One of the biggest risks facing designers, engineers, and contractors is what lies beneath the surface: buried utilities. From gas and water mains to fibre optic cables and power lines, any mistake can be costly, not just in terms [...]
Reservoir spillways are one of the most important assets in the UK’s water infrastructure. They ensure the safe release of water, protect surrounding communities, and help secure long-term resource management. We recently carried out a detailed laser scanning survey [...]
Coastlines are constantly changing. From shifting sand dunes to eroding cliffs, the dynamic nature of our shores presents real challenges for engineers, environmental scientists, and planners. We use LiDAR technology and drone surveys to capture high-resolution topographic data, helping [...]
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. [...]
Shorelines across the UK face increasing pressure from erosion, rising sea levels, and severe weather events. To safeguard these vulnerable environments, rock armour installations are a key defence, and to be able to design, monitor, and maintain such structures [...]
We work at the forefront of 3D reality capture. Whether you’re involved in architecture, construction, engineering, or asset management, two technologies have become essential tools for accurately documenting real-world environments: Laser Scanning (LiDAR) and Photogrammetry. But what’s the difference [...]
As Summer draws to a close, we have successfully completed the Summer 2025 coastal monitoring campaign, capturing vital data from across the UK coastline. These seasonal surveys provide accurate insights that help protect communities, infrastructure, and natural habitats from [...]
We understand the importance of protecting our cultural heritage while embracing the latest technology to do so. Historic buildings, whether castles, cathedrals, or civic landmarks, are rich in history but often fragile and difficult to document accurately. That’s where [...]
The future of road surveying is here—and it's fast, accurate, and remarkably efficient. At SurvOps, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this technological leap with our state-of-the-art mobile mapping service. Gone are the days of slow, labour-intensive [...]
At Survey Operations, we are proud to be one of the UK’s leading providers of inland river survey data for flood risk management (FRM) studies and hydraulic modelling. With project lengths ranging from just a few hundred metres to [...]
