The use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) allows accurate navigation, positioning of objects and recording of features within an archaeological context. The instrument uses a series of satellites and base stations to provide an accurate location anywhere in the world.

The GPS is a flexible tool giving sub-metre precision over a wide area, making it ideal for placing markers within a landscape or mapping existing features.

Boundary

A common area of dispute is precisely where the line of boundary lies between adjacent properties or land. There are many myths and misconceptions regarding the line of boundary between properties, and to avoid potential lengthy and expensive disputes it is best to get independent professional advice early.

Our experienced Surveyors are experts in mapping, measurement and problem-solving. We are best placed to interpret any mapping evidence for your property boundary and to understand the limitations of such mapping. We can also produce the most accurate plans of your property boundary.

We have experienced senior surveyors, who can provide initial advice, reports for litigation purposes and give evidence in Court if necessary.

Volumations

The output of today's field survey is no longer a simple 2 dimensional contour plot. Observations completed in the field with modern surveying equipment are stored digitally then transferred directly into sophisticated software. This is capable of manipulating huge amounts of 3-D spatial data quickly into formats that are useful to architects, engineers and other design disciplines.

The surveyor has the ability to create a digital terrain model (DTM) from collected data. In essence this is a spatially correct computerised representation of a site. As such, things can be added, overlaid or manipulated and dimensional information can be directly queried. The DTM is thus the starting block for any subsequent design project and can form the base information for many land and industrial GIS applications.

By generating surfaces within the DTM volumetric information can be obtained. Questions concerning quantities such as cut & fill can be answered quickly and accurately. Laborious calculations, traditionally done by hand, can be performed many times at high speeds. This enables the designer to try out more options, giving greater flexibility and ultimately a more cost-effective solution.

Legal Mapping

When subdividing land and producing contract maps for a vendor we usually liaise with the solicitor to establish his requirements and then provide a quotation based on this. After preparing the maps we are often asked to set out the new boundaries. We also do area checks for those purchasing land. Remember, the base mapping that the Land Registry use is often very outdated. It's always wise to have the area surveyed so that you know exactly what you're buying.

• Establishment of definitive mapping and legal boundaries for land.
• Land Registry
• Measurement of Roads, Buildings & Other constructions for legal assessment.

Survey Requirements

If you would like to contact us to discuss your requirements so that we can develop a project plan and quotation, it would be useful to have the following information:

• Size and shape of survey area
• Purpose of survey
• Survey location
• Ground conditions - pasture, crop etc
• Other useful information includes map of the site, the location of any structures or field boundaries in the survey area
