About Us
Quickclose was founded in 1998 primarily to develop surveying software for HP Graphing Calculators. Since 2000, Quickclose has diversified its services into Geomatics and GNSS (including GPS), providing specialised geodetic services for a wide range of clients. We are based in Melbourne, Australia.

Experience
Richard Stanaway has extensive surveying and geodetic experience in a highly diverse range of environments. After a stint in the Royal Australian Artillery as a Survey Section Commander, he was employed as a survey assistant at Phil Hooi Surveys and Kent & Curdie Surveyors in Sydney. Richard completed his Surveying Degree at QUT in Brisbane, spending some time as an undergraduate Mining surveyor at the Saraji open cut coal mine in Central Queensland as well doing temporary work in the UK. During his final year, he developed the Quickclose surveying and geodesy software for the HP48 calculator for which he was awarded Queensland Young Surveyor of the Year in 1998.
After completing his degree, he was employed by CPS Palanga Surveys in Papua New Guinea and appointed as the Senior Surveyor for the Morobe Gold Exploration Project at Hidden Valley, near Wau until 2000. Richard then spent two further years in PNG extending and observing the geodynamic monitoring nationwide network of GPS stations as part of a Plate tectonics study for the Australian National University's Research School of Earth Sciences. This work morphed into his own Master's research, developing a semi-dynamic geodetic datum for PNG. During this time he also conducted high precision GPS surveys in Antarctica and the South Australian seismic zone.
Since 2005, Richard has been consulting as a geodetic surveyor and analyst for Oil Search in PNG as well as providing GPS support for Australian and PNG survey companies including Fugro Spatial Solutions and Asia-Pacific Surveys. Richard is an active member of the Spatial Sciences Institute, running workshops, seminars as well as conducting geodetic research.
