On 12 December, the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held a meeting between students and representatives of Geoservice LLC, a leading company in land management, cadastral surveying, and urban planning.

Geoservice provides a full range of services in land management and cadastral activities, engineering surveys, urban planning, assessment and legal support, and geoinformation support for projects. At the meeting, students were given a detailed overview of the company's structure, the activities of its specialized departments, and actual projects implemented under government contracts.

Particular attention was given to the example of a government contract for the construction of an access road to the Kudrovo transport hub and the reconstruction of a traffic interchange on the R-21 Kola highway. Geoservice representatives clearly demonstrated the stages of project implementation, from preparatory work and adjustments to land use planning documentation to support land acquisition procedures, the establishment of easements, and cadastral surveys.

The presentation also covered the company's modern engineering survey methods, including aerial photography using unmanned aerial vehicles, mobile and airborne laser scanning, panoramic photography, and the creation of orthophotomaps and topographic maps. Requirements for the quality of geodata and its updating were also discussed, as was the use of geoinformation systems when working with large volumes of spatial information.

Geoservice is a reliable partner of SPbGASU and a key employer for students and graduates of the university in recent years. Such meetings allow students to better understand the specifics of their future profession, become familiar with real-life production challenges and employer requirements, and chart their professional development paths.
