With over 30 years experience as a setting out engineer and land surveyor working on bulk earthworks, road networks, cross country pipelines, deep drainage and sewage works structures.

 

For the last 18 years I have been working on the construction of windfarm and renewable energy projects, the first 5 years of which were for civil engineering contractors and the last 13 years have been working for international energy companies.

​

To expand the existing in-house holding of surveying equipment significant investments have been made to acquire the latest technology in surveying and inspection drones (both quadcopter and fixed wing) currently available on the market today.

​

This accumulated knowledge means that any aerial survey carried out for your project will not only be undertaken by a CAA approved operator but also someone who fully understands the project requirements and is able to interact with your design and maintenance teams.

 

Primarily our work consists of,

• Carrying out ground level surveys.

• Downloading the surveys and processing them in 3D ground modelling software (Pix4d).

• Producing 3D earthworks design models and then comparing the design and original ground level survey to produce cut and fill quantities.

• Using the above quantities to produce earthworks reports for costing etc.

• We also carry out surveys of bends or areas of concern on wind farm component delivery routes for swept path analysis.

• Aerial photography of installed components for signs of defects or damage.
