Who

Fugro Airborne Surveys was formed in early 2000 through the global merger of leading airborne geophysical survey companies: Geoterrex-Dighem, High-Sense Geophysics, and Questor of Canada; World Geoscience of Australia; and Geodass, and AOC of South Africa. Sial Geosciences of Canada joined the Fugro Airborne group in early 2001, and Spectra Exploration Geosciences followed thereafter.  In mid 2001, Fugro acquired Tesla 10 and Kevron in Australia, and certain activities of Scintrex. Fugro also works with Lasa-Geomag in Brazil. With a staff of over 400, Fugro now operates from 12 offices worldwide.

What

Fugro Airborne Surveys specialises in low level remote sensing technologies and collects, processes and interprets airborne geophysical data related to the subsurface of the earth and the sea bed. The data and map products produced have been an essential element of exploration programs for the mining and oil & gas industries for over 50 years. Engineers, scientists and others with a need to map the earth’s subsurface geology use Fugro Airborne Surveys for environmental and engineering solutions.
