TOPOGRAPHICAL LAND SURVEYS

A comprehensive land survey is one of the key tasks of any building development. An accurate and thorough survey provides the foundation for all future work to proceed with confidence, and increasingly, topographical surveys are a requirement to obtain the relevant planning consent.

Topographical Surveys display accurate representations of existing features within the relevant site boundaries, which will form the basis of design for any new projects.

Our Topographical Surveys accurately record and plot buildings, roads, footpaths, kerb lines, overhead cables, fences, trees, planting areas, surface material types, service cover locations, and any other critical information required.

The topographical survey will also show contours and a detailed level of information which will be used in the design of new buildings, new roads and services, along with landscaping features. A comprehensive land survey will not only provide the boundary and detail within in a site, but also potential restrictions and problems that may be encountered.

We use only the latest survey technology, including Trimble S7 Robotic Total Stations. The speed of data acquisition is a marked improvement on the two-man operation. The instrument not only surveys faster but it cuts out the need for an assistant. A saving that is passed onto the customer.

A crucial component of the Trimble S7 is direct reflex measurement. Clients are increasingly asking for ridge and eave levels of buildings. With direct reflex technology it is possible to quickly and accurately measure objects that are impossible to access.

To process data, we use a combination of LSS and AutoCAD software. The finished product can be a paper plot or a DWG/DXF drawing file emailed or shared through our server facility.
