Geospatial, Topographic and Measured Surveys

We have relied upon a Total Station for many years to provide us with mm accurate measured surveys of both land and buildings. This has proved invaluable in terms of the design service we can offer by ensuring that we have reliable and precise existing drawings of the site levels and the surrounding topography, and especially existing buildings upon which we are working.

A Topcon DSi Robotic Total Station with a satellite GPS positioning receiver currently provides the accuracy and reliability required for all surveys undertaken. This system allows our team to know exactly where they are in the country to an accuracy of a few millimeters, and is operated by one person. However, measured surveys are often carried out by two of the team, where one operates the Topcon Total Station and the other undertakes internal building measurements using Disto Lazer measurement technology.

How it works and How it Helps on Site

The Topcon instrument uses a Windows based site computer with specialised software that allows us to also set out points on site quickly and accurately. We can take a CAD drawing, upload this to the site computer and then plot lines, points, and curves with ease.

In addition to using the equipment to measure all our own design projects, we also offer the following services to both individual clients and other professionals such as architects, garden designers, and solicitors:

Measured surveys of land
Measured surveys of existing buildings including internal floor plans
Boundaries, both existing and setting out.
Production of Plans for Land Registry purposes and disputes

Setting out pile locations for a new build house

Design, and then setting out a 5000 cu’ metre reservoir shown nearing completion.
