Surveying Services
Our surveying team provides professional CAT and Genny utility detection and GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) surveys, delivering accurate subsurface information essential for safe and efficient civil engineering works.
Compliant with HSG47 guidelines for safe excavation practices, our surveys help identify buried utilities and potential clashes before works begin, reducing risk and preventing costly service strikes.
Setting Out Engineering
Our setting out services provide precise alignment and positioning of every critical structure on site, ensuring each element is located exactly to design specification. Using advanced GPS and robotic total stations, our engineers transfer data from design drawings directly to the ground, eliminating the potential for error and ensuring project accuracy from the very start.
By removing manual calculations and paper drawings, we reduce mistakes that compromise project integrity and help contractors streamline construction, maintain dimensional control, and build exactly as designed.
Setting Out Scope
- GPS and robotic total station setting out
- Transfer of design data directly from drawings to site
- Setting out of foundations, walls, columns and levels
- Drainage and underground utility positioning
- Steel structure and holding-down bolt positioning
- Concrete shutter lines, slab extents and glazing alignments
- As-built verification and dimensional control
- Elimination of manual on-site calculations and paper drawings
