SURVEYING & ENGINEERING

Cosmicore applies professional surveying, engineering, and data management systems to support the planning, design, and delivery of mining and infrastructure projects in Papua New Guinea.

The company utilises contemporary engineering and geospatial tools to assist with site assessment, design coordination, construction control, and compliance. These systems support accuracy, efficiency, and informed decision-making across the project lifecycle.

Surveying and engineering activities are undertaken in accordance with applicable standards and project requirements, with outputs used to support approvals, construction supervision, and quality assurance.

Cosmicore’s approach combines international professional experience with local operating knowledge to deliver practical, reliable outcomes appropriate to project scale and conditions.

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.
