Our beginnings

Auspat Land Survey Australia grew out of a survey business established in Hong Kong in 1996 by its Australian owners and directors, Colin McIntosh and Paul Banks. The Hong Kong company undertook major infrastructure survey assignments across Taiwan, the Philippines and Hong Kong, including providing survey excellence on the runways of the Hong Kong International Airport.

Over the next 8 years, Colin and Paul forged a reputation in Hong Kong for providing expert technical know-how combined with an innovative approach and hard work. This secured Auspat Hong Kong major contracts on some of the iconic projects that now form part of the world famous Hong Kong skyline. In 2004, Auspat’s Australian Directors embarked on a similar journey back home in Australia, perceiving the emergence of positive opportunities. One of the first contracts was work on the M7 Westlink Toll Road in Sydney.

Business Growth

From those early beginnings, Auspat Land Survey Australia has emerged as one of the leading large infrastructure land surveying firms in Australia.

For over 15 years, Auspat has provided qualified survey personnel to all the leading construction companies in Australia including Abigroup, Leightons, Lendlease, John Holland, Thiess and Baulderstone.

Auspat have been involved in many of the largest infrastructure projects in Australia over many years. From the M7 in Sydney, to Eastlink in Melbourne, the Gateway Duplication in Brisbane and the Superway in Adelaide, Auspat has had the opportunity to provide survey resources on most of the biggest projects Australia has built.

Auspat continues on a growth trajectory under the leadership of Colin McIntosh and Paul Banks. Both Directors operate as Survey Managers, maintaining a hands on approach to all projects, supporting Auspat survey teams in the field wherever they are located.

Auspat’s mission to strive for continuous improvement has led to formal accreditation for ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, ISO 45001 OHS Management Systems and ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems.
