We can provide a Measurement Service for a whole range of projects, but generally our services can be defined under three headings;

Topographical (Land) Surveys

'Topographical Surveys' is a term which covers a wide range of projects, however generally they will include;

              Area and Volume Calculations                           Land Registry Surveys               
              As-built Surveys                                                 Monitoring Surveys
              Boundary Surveys and Disputes                         Highway Surveys                
              Cut and Fill Analysis                                          Quarry Face Surveys
              Digital Terrain Models                                       River and Flood Risk Surveys
              GPS Control Surveys                                         Tree Surveys                           

 

We can provide Topographical surveys at all scales and levels of detail. We can specifically tailor the survey to the requirements of the client. However, a 'typical' survey will include all topographical   features on the site, both man made and natural, such as buildings, roads, trees, utility covers, boundary features etc.

Additional information, such as manhole Invert Levels, Ridge and Eave Heights of buildings, tree girth and spread's can also be surveyed.

The survey can be related to Ordnance Survey National Grid and Datum, using GPS, or to a local Grid orientated to North.

All our surveys are produced in 3-Dimensions, which means a X, Y and Z is available for each and every surveyed point. This information is especially useful when producing Digital Terrain Models.

We can produce the survey in a format to suit the clients requirements, however the most common formats are;

• 2D AutoCAD .dwg / dxf
• 3D AutoCAD .dwg / dxf
• Paper Plots at various scales and layouts
• Moss GENIO format
• ASCII files

Below are a couple of examples of recent Topographical Surveys, however please contact us for examples which are relevant to the type of site you require to be surveyed.

Measured Building Surveys

We provide internal and external 'As-built' drawings of all types of buildings, ranging from residential properties, barns, retail and office units, through to car plants and factories.

We can now also provide 3D Floor Plans and 3D Walk-throughs. Please click the following Link to view an example of this service walkthrough.wmv

 

             Full internal and External Surveys                             Full Elevational Surveys
             Floor Plans                                                                Rights of Light Surveys
             3D Modelling and Visualisations                               'Streetscene' Surveys               
             Sections                                                                      Internal Elevations

 

We use a variety of data collection methods, depending on the project. We have at our disposal laser distance measurers, Fully Robotic Total Stations, capable of measuring remotely to almost any surface and 3D Laser Scanning Techniques. We can use all or just one of these methods to capture the data we require.

The level of detail to be surveyed can include the building footprint, internal walls, beams, columns, window and door positions etc, but the survey will always be undertaken to the clients specification and timescales.

Additional information can also be surveyed, such as Gross Internal Floor Areas, Utilities, table and seating positions, switches etc, please contact us for further details.

We can also provide plans for Planning Applications.

Engineering Services

We provide a comprehensive engineering service and we have been involved in numerous engineering projects, including experience in providing a full engineering service for clients.

This includes;

               Boundaries                                                         Road and Sewers
               Housing Developments                                       Retail Units        
               Industrial and Commercial                               

All of our Robotic Total Stations are capable of uploading coordinate data in a variety of formats, quickly determining the point to be set-out and record a Quality Assurance Tolerance Check of the stakeout point. The client receives a CAD or Paper Checkplot of the stakeout points and also a Quality Assurance file listing the accuracy of the stakeout points.

Please click here for an example of a QA File.

Once the development is complete we provide a full detailed 'As-built' survey suitable for both Section 38 and Section 104 Submission. Unlike other survey companies, we have first hand experience of the Adoption Process and our drawings provide all the necessary details, such as Sewer gradients, pipe sizes, colouring etc. for Local Authority and United Utilities submissions.

Equipment

We believe the client deserves the best possible service, which means we are continually investing in the best equipment available. This ensures reliability, accuracy and efficiency, meaning less valuable time spent on site.

Our instrumentation is capable of working in all conditions, be it rain or freezing conditions, hot and dusty environments, night or day.

We currently utilise Trimble Robotic Total Stations and GPS equipment.
