Work

By 1870, the ‘F’ Pit was the major coal outlet for the New Washington Colliery. Over the years, the pit has survived explosions, been re-modelled and modernised before finally drawing its last coal in 1968. Following the closure, the National Coal Board gifted the impressive winding house and headgear to the town of Washington.

In the first half of 2018, Landform Surveys completed three huge Highway Surveys across the North East of the UK. We are very proud of our land and road survey team for getting all three finished by August, especially considering the scale of each project.

While the majority of the building surveys that we do are for commercial properties, we also conduct domestic measured building surveys for homes of all sizes.

We have worked at quarries all over the country for many years, providing extraction quantities, stockpile surveys, overburden check surveys, and setting out.

Participating in environmental initiatives is a regular part of surveying as we work with a number of engineering and environmental consultancies.

We have worked extensively on National Grid Properties sites, surveying many gas holder sites all over the country.

Often when surveying historic buildings we come across many challenges, which limits the types of surveys available.

It’s not every day that we get both the opportunity to work on a photo montage survey thats inside the grounds of a royal palace, so we jumped at the chance to work on this project.

Roofs can one of the more challenging structures to survey, often requiring scaffolding and posing health and safety hazards in order to product a quality survey.

Precise monitoring surveys can be used to monitor movement on a building or structure that shows previous signs of movement or may be susceptible to movement or damage in the future.

Flooding is becoming increasingly more common, leaving lasting consequences for landowners and homeowners.

This year, Landform Surveys have been asked to survey many large scale highways projects, such as the M1 in Leeds, & the A19 in Durham.

Following extreme flooding events in and around Newcastle in 2012, Landform Surveys were commissioned by Capita to produce topographic surveys of over 20 sites in North Tyneside to enable flood mitigation methods to be designed.

Landform Surveys were commissioned by Northumberland County Council to produce topographic surveys and elevations of over 20 structures and bridges throughout Northumberland.

Landform Surveys are proud to have worked with Lidl UK for over 15 years, and have been heavily involved in their expansion programme in the UK.
