Land Surveys

A topographical land survey (also known as a topo survey) provides an accurate record of the natural and built features of a site. Using advanced surveying equipment including robotic total stations, GNSS/GPS technology, laser scanning and UAVs where appropriate, we capture detailed spatial data to create an accurate representation of the existing environment.

Topographical surveys form the foundation of successful planning, design and construction projects. They identify the position, dimensions and levels of features such as buildings, roads, kerbs, boundaries, walls, utilities, trees, drainage assets, street furniture and changes in ground level, giving designers and engineers the information they need to make informed decisions.

Our land surveys support a wide range of sectors including residential and commercial developments, highways, infrastructure, utilities, industrial sites, renewable energy projects and environmental assessments. Every survey is carried out to an agreed specification, ensuring the level of detail is appropriate for your project's requirements.

Highway surveys provide the accurate spatial data required for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of roads, highways and transport infrastructure. Using the latest surveying technology, including robotic total stations, GNSS/GPS, laser scanning and our advanced mobile mapping system, we efficiently capture highly detailed data across live highway environments while minimising disruption to road users.

Our mobile mapping technology enables rapid collection of millions of georeferenced survey points, imagery and asset information from a moving vehicle, making it ideal for surveying extensive road networks safely and efficiently. Combined with conventional surveying techniques, this provides a comprehensive dataset tailored to your project's requirements.

Highway surveys are essential for highway improvement schemes, junction redesigns, active travel projects, utility works, drainage design, asset management and maintenance programmes. Every survey is completed to an agreed specification, ensuring engineers and designers receive accurate, reliable information for confident decision-making.

As-built surveys accurately record completed construction works, providing a precise comparison between the finished asset and the original design. Using advanced surveying equipment, we measure structures, infrastructure and site features to verify dimensions, locations and levels.

As-built surveys play a vital role in quality assurance, project handover, asset management and regulatory compliance. They provide confidence that construction has been completed in accordance with design requirements while identifying any variations that may require further attention.

Hydraulic surveys provide the detailed topographical and structural information required for hydraulic modelling, flood risk assessments and drainage design. We accurately survey rivers, culverts, channels, bridges, drainage infrastructure and surrounding terrain to support water management projects.

Reliable survey data enables engineers to assess flood risk, model water flow and develop effective drainage and flood mitigation solutions. Every survey is undertaken to meet the specific requirements of hydraulic consultants and engineering teams.

Monitoring surveys provide high-precision measurements to detect movement within structures, infrastructure and the surrounding ground over time. Using established control networks and precision survey equipment, we monitor even the smallest changes in position or elevation.

Monitoring surveys are widely used on construction projects, retaining structures, bridges, railways, embankments, historic buildings and areas affected by excavation or ground movement. Regular monitoring provides valuable information that supports safety, compliance and long-term asset management.

Our site engineering services provide the accurate setting out and surveying support required throughout the construction process. Working closely with contractors and project teams, we ensure structures and infrastructure are positioned precisely in accordance with design specifications.

From initial control establishment through to final verification surveys, we support projects of all sizes with reliable engineering survey services that help maintain programme, quality and accuracy.

Land Registry surveys provide accurate plans and measurements to support property registration, boundary clarification, lease plans and legal documentation. Our surveys are completed to the appropriate standards, ensuring plans are suitable for submission where required.

Whether supporting residential, commercial or development projects, we produce clear, accurate survey information that assists solicitors, architects, developers and property owners.

Volumetric surveys accurately calculate the volume of stockpiles, excavations, earthworks and stored materials using modern surveying technology including GNSS, total stations, laser scanning and UAV surveys where appropriate.

Accurate volume calculations support commercial reporting, project planning, quarry management, landfill operations and construction earthworks, enabling clients to effectively monitor material quantities and project progress.
