OUR SERVICES
SITE ENGINEERING
Site engineering services play a critical role in the construction process, providing expertise and support to ensure the successful execution of a project. These services encompass a wide range of activities, including site investigation, surveying, and topographical mapping. Site engineers work closely with the design team and construction crew to establish the necessary groundwork, determine the optimal layout, and oversee the implementation of plans on-site.
TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS
Topographical surveys are detailed assessments of the natural and man-made features on a specific piece of land. These surveys provide crucial information about the elevation, contours, and physical characteristics of the site, including buildings, trees, bodies of water, and other relevant elements. By conducting topographical surveys, engineers and planners can gain a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, which is essential for making informed decisions during the design and construction phases of a project.
SETTING OUT
Setting out is a vital process in construction that involves marking the precise locations and dimensions of structures, roads, or other elements on a construction site. It ensures that the project is executed accurately and in accordance with the design plans. Surveyors and engineers use various tools and techniques to establish reference points, levels, and alignments, allowing construction teams to follow precise measurements and positioning during the building phase.
AS-BUILT SURVEYS
As-built surveys are conducted typically at the completion of a construction project to document the actual constructed conditions of the site and its improvements. These surveys serve as a comparison to the original design plans and specifications provided by the engineer during the planning phase. By conducting as-built surveys, engineers can ensure that the constructed elements align with the approved design and meet all required standards and regulations.
MACHINE CONTROL
Machine control for earth moving involves the creation of precise digital models and plans, which are then translated into real-time instructions for construction equipment. Through the integration of advanced technologies such as GPS, sensors, and software interfaces, these machines are guided to execute excavation and grading tasks with exceptional accuracy and efficiency, resulting in reduced material waste, optimised project timelines, and enhanced overall productivity in earth-moving operations.
The main goal of volume calculation is to find out a volume of material that was mined or heaped up in predefined area and to verify if the volume corresponds to the expected value stated in project documentation. The volume is determined by a difference of topographies from two survey phases or by a difference between the survey and the project documentation.
VOLUME ANALYSIS
PILING SETTING OUT
Piling setting out ensures each pile is positioned accurately before installation. Our engineers use high-precision instruments to mark out locations, levels and spacing so your foundation works start right first time
DESKTOP UTILITY SEARCHES
Desktop utility searches gather and review plans from all network providers. We compile and verify this information into a clear, combined drawing to support early design decisions and reduce excavation risks.
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES SURVEYS (PAS 128)
Our PAS 128 utility surveys give a clear, reliable picture of buried services. Using EML, GPR and utility records, we identify the route, depth and type of underground assets to support safe and informed construction planning.
GPR SURVEYS
Ground Penetrating Radar helps detect non-metallic and deep-buried services where EML is limited. Ideal for complex or sensitive sites, GPR offers a safe, non-intrusive way to understand what lies beneath the surface.
