Our Services
We can offer the following survey services:
Topographic Surveys
A topographic survey is a vital component in the design process for a site, and should be commissioned before any detailed design works takes place. An accurate survey can prevent costly assumptions being made about the size of the site, or about other constraints such as site levels and heights and positions of surrounding buildings.
We have vast experience in carrying out topographic surveys, and it is the core of our business. Our surveyors use Trimble S6 and 5600 Robotic Total Stations, and Trimble 5700 and 5800 GPS receivers to carry out our surveys. These instruments are also capable of reflectorless measurement, which means we can survey previously inaccessible points. This is particularly useful for surveying heights and positions of buildings which overlook development sites.
Our surveyors edit their own surveys in order to ensure that all possible detail is recorded and presented correctly.

GPS Surveys
As well as conventional GPS equipment which utilises a base station to provide data, we also have invested in the Trimble VRS system, which is capable of real time co-ordinated points to National Grid. This will give level data suitable for submission to the Environment Agency for flood risk assessments
Quarry/Landfill Surveys
We have long term contracts with major quarry and landfill operators to provide volumetric surveys and update surveys on quarries and landfill sites. We provide surveys of product stockpiles, face updates using reflectorless instruments, and independent volume verification for earthworks and stockpiles.
Measured Building Surveys
We have experience in a wide range of measured building surveys, from conversions of farm buildings, to surveys of department stores and office blocks. Survey information provided can range from basic floor plans to plans of fixtures/fittings and services.
We can also provide full detailed building elevations, using reflectorless survey instruments to accurately capture data.

Example Plans 2 - Floorplan (pdf)
Engineering Surveys
We can provide a full range of surveying services for design and construction of civil engineering projects. The development of robotic survey instruments now allows the surveyor to be at the setting out end of the operation rather than behind the instrument.
