Services
Measured Building Surveying
We produce detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections using advanced surveying technology. Our service supports architectural projects, property renovations, and building documentation requirements. Clients benefit from accurate dimensional data essential for construction planning and heritage preservation.
Utility Surveying
Our non-intrusive utility surveying identifies underground services including water, gas, and electrical infrastructure. This service prevents excavation damage and supports safe site development through precise location mapping using electromagnetic detection and ground-penetrating radar.
Bathymetric Surveying
We conduct underwater topographic surveys of rivers, canals, and lakes using radio-controlled vessels or manned boats. This service provides critical data for flood risk assessment, dredging operations, and aquatic habitat management through accurate bed level measurements.
Site Engineering
Our site engineering services establish precise construction reference points using GPS and robotic total stations. This supports infrastructure projects through accurate positioning of buildings, roads, and utilities to ensure compliance with design specifications.
Volume Calculations
We create 3D ground models to calculate cut and fill volumes for construction sites. This service optimises material usage, reduces transportation costs, and supports landfill management through detailed phasing plans and stockpile calculations.
