ALC - Technics

A detailed topographic survey and 3D Digital Terrain Model was recently produced for Brighton College to aid the design of a sports pavilion. The proposed building will be constructed on the sensitive sports field site and will include facilities for changing and a café. The Technics Group survey is essential to David Morley Architects and will enable them to undertake detailed design and produce visualizations. Both Brighton College and David Morley Architects were delighted with the drawings and service from our team.

Two new projects have been added to our website projects page.

Following development with the Crossrail safety team specifically to fulfil their TARGET ZERO strategy, we are delighted to offer this specific type of survey as a new service to all clients. The Excavation Risk Assessment is a Utility Survey of a single site where an excavation is planned. The survey is undertaken using both radio location and ground penetrating radar techniques and the completed drawing of the site area is produced on one double sided A3 sheet. The finished survey drawing contains a plan of the site, a cross section and a written description of the utility hazards that an excavation crew will come across.  The style of the drawing has also been designed to enable any excavation crew to quickly and clearly understand the hazards so that the excavation can be undertaken safely.

A fantastic day was had by all!!!

Travelling to the event 4 hours before the race start, we thought a canoe race would have been more appropriate! Due to extreme wet weather, we virtually aquaplaned to the venue! Fortunately 4 hours later the rain had stopped and the track had almost dried out.

The Graduation Day for The Survey Association’s Introduction to Surveying Course was held on Friday 30 July 2010, at The Survey School at Worcester. TSA President, Graham Mills, presented James Pike with the Best Student Award.

We are pleased to introduce our new Senior Surveyor, Wesley Stevens.

We are delighted to announce the arrival of our latest recruit! Thomas was born on 20th Feb and is the son of Andy Overington, Sitechnics Projects Manager, and his partner Jo. Andy said

Leica has been supplying precise network corrections for GPS RTK for 5 years now through its spider software network.

The new ‘all-in-one” Scanstation C10 delivers faster, more accurate survey points in High-Definition. The Scanstation is much faster than its predecessor, capturing full dome scans up to 10x quicker.   It now takes less than 2 minutes for a typical sized room.

Building surveys can be undertaken for many different situations. Each purpose will require a certain degree of accuracy, which will affect both the time taken and the cost of the survey.
Measured building surveys can be undertaken for the following;

• Interior Design
• Structural alterations
• Refurbishment
• Net Internal Areas
• Fire layout plans
• Modelling & Visualisations
• Rights of light & Party wall issues.
• Planning
