Land Surveying

Survey Operations has had 32 years of undertaking and producing measured land surveys for our clients, which range from small development schemes of just a few acres to large-scale redevelopment projects covering hundreds of hectares.

Land Surveying Technology

Using state-of-the-art equipment with reflectorless and robotic Total-Stations and combining GNSS technology to further data collecting efficiency, together with specialist software, allows the preparation of 2D and 3D digital information. In addition, Survey Operations also adopt Laser Scanning equipment aided by UAV/Drone technology to access difficult and dangerous locations.

Topographical Surveys

Survey Operations have been a major provider of topographical surveys for many of the UK’s major urban regeneration projects in our 32-year history.

From day 1 of the ‘Salford Quays’ / ‘Media City’ project, we prepared the control and original topographical mapping to develop the former ‘Manchester Docks’. Initially installing site control through to the as-constructed/supervision of the Malls in ‘Manchester’s Trafford Centre’.

Volume Surveys

Survey Operations can provide volume quantities from our digitally measured survey data, from a small mound of material to vast quarry excavations.

Having years of experience working with major quarrying and landfill clients, we pride ourselves on providing a professional service in this industry sector.

A topographical survey maps the natural and man-made features of a land area, including elevations, contours, trees, buildings, and roads. It provides a comprehensive representation of the site’s physical characteristics, aiding in design and planning processes.

“Topo survey” is a shorthand term for a topographical survey, which details the terrain and features of a land area.

Precise levelling is a surveying technique used to determine the exact elevation of points on the Earth’s surface. It involves high-accuracy measurements to establish benchmarks for construction, engineering, and mapping projects.

Land surveying employs various tools and technologies, including total stations, GPS equipment, 3D laser scanners, and UAVs (drones). These instruments collect accurate data on land features and boundaries.
