Geodetski zavod Rijeka d.o.o. is a Croatian employee-owned geodetic surveying firm founded in 1961 and headquartered in Rijeka, Primorsko-goranska county. It provides land and marine geodetic services including cadastral surveys, engineering geodesy, hydrographic surveys, cartography, photogrammetry, GIS/WebGIS solutions, and 3D BIM modeling. The company holds official authorization from the Croatian State Geodetic Administration (DGU) and multiple IHO hydrographic certifications, making it the largest and longest-operating geodetic firm in Primorsko-goranska county.

The company's technical infrastructure spans terrestrial, aerial, and marine domains. It operates a Leica PegasusTwo mobile laser scanner for roadway and infrastructure surveying, a Stonex X120Go handheld SLAM scanner for confined-space 3D capture, certified drones for aerial photogrammetry with SORA approval, and a Kongsberg EM2040P multibeam echosounder with IHO S-44 compliance for hydrographic and seabed mapping. Data processing is supported by Teledyne CARIS software for hydrographic workflows, and the company produces 3D point clouds, BIM models, digital orthophotos, and batymetric charts for clients including government agencies, construction firms, port authorities, and tourism enterprises.

The business operates as a B2B and B2G professional services firm, generating revenue through public procurement contracts and direct engagements. Its primary customer segments are government institutions (DGU, municipalities, HAC, port authorities), construction and infrastructure companies, local government units requiring GIS solutions, and maritime operators.

Core offering

Geodetski zavod Rijeka is a professional geodetic surveying firm providing cadastral surveys, engineering geodesy, hydrographic/marine surveys, cartography, photogrammetry, and GIS/WebGIS solutions for government agencies, local municipalities, and private clients in Croatia. The firm supplements these traditional surveying services with advanced-technology offerings including drone-based aerophotogrammetry, mobile and SLAM laser scanning, 3D point cloud/BIM modeling, and digital orthophoto production.

Product overview

Geodetski zavod Rijeka d.o.o. is a surveying and mapping services company offering a portfolio of interconnected geodetic services. The core offerings include: cadastral surveying (Katastarska izmjera), hydrographic surveying (Hidrografska izmjera), cartography and photogrammetry (Kartografija i fotogrametrija), geodetic engineering services (Geodetski elaborati and Inženjerska geodezija), and geoinformatics (GIS/WebGIS and Software Solutions). These services are enhanced by advanced technology offerings including 3D modeling/BIM, digital orthophoto (DOF), mobile laser scanning, SLAM scanning, drone surveying, and roadway analysis. The company operates as a single unified service provider rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, with services often combined in client projects (e.g., fusing laser scanning with aerial photogrammetry for comprehensive 3D modeling).
