Geospatial & Digital Surveying

With nearly 30 years of proven delivery and 25,000+ projects completed, Sterling's Geospatial & Digital Surveying division provides cutting-edge digital capture solutions for bridges, tunnels, marine structures, and civil infrastructure across rail, road, and government networks. Our advanced technologies, including laser scanning, photogrammetry, drone inspections, and underwater ROV surveys, deliver millimetre-accurate spatial data enabling comprehensive condition assessment without operational disruptions.

Sterling's geospatial capabilities integrate seamlessly with structural engineering and asset management services, ensuring survey data directly informs structural analysis, remediation design, and maintenance planning. Our surveyors and engineers work collaboratively from project inception,eliminating data handover delays, reducing rework, and ensuring survey deliverables precisely support downstream engineering requirements. This integrated model has delivered measurable efficiency gains across major infrastructure programs.

From digital twin development and deformation monitoring through to underwater structural inspections and survey control for construction projects, Sterling provides comprehensive geospatial solutions. Our capabilities extend across 3D laser scanning, aerial photogrammetry, hydrographic surveying, and real-time monitoring systems, enabling infrastructure owners to capture, visualise, and analyse asset conditions with unprecedented accuracy, supporting informed decision-making and reducing inspection costs while improving safety outcomes.
