Gateway to the North Island
Surveying & Geomatics in Campbell River
Campbell River is where the Island changes character. South of town it's highway, subdivisions and services; north and west it's working resource country — forestry roads, hydro infrastructure and coastline that gets remote fast. Surveying here spans both worlds, often in the same week.
From our Courtenay base, Campbell River is a straightforward run up Highway 19 — close enough for single-day fieldwork, which matters on a coast where weather windows decide when the work actually happens.
Campbell River project environments
The work here concentrates in settings that reward field experience:
Civil & municipal works
Road, utility and servicing projects through a growing community — layout, grade control and as-built records for acceptance.
Industrial & hydroelectric vicinity
Industrial sites and infrastructure corridors around the Campbell River system, where safety protocols and coordination come standard.
Resource & forestry land
Topographic and LiDAR mapping on active forestry tenure — radio-controlled roads, gates and seasonal access all planned in advance.
Coastal & foreshore
Marine-adjacent projects from the harbour north, where tide planning and datum control keep elevations honest.
What we deliver here
Drone LiDAR
Bare-earth terrain through the heavy second-growth that surrounds most large sites north of town.
About this service →Construction Surveying
Layout and as-builts for civil, commercial and residential construction across the city.
About this service →Topographic Surveys
Design-ready existing conditions, from tight urban lots to large rural and resource parcels.
About this service →Drone Mapping
Orthophotos, surfaces and volumes for pits, yards and large-area sites.

Campbell River is also our staging point for work further north — Sayward, the logging road network, and projects that end where the pavement does. A Courtenay base means North Island mobilizations start closer than they would from anywhere south of us.
Common questions
Do you work on sites accessed by logging roads?+
Yes — a good share of our northern work is on active forestry roads. Our crews carry radios, follow road-use protocols, and plan access (gates, hours, deactivations) before mobilizing, so site days are spent working rather than negotiating access.
Can you map large or remote parcels near Campbell River?+
That's exactly what drone LiDAR is for. Large vegetated parcels that would take a ground crew weeks can be flown and delivered as bare-earth surfaces, contours and orthophotos — with ground checks to verify accuracy.
Do you support ongoing construction projects in Campbell River?+
Yes. For active projects we schedule recurring layout and as-built visits, and because we're under an hour away, weather reschedules and short-notice calls are manageable rather than expensive.
