Underground Utility Mapping
Our PAS128-compliant utility mapping services identify buried infrastructure using ground-penetrating radar and trial hole verification. This critical data reduces excavation risks for infrastructure projects across the UK and Ireland. Clients receive detailed digital records compatible with BIM workflows.
Laser Scanning
High-precision laser scanning captures complex structures in intricate detail, producing point cloud data for heritage preservation and construction projects. Our equipment operates in challenging environments including railway track possessions and historic buildings.
Measured Building Surveys
We create accurate floor plans and elevations using the latest surveying technology, adhering to RICS and IPMS standards. These surveys support property transactions, refurbishment projects and asset management across commercial and historic buildings.
Topographical Surveys
Detailed terrain mapping services capture natural and man-made features for planning applications and construction projects. Our surveys integrate seamlessly with CAD and GIS systems, supporting developments from single dwellings to national infrastructure.
UAV Surveys
Aerial surveys using drones provide rapid site data collection for large areas. This cost-effective solution generates orthomosaic maps and 3D models for construction monitoring, quarry management and environmental assessments across the UK.
