If you look at ABSD’s 2025 project list, a pattern starts to appear. The work is no longer just about “getting the survey done”, each project is a reminder that we have to keep innovating. San Juanico and Naga, for example, posed very different challenges and required different capture setups, processing workflows, and deliverables. The lesson is clear: there is no one-size-fits-all LiDAR survey. Every bridge, city, and LGU needs a tailored approach so that clients don’t jus

If you stand on a ridge in Northern Samar and look out toward the sea, it is easy to understand why developers are racing to harness the wind there. Strong, consistent winds sweep across the hills and coastlines, and the government has identified the area as a key site for large scale renewable energy. One of the biggest planned onshore wind projects in the Philippines is slated to rise on the border of Northern Samar and Samar as part of the country’s broader clean energy pu

High up in the hills of Northern Samar, a new kind of landmark is rising. Where most people see rugged cliffs, thick forests, and farms tucked into the slopes, a team of engineers, surveyors, and community partners see something else: a place where clean energy and careful land stewardship can work together. At the center of this story is the Wind Power Project in Samar, a 206.25 megawatt wind farm with 33 turbines designed to supply clean power to the Visayas grid and suppor

Actual Flythrough of Naga City (covering over 3021.9 hectares) What if maps could do more than just show streets and buildings? What if they could help local governments save lives during floods, guide the design of safer roads, and even help plan more livable, tax-efficient communities? In our latest initiative with the City Government of Naga, AB Surveying and Development (ABSD) donated LiDAR-based topographic data covering 3000 hectares of the city. More than a map, this d

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
