Case Study: Abax Contracting Pty Ltd achieves faster, more accurate site surveying and integrated data management with Trimble Stratus (Trimble)

Trimble Stratus Drone Technology Takes Off in Australia

Abax Contracting, a Sydney-based civil infrastructure and land development specialist, needed faster, more frequent and more accurate site surveys to meet contractual progress‑reporting requirements and reduce on‑site risk and information bottlenecks. With projects across the greater Sydney area, the company sought a solution that would improve estimating, monitoring and client communication without relying on external survey crews.

Abax deployed Trimble Stratus drone software and Aeropoint ground control, integrated with its existing Trimble systems, to capture, process and share site maps and models within hours. The result: quicker, data‑driven decision making, accurate volume and design checks, safer sites with fewer surveyors exposed to machinery, streamlined progress claims and client updates, and overall time and cost savings that support improved project profitability.
