CES Surveyors

What is a topographical land survey?

A topographical survey or land survey is an accurate representation of the area of interest showing all natural and man-made features with associated levels. Represented as three dimensional points, all features including the property, land features and physical boundary details are presented on a scaled survey drawing.

What survey technology do you use?

We use Trimble S6 and S7 Robotic Total Stations, R10 GPS, and X7 3D Laser Scanner. The speed of data acquisition is a marked improvement on the 2- 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 S Series instruments is direct reflex measurement.

What format will be used to supply our survey data?

To process data, we use a combination of LSS and AutoCAD software. The finished product can be a plot or a DWG/DXF drawing file. For point clouds we can export a variety of file formats. Please feel free to get in contact with us if you have additional requirements so we can advise further.

What are the benefits of undertaking a land survey?

Architects, engineers and developers need precise information to plan site development from inception to completion. 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. The benefits of commissioning a site survey cannot be understated.

What detail do you include in measured building surveys?

The detail included in a measured building survey will depend on your requirements, and will vary for the purposes of design, planning or feasibility. The structural elements including walls, columns and beams are shown on the floor plans, elevations, and sections. Features such as doors, windows, services fittings can then be added as requested.
