Schlencker Mapping Pty Ltd, a Queensland based aerial mapping and surveying company, has announced that it has signed a joint venture agreement with Stewart Weir and Company Ltd, a Geomatics and Engineering company from Alberta, Canada; to provide Pipeline Construction Survey and Mapping Services to the burgeoning Liquid Natural Gas sector in Queensland Australia. Due to the worldwide demand for gas as a clean fuel alternative to fight global warming, Queensland’s rapid expansion in the Coal Seam Gas sector makes it one of the fastest growing places in the world to operate.
"We are very excited about welcoming Stewart Weir to work with us here in Australia.” said Tony Schlencker, the founding director of Schlencker Mapping. “Australia has recently approved several significant LNG and CSG pipeline projects. Canadian firms are well respected here and are world leaders in this sector. These projects should provide the stimulus for Australia to help lead the world in providing cleaner energy sources. Our new partners bring an impressive track record in ‘pipelining’ ‘down under’. We are very pleased to be working with them."
Brian Pearse, CEO of Stewart Weir added “As a leader in Alberta’s pipeline survey sector, Stewart Weir welcomes the opportunity to showcase our capabilities to the Australian gas industry. This presents a tremendous chance for us to leverage our world class skill sets in the Queensland pipeline sector. We look forward to the opportunity to expand our geographic reach into this market by working with Schlencker Mapping, a local leader possessing ideal complementary services to our pipeline and industrial survey skill sets.”
