GIICO
staff consists of qualified and experienced inspectors who undertake surveillance inspection and accept construction works in accordance to recognized international standards (such as API, BSS, ASME, ASTM, ISO and DIN). Inspection services are provided for electrical and mechanical products, pipe and manufactured goods, buildings and facilities, foodstuffs and other materials
Vertical accuracy of the system (on land) is 10mm, but with wave motion etc., the realistic vertical accuracy is 60mm. The system is independent of tidal fluctuations, waves, wind and currents. Pre-determined courses can be set and positioning to accuracy of 50mm can be achieved. Data is collected and downloaded for processing on our drafting module for plan & Cross section.
GIICO has been involved in a wide range of surveying and Geomatics projects around the country and the surrounding areas. With our experience, we lead professionals & responsible crews, who all strive to provide the best service available at a reasonable price to an extensive list of clients and on a wide range of projects.
GII Surveyors are experienced in mapping of sea-beds, river beds, lake beds, etc. We use purpose built boat, which is used for our hydrographic work. The boat is suitable in open moderate waters. The system utilizes DGPS (Differential Global Position Satellite) surveying equipment with RTK (Real Time Kinematic) facility allowing us to work within 30km of a base station. The system relies on multi frequency echo sounders heave compensator electronics to measure the roll and pitch of the vessel. These signals are downloaded to an onboard computer every second.
