Programme risk:
Resourcing &
Delivery
Large survey areas can exceed internal field capacity.
GVMD deploys scalable survey teams
matched to project requirements.
• Teams configured to survey scale and programme demands

concurrent work areas

supervision structure

detecting equipment across the entire
team of operatives

supervised controlled field operations
Consistent survey execution and
operational control.
Commercial risk:
