Boundary Surveys
When a plot of land is merged or sub-divided, a simple survey relating to some physical attributes on the site, together with some critical dimensions will eliminate any doubt over the exact boundary line.
Our Housing Developer clients need to know very precisely where their boundary is so that they can cost plan and design housing layouts. Many of the boundaries have no physical feature, such as a hedge or fence.
With our survey data, our clients minimise the risk of potentially very costly boundary disputes with the adjacent landowners who may have conflicting information.
BOUNDARY DISPUTES
Boundary Disputes can and do arise over very minor issues. A shared access drive being repeatedly blocked or a garden shed erected which blocks light to the adjoining land, can give rise to a dispute.
We are experts in Boundary Law, and can provide advise and recommended courses of action that may resolve a dispute, before it becomes a potentially very costly legal issue.
UNDERGROUND & DRAINAGE
Underground features are just as important to many of our clients as the above ground features.
Particularly in urban areas, there may be a multitude of underground services and drains crossing a development site, all of which could help or hinder the realisation of the project.
Using our underground tracing equipment and manhole lifting equipment, we are able to ascertain the types and depths of most underground services, thus enabling our clients to utilise or avoid existing services and drains.
This information is reproduced in digital format and can be used as stand alone data or as part of the overall spatial data relating to a project.
STRUCTURAL MONITORING & DEFORMATION
Engineering Projects can sometimes destabilise adjacent land or buildings and cause them to subside or move. So when engineering works are being carried out in sensitive areas, by putting in control points on stable ground near the site, we are able to monitor any feature to establish it’s movement over time during the engineering phase.
We are able to measure minute movements in any direction using our high precision equipment. Our software then produces a vector graph of movement over time for all pre-determined monitoring points so that we can look for any trends in direction.
Monitoring keeps the risk of damage or subsidence to an absolute minimum, as any signs of too much movement will be noticed immediately and can be acted upon.
