Versatile in application. Fluid in approach. Unwavering in spirit.

At MĀKI, we provide advanced surveying and monitoring services that are accurate, reliable, and tailored to real-world needs. We specialise in cost-effective, agile, and adaptive solutions, working closely with clients to ensure the right balance between time, quality, and budget. Whether it is mapping underwater environments, monitoring environmental conditions, or inspecting critical assets, our goal is to make our services work for you. By combining cutting-edge technology with practical expertise, we deliver insights that support better decisions, more efficient operations, and smarter resource management. Our services include environmental monitoring, bathymetry, topography, integrated bathymetry and topography surveys, as well as asset inspection and management.

Environmental Monitoring & Water Sampling
– Data You Can Trust for Better Decisions

Our environmental monitoring service provides accurate, real-time insights into the health of freshwater and coastal environments. Using advanced sensors and our autonomous surface vessels (USVs), we capture critical data on water temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and algae levels. In addition to continuous monitoring, our USVs are equipped to collect physical water samples directly from specific depths and locations, ensuring that laboratory analysis can complement sensor measurements. This combination of real-time data and precise sampling helps councils, researchers, and industry partners track changes in water quality, respond quickly to environmental risks, and make evidence-based decisions that support sustainable management of natural resources.

Bathymetry
– Accurate Underwater Depth Mapping

We deliver high-resolution bathymetric surveys to accurately map underwater terrain in lakes, rivers, ponds, and coastal environments. Depending on the project requirements, our autonomous surface vessels can be equipped with either single-beam or multi-beam sonar systems, giving clients flexibility between broad coverage and highly detailed mapping. The resulting depth data reveals underwater topography, sediment build-up, and changes in water storage capacity over time. These insights are essential for activities such as dredging, flood risk assessment, habitat monitoring, and infrastructure planning. Our approach is cost-effective, safe, and efficient, allowing us to cover large areas while providing clear, actionable survey outputs tailored to each client’s needs.

Topography
– High-Resolution Land and Shoreline Mapping

We use drone-based photogrammetry to capture accurate measurements of land, shorelines, and surrounding environments. Our surveys produce detailed 2D maps and 3D models that help clients monitor erosion, assess land use, and support environmental restoration or construction projects. The ability to combine aerial and ground-based data gives stakeholders a clear view of changes over time, helping them to plan and act with confidence while keeping projects within budget and on schedule.

Bathymetry & Topography
– Integrated Land and Water Surveys

For a complete understanding of aquatic and coastal environments, we offer combined bathymetry and topography surveys. By merging underwater sonar mapping with aerial drone photogrammetry, we create comprehensive datasets that cover both above and below the waterline. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for projects such as lake management, flood risk assessments, or infrastructure development, where land and water systems interact. Our solutions are designed to give clients a full, accurate picture that supports better decision-making and long-term planning.

Asset Management (Inspection)
– Smarter Infrastructure Monitoring

We provide advanced inspection services for critical water-related assets, including dams, bridges, pipelines, and aquaculture facilities. Using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), drones, and specialised sensors, we safely access hard-to-reach or hazardous environments, reducing the need for costly and risky manual inspections. Our technology captures high-quality visual, structural, and environmental data, which we deliver in clear formats for engineers and decision-makers. By enabling early detection of issues such as structural wear, cracks, or biofouling, our services help clients improve safety, optimise maintenance schedules, and reduce operational costs over time.
