Setting out

The nature of this industry is such that the provision of a survey is usually the first requirement of the job but the last to be thought about.

Therefore, on acceptance of our quotation we normally aim to start site work within a few days of instruction and supply the finished survey as soon as possible afterwards.

Setting Out

We offer a variety of setting out services from the initial site visit, checking control and ensuring that the project actually fits the site. This is normally followed up with periodic visits and often with an as built survey at the end of the project.

Site control & levelling

The survey control for the site can be long gone when the project commences. We are often asked to provide additional control or to establish a network of permanent ground markers for the project.
Markers are generally heighted by precise levelling methods.

Precise monitoring

Surveys are carried out over a period of time to monitor the possible settlement or movement of structures. This information related to a precise datum can often be used as a basis for insurance claims.

Former collery sites and slag heaps are monitored for slippage heave and signs of landslide.
