The price of progress Surveying has evolved over centuries, but the basics of trigonometry, levels and points have remained constants in some form or another. They have been honed and developed, but the end results – such as the creation of new structures, the collection of data and the generation of topographical or underground surveys …
For newly built structures, this plan can be engendered at the design stage, with provision made for a maintenance schedule, for example. Having a digital plan of the building from its inception can help it be better managed from the outset and ensure that all aspects of its construction remain in optimum condition. Such forward …
Digital twin technology can be used in all kinds of different industries and situations, and is particularly useful in the construction industry. A digital twin is a digital representation of an intended or an actual real-world physical product, system, or process – this is its physical twin. The digital twin serves as an indistinguishable counterpart …
According to Caitlin Ballard, international policy adviser at the Geospatial Commission: “Location is a thread that allows us to connect different datasets together to make them more useful. Geospatial technology is going to be increasingly embedded in our digital lives. Some commentators have recently coined the phrase ‘geoverse’ to articulate the critical role location data …
Above and beyond Broadly, both the main disciplines of surveying are involved with the planning and setting out of highways across the UK. Above ground, our surveyors will carry out the setting out of the route, its levels and contours, while above and below ground, topographical surveys and underground utility surveys can provide vital information …
A framework will generally include preferred suppliers from civil engineers and constructors, mechanical and electrical engineers, architects, cost consultants, land agents and more. However, the profession invariably missing is geospatial or land surveyors. Why aren’t geospatial surveys listed as a requirement on infrastructure and construction frameworks? There may be numerous reasons why this is the …
Time and space The site data provided by a measured survey is invariably crucial to the success of the final construction – whether it’s a new commercial building, a highway or a residential scheme for private or public clients. However, many measured surveys are requested at the last minute, even though they are an integral …
One of the big advantages of digital surveying is that information can be updated and amended at the touch of a button. This can be advantageous when planning a project and also during the construction phase too. In this blog, we’re going to look at why it’s important to carry out up-to-date topographical surveys at …
With our specialised skills, we’re able to provide accurate measurements, mapping of land, buildings and under the ground, providing survey drawings from which new construction plans and projects can be brought to life. Our expertise as land surveyors means we’re able to identify potential geospatial risks, provide the necessary data for design and construction and …
When it comes to working on a project, you want fast turnaround times, as time never seems to be on your side. Some survey companies will outsource their processing to other companies in other countries. This isn’t always a bad thing, as passing on geospatial data processing to an outsourced team means more people can …
