Mine Stability & Tailings Monitoring

InSAR time-series and ground-motion analysis supporting tailings dam and mine-stability risk management for a resources operator.

SectorMining & Resources
LocationRustenburg, South Africa
ClientPlatinum group metals operator
ChallengeThe client needed continuous, independent visibility of ground movement across an active tailings storage facility to meet GISTM reporting obligations and catch early signs of instability between annual geotechnical audits.
Our ApproachWe combined satellite-based InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) deformation time-series with ground-based radar validation surveys and ground control monitoring, feeding results into a simple threshold-based alerting workflow for the client's safety team.
DeliverablesMonthly deformation heat-maps, a ground-motion trend dashboard, threshold-breach alerts, and an annual stability summary report aligned to GISTM disclosure requirements.
OutcomeEarly detection of localised settlement on one embankment section allowed the client's engineers to schedule inspection and remediation well ahead of any visible surface change, avoiding unplanned downtime.

Infrastructure As-Built Surveys

Engineering control, setting-out and as-built support through a civil infrastructure build.

SectorConstruction & Infrastructure
LocationGauteng, South Africa
ClientCivil engineering contractor
ChallengeA multi-phase road and stormwater upgrade required tight survey control across several contractors and construction stages, with as-built records needed for handover and municipal sign-off.
Our ApproachWe established and maintained the project's primary and secondary control network, provided setting-out for earthworks, kerbing and services, and captured as-built data at each construction milestone using GNSS and total station survey.
DeliverablesControl network certificates, setting-out records, progressive as-built drawings, and a final as-built dataset formatted for the municipality's GIS.
OutcomeConsistent survey control across contractors avoided rework at handover, and the digital as-built package was accepted by the municipality without revision.

Township Establishment & SPLUMA Support

General plan and proclamation surveys paired with spatial planning advisory.

SectorGovernment & Public Sector
LocationNorth West Province, South Africa
ClientMunicipal planning department
ChallengeA township establishment project needed a compliant general plan, proclamation survey and supporting spatial planning documentation to progress through SPLUMA (Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act) approval stages.
Our ApproachOur registered land surveyors prepared the general plan (GP) and diagrams for Surveyor-General (SG) approval, while our planning team compiled the land-use scheme and SPLUMA application package in parallel to keep both tracks moving together.
DeliverablesSG-approved general plan and erf diagrams, a SPLUMA-compliant land-use application, and a proclamation-ready documentation set for the municipality.
OutcomeThe township proceeded through SG examination and municipal approval without a resubmission cycle, shortening the path from planning to proclamation.

Solar Site Suitability Analysis

Suitability modelling and due diligence supporting site selection for a solar development.

SectorRenewable Energy
LocationNorthern Cape, South Africa
ClientIndependent power producer
ChallengeThe developer needed to compare several candidate sites for a utility-scale solar installation against terrain, land tenure, grid-access and environmental constraints before committing to a detailed feasibility study.
Our ApproachWe built a GIS-based suitability model layering slope and aspect analysis, cadastral and land-tenure data, proximity to existing grid infrastructure, and environmentally sensitive areas, then ranked candidate sites against a weighted scoring framework.
DeliverablesA comparative site-suitability report, ranked shortlist with supporting maps, and a cadastral and title due-diligence summary for the preferred site.
OutcomeThe developer proceeded to detailed feasibility on the top-ranked site with land-tenure risks already identified and addressed, avoiding costly late-stage surprises.

SectorAgriculture & Land Management
LocationFree State, South Africa
ClientCommercial farming enterprise
ChallengeA multi-generational farming enterprise needed to reconcile historical subdivisions and boundary changes across several original farm portions, alongside ongoing monitoring of land-cover change for compliance reporting.
Our ApproachWe traced the farm's boundary lineage through historical diagrams and deeds records back to the original general plan, reconciling it against current cadastral data, and layered in multi-year satellite land-cover classification to track cultivation and vegetation change over time.
DeliverablesA boundary lineage report with supporting historical diagrams, a reconciled current cadastral layer, and an annual land-cover change monitoring dataset.
OutcomeThe enterprise gained a clear, defensible record of its landholding history and an ongoing monitoring baseline for future compliance and land-use reporting.

Wetland & Environmental Impact Monitoring

Baseline environmental mapping and change monitoring supporting an environmental authorisation process.

SectorEnvironmental
LocationMpumalanga, South Africa
ClientIndustrial development proponent
ChallengeA proposed development required a defensible environmental baseline — including wetland delineation and sensitive-area mapping — to support its environmental authorisation application, plus a monitoring plan for the construction phase.
Our ApproachWe combined field-verified wetland delineation with multi-spectral satellite analysis to map vegetation health and hydrology across the site and buffer zones, then defined a repeatable monitoring methodology tied to the authorisation's conditions.
DeliverablesA baseline environmental mapping report, delineated wetland and buffer-zone layers, and a construction-phase monitoring plan with defined reporting intervals.
OutcomeThe mapping and monitoring plan were accepted as part of the environmental authorisation submission, giving the client a clear, evidence-based basis for ongoing compliance reporting.

SectorProperty & Real Estate
LocationCape Town, South Africa
ClientProperty investment fund
ChallengeAhead of acquiring a multi-unit sectional title portfolio, the investor needed independent verification of unit boundaries, participation quotas and title status across every scheme before finalising the transaction.
Our ApproachWe cross-checked sectional title plans and diagrams against Deeds Registry and Surveyor-General records for each scheme, flagged discrepancies in as-built boundaries versus registered plans, and compiled a consolidated due-diligence register across the portfolio.
DeliverablesA scheme-by-scheme title and boundary verification report, a consolidated due-diligence register, and a summary of flagged discrepancies with recommended remedial steps.
OutcomeThe investor proceeded to transfer with full visibility of title risk across the portfolio, and two boundary discrepancies were resolved with the transferring attorneys before the deal closed.
