Topographical Surveys

With Subvision Surveys, you can rely on our extensive capabilities and advanced equipment to conduct a thorough and precise topographical survey of your site, tailored to meet your specific requirements. We capture topographical data and align it with the Ordnance Survey grid and datum, or adapt to your project’s own grid system where required, ensuring the data integrates seamlessly with whatever design software or referencing system your project team is already using.

Quality Topographical Information

The topographical survey CAD drawings we provide give clients up-to-date, accurate plans of the work area. High-quality topographical information plays a vital role at every stage of the project life cycle, including feasibility assessment, planning, design, construction and final handover. Because ground conditions, boundaries and existing features can change over time, working from current survey data rather than historic drawings avoids design decisions being made against information that no longer reflects the site as it actually is.

What a Topographical Survey Captures

Our surveyors record changes in elevation, boundaries, trees, buildings, drainage, kerbs and other physical features present on site, using GPS, total station equipment and, where appropriate, drone survey. This is delivered as a detailed 2D or 3D plan, giving architects, engineers and planners a genuine reference to design from rather than working from assumptions about what’s actually there.

Why choose Subvision for your Topographical Survey?

Unlike many surveying companies, we don’t just capture what’s above ground. Our topographical surveys can be combined with our GPR and utility mapping services in a single site visit, giving architects, engineers and planners a complete picture of both surface features and buried utilities before design work begins. This reduces the number of separate surveys needed and helps avoid costly clashes with underground services later in a project.
