Welcome to SC Surveys
We understand the resourcing challenges survey teams face and work with you to ensure we deliver efficiency and value, starting with a seamless transition to site with minimal downtime.
Multi-skilled in the use of modern surveying software and equipment including UAVs, our team take a professional and systematic approach to every task. Our work is well planned and accurate, keeping operational deliverables on track, not just warming a seat in your office.
Importantly, we integrate safety into every project. We expect accountability from our team and achieve this through regular safety contact with our surveyors, who work proactively within your health and safety management system to sustain safety every day.
Mine Survey Support
Survey Workforce
We offer experienced survey support to fill short term resourcing gaps for your site through to cost-effective, long-term solutions providing full capacity mine survey teams.
We can ease the burden of backfilling during recruitment processes or during annual leave and can step in when site projects arise with increased workload.
With successful projects on large scale sites through to small operations, our multi-skilled surveyors seamlessly align with your team to minimise disruption and keep operational deliverables on track.
We are well versed in navigating the requirements of client contractor management systems, ensuring a swift onboarding process for our surveyors.
Once onsite we follow our comprehensive site checklist to quickly understand the key characteristics of your site so we can get straight onto the mark ups and memos.

Projects
Glencore
SC Surveys' work with Glencore in the Mount Isa region has included the ongoing provision of relief surveyors to MICO and Lady Loretta for daily operational support to the survey team.
Undertaking day to day survey tasks utilising conventional surveying, GPS, drone scanning and check surveys, our surveyors maintain accurate survey control, prepare void & volume measurements and undertake monthly reporting.
Our presence extended to scope audits for statutory project work and continues into the closure phases of these sites.
AIC Copper
At Eloise we provided surveyors for ongoing operational support, working autonomously to deliver timely survey results.
We also played a key role in significant project work on surface infrastructure, including the new raisebore precinct and the development and production chiller plants. These contributions directly supported the mine's growth and operational efficiency.
Aeris Resources
Our work with Aeris Resources at Mt Colin Mine and Cracow has consistently demonstrated our commitment to precision and operational excellence.
At Mt Colin, our surveyors provided daily operational underground surveying, ensuring reliable and accurate results, our quarterly ROM stockpile audits played a critical role in validating work processes and maintaining high standards of data integrity.
We were also proud to deliver mine closure plans for Mt Colin.
Our association with Cracow has included essential relief coverage for survey operations, ensuring continuity during critical periods and implementation of drone LiDAR scanning for visual insights into stopes and raisebores offering a new level of understanding and efficiency to site.
CSA
At CSA Cobar our team provided acting statutory relief coverage to monitor data integrity and work systems. Our work extended to site projects including statutory LOM check surveys and vent raise scanning audits for deformation monitoring.
Regis Resources Limited
Our surveyors undertook the implementation of Deswik software at Duketon South and Garden Well which included data transformation & QA audits. We provided site-based training to users across the Technical Services team and utilised our experience of best practice methodologies and operational insight to customise new survey workflows for efficiency.
Overseas
Overseas, we have consulted for Adriatic Metals at Rupice Mine, establishing best practice survey methodologies suitable for the commencement of mine production.
At Central Asia Metals, Sasa Mine, we implemented survey software, identified skill gaps in the team and provided necessary team training, which extended to preparing and rolling out standard survey operating procedures for daily tasks and reporting.
