ENGINEERING DESIGN, SURVEY & DATA SYSTEMS
Cosmicore applies professional engineering, surveying, and geospatial systems to support the planning, design, and delivery of infrastructure and resource projects in Papua New Guinea.
The company utilises contemporary digital design and survey tools to assist with:
• corridor and earthworks modelling
• drainage, utilities, and site layout planning
• survey control, boundary definition, and construction set-out
• data integration between survey, design, and construction
• quality assurance, as-built documentation, and reporting
These systems support accuracy, efficiency, and informed decision-making across the project lifecycle and are applied in accordance with project scope, approval requirements, and applicable standards.
Technical tools and methodologies are selected based on suitability to project scale, regulatory context, and operating conditions rather than brand or platform preference.

SPATIAL DATA & LANDOWNER MAPPING
Cosmicore utilises geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial data management tools to support landowner engagement, boundary identification, and project planning.
Spatial systems are applied to assist with:
• customary land and ILG boundary mapping
• project area definition and tenement management
• integration of spatial data with planning and approval processes
• maintenance of structured, auditable land and project records
All spatial data activities are conducted in accordance with applicable legal, regulatory, and landowner requirements.
WHY IT MATTERS
Cosmicore applies contemporary engineering, surveying, and spatial systems to support accuracy, transparency, and informed decision-making across project planning and delivery.
These systems assist with:
• improving design coordination and construction accuracy
• supporting clear, well-documented submissions to relevant authorities
• maintaining transparent records for landowner engagement and project oversight
• enabling disciplined planning and risk management throughout the project lifecycle
Technology is applied as a tool to support compliance, accountability, and practical delivery — selected based on suitability to project scope and operating conditions.
