Understanding Your Site

We start with your terrain, not a template.

Every survey begins with a thorough desktop study — existing maps, aerial imagery, and client briefs — before a single instrument is deployed. This means we arrive on site with a plan, not questions.

Field Precision

Instruments calibrated to the millimetre.

Our field teams deploy the latest robotic total stations, GNSS rovers, and UAV platforms, all calibrated to international standards. We operate in all terrain conditions with zero compromise on accuracy.

Deliverables That Work

Data you can build, design, and decide with.

From CAD drawings and point clouds to BIM-ready models and GIS datasets — we produce outputs in the formats your engineering team actually uses, with thorough QA review on every deliverable.

1975

Before anyone knew it.

Mr. Akornor surveys the Tove River at the Ghana–Togo border. The dream begins here.

1976

Ghana's first private survey company.

June 1976 — Rudan Engineering Works is established. A founding team of four, a mission to map a nation.

1976–1996

From Wenchi to Koforidua — every town, precisely measured.

Town surveys across Ghana spanning two decades of national mapping.

1990s–2000s

Built to last. Built on the future.

New digital survey technology transforms the workflow — photogrammetry, digital editing and map production.

2002–2009

From the Volta to three nations.

The West Africa Gas Pipeline across Benin, Togo and Ghana. Bui Dam. JICA Bridges. VRA Power Lines.

Always

The best survey we ever did was people.

Rudan has trained generations of surveyors. KNUST students visit yearly. Staff trained locally and internationally.

1976–2026

50 years of precision. A lifetime of purpose.

Rudan Engineering Works. Ghana's first. Still first.

1976 — 2026

50 years of precision.
