Site Setting Out

Site Setting Out

Whether we are asked to peg out highway boundaries or setting out a centre line with offsets, our Engineers and office based staff work together to ensure that you get your design placed where it was intended, and more importantly to the required accuracy. Setting out foundations, block or brickwork, pinning out preliminary designs, positioning roof or steel structures, providing level datums at all stages of construction, we can do it all.

The co-ordination and location of permanent markers to withstand the rigours of site operations are also required and we can provide relocatable points of reference to either Ordnance Survey control or arbitrary grid data. We perform topographical surveys before or after site work, to ascertain quantity of land removed or working along side ground workers to define levels for foundation or final profiles. Relocating existing property boundaries from title deeds or registry plans, or assisting in the definition of new or disputed ones, we are frequently called on to establish/confirm fence lines or wall positions.

Provision of the above information can be issued in 3 dimensions for input into a BIM system for total management of a building or construction project.

Long & Cross Sections

Long & Cross Sections

Provision of long and cross sections from, for instance ditch or river surveys can be provided preferably from a digital terrain model (DTM) of the site. This information could then be used for calculations of flows and volumes in a hydraulic model.
Detailed Highway Surveys

Detailed Highway Surveys

Detailed Highway Surveys are generally conducted along main roads and streets, require great attention to detail. Along with our normal survey considerations, there are usually issues such as traffic, personnel and the public safety to consider. This especially where large amounts of time are required in the road, due to extra detail required such as; road markings, lane delineation and central reservation information. Roads are normally surveyed to extents of highway boundary, although clients sometimes require, with permission from property owners, to give them information on adjoining building, positions of trees and other relevant detail when planning, large ‘above road’ structures.

3D Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning

The relatively new technology of 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create ‘point clouds’ of data from the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape.

Using either our Leica P40 scanner or our FARO X 130 3D scanner enables us to record information from site accurately and quickly and in a format that can easily be transferred into design drawings.

Our specialist team of experienced surveyors are able to capture data at a rate of up to 1 million points per second, as a result measurements can be made quickly and easily without return visits to site.

We currently offer the use of the laser scanner for various different services:

Detailed measured building surveys
Street scene elevation surveys
Highway surveys
As-Built surveys
Monitoring
Heritage scanning for posterity
Inaccessible and hazardous locations

We can present the data to you in the following formats:

2D drawings (Elevations, Cross Sections, Floor Plans)
Point Cloud
3D Model
BIM / Revit Models
