SERVICES

CADASTRAL

Arman Larmer's Registered Surveyors perform the casdastral survey to subdivide land into parcels for ownership under a land title and to re-establish bounderies of previously surveyed properties to determine the physical extent of ownership or to facilitate the transfer of property title. Major developments and re-developments in towns and cities in PNG has been carried out by ALS. Given the importance of these projects, ALS has surpassed expectations in these areas by project stakeholders.

GPS GIS

Global Positioning Systems or GPS are used to find the exact location of things. Geographic Information Systems or GIS are used to record information onto maps. Both GPS and GIS are useful in managing land in high resource areas in PNG. Arman Larmer has the capability to use this service wherever required. The services has been fully deployed in the LNG Projects of the Highlands region of Papua New Guinea since the inception of the PNG LNG Project in Hela Province

PRECISION ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION SET OUT

At ALS, we define the Precision Engineering and Construction setout as very important in structural construction with giving our clients the exact physical location for the structure setup. It is always a good idea to involve precision works land surveying in your construction set out. This where ALS can come in with its expertise and the technique has been deployed in Hides LNG Conditioning plant, Lihir new Flotation Plant, Ball Mill and Sag Mill and Exxon Mobil EPC Projects in Hides LNG, Papua New Guinea

MINING & PETROLEUM EXPLORATION

Arman Larmer's presence and blue print in the mining and petroleum exploration sector has been there since the inception of the Ok Tedi and Porgera JV in the early 80's and early 90's. This followed through with other awarded projects in the Hides LNG Projects, Kutubu Oil and other new mines like Lihir, Simberi, Hiden Valley and Wafi Golpu. ALS value clients in these extractive industries and have a high safety standards throughout its projects.

HYDROGRAPHIC

There are various methologies used nowadays, to carry out a hydrographic survey, depending on the end use of the survey and the size of the area to be surveyed. Vertical depth measurement and Horizontal position fixing measurement are two methods Arman Larmer has the skills and the technical know how to pursue such survey inclusive of the appropriate tools as well. ALS has partnered with Mapping and Hydrographic Pty Ltd of Brisbane to carry out Hydrographic surveys in PNG. PNG Maritime and Safety Service has been one of its biggest client in this area offloading Light House Projects to ALS.

GEODETIC

TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY

Geodetic surveys involve such extensive areas that allowance must be made for the earth's curvative. Baseline measurements for classified triangulation (the basic survey method that consist of accurately measuring a base line and computing other locations by angle measurement) are therefore reduced to sea-level length. At Arman Larmer, this surveying techniques has been used extensively in mining and LNG Projects through out its survey history in Papua New Guinea.

Collecting of data and preparing maps showing the location of natural man-made features and elevations of points to the ground for multiple uses. Here at Arman Larmer, we associate our specialist surveyors with varieties of survey and, Topographic surveying is one of them and we pride ourselves in carrying out Topographic surveys for long and narrow projects associated with Civil Engineering Projects, like the Highlands Highway, PNG LNG Pipelines layouts, and the Hides Transmission Lines. ALS has been carrying out Topographic surveys in most of its projects through Papua New Guinea.

MOBILE LASER SCANNING

With more and more projects relying on geospatial data, laser scanning has become one of the most popular surveying method. ALS has the experience and capacity to carry such survey method. The Laser Scanning method is widely used in the gas and mining projects by ALS Surveys and its continues to do so now. Examples of projects that Mobile Laser Scanning have been vastly used, the Hides LNG Project, Kutubu Oil Projects, Ok Tedi new Crusher Projects and many more. This technique has been widely used and ALS Surveyors will continue to deploy that.

LIDAR IMAGERY

Arial imagery provides a record of the earth at an instant in time and is relied on by all organizations that manage or interact with the natural and built environment. Arial imagery provides a common language to help communicate complex concept or problems to developers, planners, decision makers and society at large. ALS drew alliance with AAM to do LIDAR IMAGERY survey in the Hides Gas Project. ALS also partnered with Trains Wonderland Air Limited, Cairns, Australia to carry LiDAR and Imagery Surveys in PNG. This has pretty much build the experience of the Survey Team at ALS
