VIETNAM - I'm a Global Surveyor

Name: Dave Mitchell

Country: Vietnam

Email: davem@gci-int.com

Tell the world about how you contribute to surveying.:
 
 
I've been surveying in Vietnam and South East Asia since 1993 and we have our own business (GCI), which has been based in Saigon since 1998.

We've worked on hydroelectric and thermal power stations, cable-stayed bridges, highways and expressways, resorts, urban development projects, GIS, forestry and high rise buildings over the years.

Survey work, in various forms, has taken us to Cambodia, Laos, India, Bangladesh and Indonesia.

GCI's core business is surveying and mapping for infrastructure projects for international design and/or civil construction firms. GCI's present engagements include: a cable-stayed bridge in the north, a residential project in the centre and a resort/casino development in the south, so we're currently operating all over the country.

We use Nikon optical gear and Ashtech GPS equipment. On the software side, we use FAST Survey (Surv CE) on Ashtech MMCX field terminals and Carlson Civil Suite in the office.

I'd be pleased to hear from any surveyors, or related professionals, with an interest in this part of the world or surveying, mapping, GIS in general.

Cheers
Dave.

Surveying in a Disaster Zone.

Throughout the world today, there are natural disasters in places such as Pakistan & Haiti and many other places.
People have been left homeless, no food, no water, no aid.
In fact the entire population of Australia about 20 million people, is how many people are affected in Pakistan alone.
 
Have you ever supported or given aid to these disasters?
 
Have you ever offered help with the re-building of these places such as using your surveying skills to help define boundaries, set out buildings?
 
We'd love to know and hear your stories.
 
To help the people affected, Global Surveyors has set up a website http://www.everydayhero.com.au/globalsurveyors
 
By raising money for Red Cross you will help improve the lives of people in need overseas. When a community is ravaged by a flood, or a Pacific Island is struck by a tsunami, your support means that the Red Cross is ready to respond to these emergencies.

Your donation will also help people faced with other types of disasters that happen every day, disasters that can be equally distressing.

In areas of disadvantage where a parent may struggle to feed their children, your donation will give kids a healthy breakfast before school.
For an elderly person living alone, your support will provide a daily phone call to check on their health and well-being.
In a war-torn country where a child and mother have been separated due to conflict, your gift will help to bring them together again.
 
 
Can you help ?
 
Simply visit http://www.everydayhero.com.au/globalsurveyors and place a donation.
 
It doesn't matter how much you donate.
 
In thanks for doing that, we at Global Surveyors will credit you or your business with 3 months unlimited advertising, posting on the Global Surveyors website.
Upon receipt of your donation, we'll contact you and issue you with a special member number which you can insert in the Place a Post section to redeem this offer.
 
Not only will you be helping those in need, but you can also help promote your business on Global Surveyors.
 
 
We look forward to helping you and the rest of the world.

FOR SALE - Goulburn to Abercrombie River Road Plan.

For Sale are A3 size copies of the Goulburn to Abercrombie River Road Plan, first created in 1860.
 
N.S.W Australia.
 
This was incorrect search ordered for a survey.
 
I paid nearly $100 for the search but am offering for sale from $20 + postage.
 
It comes in 4 sheets.
 
It would suit a collector of maps, plans, or memorablia and would look great framed.
 
There are some slight creases in the middle of the each plan due to folding and was how I received it.
 
Simply contact Scott at scotttaylorsurveying@gmail.com for more information.
