Topographic Survey
We provide accurate hi-tech, high-precision topographical surveys. These are designed to gather data on the natural and manmade features of the land, and the contours of the terrain itself. This data is then analysed and interpreted into a 3D, easy-to-understand, base plan.
What is a topographic survey?
Topographical surveys provide the complete picture of your site above ground. They identify the boundaries of your land, existing building positions on or adjacent to your site, and all the road, path and railway locations. They also feature street furniture, watercourses, underground services, pipelines and trees.
Key Benefits
- When executed at the initial stages of a project, these checks prevent costly delays and help to keep projects on track and within budget
- Topographic surveys highlight issues around actual ground levels versus the proposed design levels
- They identify physical and legal boundaries of the site and ensure that they match up with current documentation
- When carried out in conjunction with our Underground Utilities Surveys, you can get the full picture above and below the ground
- Surveys supplied in BIM (Building Information Modelling) compatible software formats for the crucial first layer of building design
- Post construction or as-built surveys

Building the Maggies Centre at Clatterbridge was an incredibly important project for The Steve Morgan Foundation and ultimately for the people the centre will support. Creating the right environment at such a difficult juncture for these visitors is vital, and understanding the site was an important part in achieving this. We appreciate the support and pro bono services provided by Powers.
