis and infrastructure monitoring.
Drone-based LiDAR and thermal imaging improve precision on large or hard-to-access sites — deployed on projects across Mumbai and Himachal Pradesh.
- Photogrammetric orthomosaics and DSM/DTM generation
- Drone-mounted LiDAR for vegetated and steep terrain
- Thermal imaging for site and asset inspection
- Repeat flights for construction progress monitoring
LiDAR Surveys
High-density point-cloud capture for accurate terrain modelling, vegetation mapping and infrastructure corridor planning.
Including hill-terrain projects executed in Sikkim and Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, where conventional survey access is difficult and ground crews cannot safely reach the slope.
- Bare-earth DTM extraction beneath vegetation canopy
- Corridor and alignment planning in steep terrain
- Classified point clouds (ground, vegetation, structures)
- Volume, slope and cross-section derivation
Differential GPS (D-GPS) Surveys
High-accuracy RTK-GNSS positioning for land parcel mapping, infrastructure alignment, control point establishment and cadastral surveys.
D-GPS control also underpins our GPR utility surveys — ensuring every detected utility is tied to precise, mappable coordinates rather than a chalk mark on the road.
- Primary and secondary control point networks
- Cadastral and land parcel boundary survey
- Alignment staking and as-built verification
- Georeferencing of GPR, drone and LiDAR datasets
Total Station Surveys
High-detail land surveys supporting urban design projects with accurate measurement for building layouts, road networks and utility placement.
Where a drone gives coverage, a total station gives detail — the two are routinely combined on the same site so that hard features are captured to survey-grade tolerance.
- Detail and plane-table survey for building layouts
- Road network and utility placement survey
- Setting out and construction layout support
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Non-invasive detection of subsurface utilities, pipelines and underground anomalies — critical for infrastructure planning ahead of excavation.
Using GSSI SIR-4000 systems with 400 MHz antennas, effective to roughly 5 m depth, our GPR surveys have supported metro and flyover projects by mapping utility corridors and flagging conflicts before construction begins.
| Control system | GSSI SIR-4000 |
|---|---|
| Antenna | 400 MHz |
| Effective depth | ~5 m, site conditions permitting |
| Positioning | DGPS-marked anomalies, cross-checked on site |
| Processing | RADAN-7, exported to GIS |
Remote Sensing & GIS
Comprehensive spatial analysis using satellite and aerial imagery to assess land use, monitor environmental change and support infrastructure and resource-allocation decisions.
GIS layers give planners a decision-ready view of the terrain — not a folder of raw imagery, but classified, attributed data that answers the question that was asked.
- Land use / land cover classification and change detection
- Multi-year time-series analysis of site conditions
- Vegetation and tree-cover mapping, including deep-learning detection
- Spatial datasets delivered as KML, shapefile or geodatabase
Geological & Geotechnical Investigations
Subsurface geological assessments that inform safe, cost-effective construction practices.
Especially valuable in urban and hill areas prone to geological challenges such as slope instability or highly variable ground conditions, where a generic assumption about the subsurface is an expensive thing to get wrong.
- Site characterisation for foundation and earthworks design
- Slope stability assessment and modelling (Rocscience)
- Structural analysis of existing buildings
- Geotechnical investigation reporting
Urban Planning & Development Support
We integrate geospatial analysis with urban growth strategies — modelling growth, analysing land suitability, and contributing to master plans and infrastructure blueprints.
The aim is straightforward: sustainable, resilient communities planned on evidence about the land rather than on assumption.
- Land suitability and constraint analysis
- Growth modelling and scenario mapping
- Master plan and infrastructure blueprint inputs
