Case Study: SEE Civil achieves faster, safer surveys and deeper site insight with Trimble Stratus

SEE Civil Enhances Survey Workflows and Generates Greater Construction Site Insight with UAVs and Trimble Stratus

SEE Civil is an Australian civil construction firm with more than 30 years’ experience delivering roads, bridges, earthworks and urban infrastructure across southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales. The company relied heavily on conventional surveying methods, which were costly, time-consuming and posed safety constraints, so SEE Civil sought a way to integrate UAVs and a cohesive survey workflow to get faster, safer, survey-grade site data.

Working with Propeller and SITECH, SEE Civil deployed UAVs together with Trimble Stratus, Trimble Business Center and AeroPoints to capture high‑resolution, geo‑referenced maps. The new workflow cut survey time and costs, enabled more frequent and accurate topographic and volume measurements, simplified reporting and collaboration, and let teams make faster, data-driven decisions—transforming how SEE Civil tracks progress and delivers project insights.
