Engineering Survey.

A topographical survey is an accurate depiction of the terrain of a property or area of land, defined by boundaries, which is scaled and detailed according to spatial considerations and is a summary of the on-site data capture processes.

The purpose is to gather spatial information relating to the site, natural and man-made land features alike. It is typically accepted that points are positioned in three dimensions, which facilitates ground modelling and visualisations to be produced from the topographical survey.

Additional information can often be integrated into topographical surveys, helping a design team account for the necessary and relevant site constraints. This can include site sections through particularly diverse gradient transects, spot heights of surrounding land and site features — neighbouring properties, to assess overlooking — and underground utilities information, from radar tracing and integrating utility records data. Over the years, we have produced some of the most reliable topographic surveys for our wide range of clients, saving time and monetary resources in relation to construction and planning purposes.

This is a survey process applied to set out the exact position of a projected structure within the project site. The objective of setting out is to establish the precise position and levels of building lines and road alignments for a projected construction work, as per construction plans, by applying different techniques and instruments.

We have extensive experience conducting setting out surveys, utilising building coordinates, levels and total stations, examining formwork verticality, and performing control and computation for route surveying.
