Engineering
Whether we are asked to peg out highway boundaries or setting out a centre line with offsets, our Engineers and office based staff work together to ensure that you get your design placed where it was intended, and to the required accuracy. Setting out foundations, block or brickwork, pinning out preliminary designs, positioning roof or steel structures, providing level datum's at all stages of construction, we can do it all.
We also provide details and plans of the project including the "as constructed" stage of works, i.e. these "as built" surveys are very useful to determine whether the construction tolerances have been met and that, for instance, lift shafts are vertical. A subset of the layout of buildings, but fundamentally distinct, piles are the stress points of any good design and precise location is crucial and cannot simply be corrected at a later stage. Naturally we take great care with all our work and consider thorough checking of our work and data to be a large part of the finished process. For this we prefer to have access to all electronic data from the architects and consulting engineers to verify that all the information "fits" together before we go to site.
The co-ordination and location of permanent markers to withstand the rigours of site operations is also required and can provide relocatable points of reference to either Ordnance Survey control or arbitrary grid data. Either performing topographical surveys before or after site work, to ascertain quantity of land removed or working along side ground workers to define levels for foundation or final profiles. Relocating existing property boundaries from title deeds or registry plans, or assisting in the definition of new or disputed ones, we are frequently called on to establish/confirm fence lines or wall positions.
