About Us

The business was founded in 1956 by Noel Craven. In 1970, he was joined by Tom Elliston and two years later, with Donald Hayes, Craven, Elliston & Hayes was born. In the years since, CEH has been involved with the construction and on going operation of major infrastructure, including power stations, mines, quarries, roads and railways, conveyor systems (both underground and on the surface), electricity distribution and sewer and water reticulation. CEH has also been involved in various scales of industrial, commercial and domestic construction. CEH has vast experience in cadastral surveys for land development and easement acquisition, general boundary definition and general or historic titling issues. Our development work includes initial concept design and project feasibility, engineering design for subdivision infrastructure, planning and development approval, environmental reports and subdivision plan preparation and registration. CEH has been engaged in stockpile density and tonnage surveys since 1970. We constantly evaluate and analyse our systems as part of efforts to continually develop and improve our own methodology. CEH has 3 Registered Land Surveyors and a Registered Mine Surveyor who oversee the professional development of several graduate and undergraduate surveyors and survey technicians with the backing of competent and experienced drafting and clerical staff. The surveying industry utilises an exceptional amount of constantly evolving technology, and CEH is no exception with a continually updated range of modern robotic and GPS instruments, drone technology for the air, sonar for underwater and 3D CAD capabilities. At CEH Survey the client comes first. This is easily demonstrated through the fact that we have had a continuous working relationship with some of our clients for over 50 years!

“…when you can measure what you are speaking about, and can express it in numbers, you know something about it, but when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of the meagre and unsatisfactory kind…”

Lord Kelvin 1824-1907.
