Why Near-Tec Survey
What Sets Us Apart
Survey data is only as good as the team collecting it. Near-Tec Survey combines professional-grade hardware with experienced operators and rigorous quality control.
Proven Government Track Record
Contracted by HM Government of Gibraltar for GIS data production, and by law enforcement bodies including Hampshire Police and the Royal Gibraltar Police. Our work is trusted where accuracy matters.
Multi-Domain Capability
Aerial, terrestrial, and subsea survey from a single provider. No project handoffs between contractors — one team, one point of contact, one deliverable.
Engineering-Ready Deliverables
We don’t just hand over raw point clouds. Every project is processed and delivered in the formats your engineering, design, or planning team can use immediately.
Part of Near Technologies Group
Survey clients benefit from the group’s broader capability — drone operations under EASA and Gibraltar CAA regulation, marine survey, and IT infrastructure — enabling integrated project delivery.
