Baseline Surveys Biography
Starting out his career 1989 with a degree in Civil Engineering, Paudie Barry worked as an Engineering Surveyor on two thrust bore tunneling contracts on the London Water Ring Main project. He returned to his native Ireland in 1990 to set up Baseline Surveys ltd at the age of 22.
With already a very strong background in high accuracy, Baseline Surveys Ltd started surveying commercially for a variety of large Irish civil engineering projects such as national primary roads works, track rails, bridges and tunnels. Baseline Surveys Ltd earned its reputation for highly accurate land survey work many years before Ireland’s construction boom even started. By 2007 Baseline Surveys had already carried out over 3500 topographical, building and engineering surveys for a variety of clients including government agencies, local authorities, leading consulting engineers, architects developers, and civil engineering contractors using Robotic Total Stations, RTK GPS and AutoCAD.
Currently commercially offering Drone Aerial Photogrammetry GIS data capture services, Baseline Surveys Ltd.’s MD; Paudie Barry has been invited into University College Cork's Geography Department as a guest lecturer on the subject of drone mapping technology to their Remote Sensing masters students. Baseline Surveys Ltd currently claim to produce (as far as I can tell) the world’s most accurate aerial photogrammetry with a maximum RMSE of only 5cm over a 5 acre study area.
