Understanding a reservoir’s structure, depth, and capacity is critical for safe management and long-term sustainability. Our specialist surveyors combine advanced technology with decades of experience to deliver high-accuracy hydrographic and land survey data for reservoir projects across the UK.
The Importance of Reservoir Surveys for Safety and Sustainability
Reservoirs are dynamic environments. Over time, siltation, erosion, and structural changes can affect their storage capacity and safety. Accurate mapping helps:
- Monitor water levels and sedimentation
- Assess structural integrity and embankments
- Support environmental management
- Provide reliable data for design consultants and civil engineers
This is where a trusted surveying company becomes vital. With our blend of topographical survey expertise and hydrographic survey capabilities, we help asset owners and engineering companies make informed decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and future planning.
Advanced Technology for Reservoir Surveying
Every reservoir can offer information, sometimes hidden below the waterline. Our teams can use:
- GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) for precise positioning on site
- Sonar systems to map underwater terrain in high detail
- 3D Laser Scanning to capture embankments, spillways, and surrounding infrastructure
- UAV flight surveying to provide aerial context and imagery
By integrating data from multiple sources, our approach ensures clients get clear, actionable insights.
Supporting Sustainable Water Management
Through detailed surveys and mapping, we help local authorities, utility providers, and private operators manage these resources responsibly.
Our commitment to precision surveying ensures every project benefits from the most up-to-date methods, reducing risks, saving money, and supporting sustainability goals.
