In a country defined by its rivers, bays, and scattered archipelagos, bridges are more than infrastructure, they are lifelines. They connect provinces, enable commerce, and ensure uninterrupted mobility across the country. But behind every bridge upgrade or rehabilitation is a critical foundation: precise data. This month, AB Surveying & Development (ABSD) highlights two recent high-impact projects where survey precision directly influenced engineering safety, cost-efficiency

In a recent large-scale infrastructure project, AB Surveying & Development delivered a truly above-and-beyond mapping solution. We provided a seamless dataset covering every detail from the high-resolution topographic base maps needed for developments in the mountains to precise bathymetric charts of the new port development at sea. To empower our client, we even included a complimentary Global Mapper software license and hands-on training . This ensured the project team coul

If you’ve ever stood on the shore of a Lake or along the banks of the country’s great rivers and asked how planners decide where a road should run or how a community should be protected from floods, the answer begins with a clear picture of both the land above the water and the world below it. This is the story of how AB Surveying & Development (ABSD) delivered that picture, turning complex environments into confident decisions. At the heart of these efforts is a simple idea

“The Big One” – a term that sends a chill down the spine of Metro Manila residents – refers to a long-anticipated massive earthquake expected along the West Valley Fault. Seismologists project a magnitude 7.2 shake that could devastate the metropolis and nearby provinces. In such a scenario, every second counts. The ability to quickly assess damage, ensure structural safety, and coordinate rescue efforts can mean the difference between life and death. Modern technology is st

Singapore used LiDAR to make 3D maps for urban planning, disaster risk management, and environmental sustainability. In 2014, they...
