The M7–M12 is now open to traffic. ⁠
⁠
One of Sydney's most complex motorway projects now connects the M12 and Western Sydney International Airport straight through to the M7.⁠
⁠
were proud to support the build from 2023 - 2026. Our survey managers, project surveyors, UAV pilots and data managers worked across bridge and pavement widening, aerial data capture, monitoring and as-built delivery — end-to-end spatial support through every stage.⁠
⁠
Genuine thanks to the teams at , and . A landmark project for Western Sydney, and one we're proud to have been part of.⁠
⁠
Accurate. Timely. Reliable. The RCS way.⁠

Rail is one of our strongest sectors at Road & Civil Surveys — and AusRAIL 2026 is the perfect opportunity to share what we’ve learned delivering complex survey programs across some of Australia’s most demanding rail projects.

If you’re attending and want to talk construction surveying, 3D scanning, or UAV ops on rail infrastructure, come find the RCS team.

RCS has gone underground.

(Officially.)

After 10 years on your infrastructure sites, Road & Civil Surveys have launched a dedicated Nationwide Utility Locating division.

Same team you trust above ground. Now below it too.

More details coming soon. 👇

We're in. Gregory Hills office fitout is done. Modern workspace, scalable layout, upgraded servers and data storage, and AV systems to keep us connected with our team and clients nationally — built to grow with the business.

Big thanks to the our builder and trades who made it happen. The team's settled in and it already feels like home.

Plenty of good cafes and pubs on the doorstep too. Clients and mates in the industry — you're welcome any time. Swing past, coffee's on us.

The team are at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre this week for the Leica Future Forum.

We’ve built up a lot of experience using the Leica products and events like this are a good opportunity to put that into the room. What’s working, where the real efficiencies are, how to get better data quality, reduce time impacts and increase productivity.

The industry improves when people share what they actually know. We’re happy to be part of that conversation.

Dense vegetation doesn't have to mean guesswork on your ground levels.

At RC Surveys, we're experts in airborne LiDAR with drone photogrammetry to do far more than just map ground levels under canopy.

LiDAR captures the full vegetation profile — individual tree heights, canopy spread, density and trunk locations. That data feeds directly into vegetation classification models and 3D clearance analysis.

Two areas where this delivers exceptional results:
Powerline easement encroachment — LiDAR identifies exactly which trees and branches breach minimum clearance envelopes around conductors. Instead of crews walking kilometres of easement through rough terrain, we deliver a prioritised encroachment register with height data, proximity to conductors, and GPS coordinates. Asset owners get targeted clearing schedules, not blanket vegetation removal.

Transport route clearance mapping — for road and rail corridors, we've mapped vegetation encroachments into design envelopes, overhead clearance zones, and sight distances. This is critical for new corridor planning, upgrade design, and ongoing maintenance programs where overgrown vegetation creates safety and compliance risks for transport operators.

The combination of ground surface data, full canopy modelling, and high-res drone imagery gives engineers and asset managers a complete dataset — delivered faster and safer than traditional ground survey in difficult terrain.

Get in touch if you've got vegetation challenges on your next project.

Road & Civil Surveys have been appointed to provide construction surveying services on the M5 Westbound Upgrade Project — a design and construct contract awarded to Seymour Whyte by Transport for NSW, with construction commencing in 2026.

The project will reduce congestion and remove existing traffic weaves on the westbound carriageway of the M5 Motorway, improve access to the Liverpool CBD, deliver a new 290-metre bridge over the Georges River with pedestrian and cyclist links, and strengthen freight connectivity to the Moorebank Intermodal Terminal. It's a significant investment in network reliability for one of Sydney's fastest growing corridors.

Our team will deliver surveying services for the new 290m bridge and associated civil and pavement works across the project — supporting the project team with design validation, construction set out, and as-built documentation in a live motorway environment. It's the kind of complex, staged infrastructure delivery where precision spatial data directly supports program, safety, and quality outcomes.

We're looking forward to working alongside Seymour Whyte and the wider project team on another major motorway project for Sydney's south-west.
