OUR SERVICES
SITE ENGINEERING
Site engineering services play a critical role in the construction process, providing expertise and support to ensure the successful execution of a project. These services encompass a wide range of activities, including site investigation, surveying, and topographical mapping. Site engineers work closely with the design team and construction crew to establish the necessary groundwork, determine the optimal layout, and oversee the implementation of plans on-site.
TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEYS
Topographical surveys are detailed assessments of the natural and man-made features on a specific piece of land. These surveys provide crucial information about the elevation, contours, and physical characteristics of the site, including buildings, trees, bodies of water, and other relevant elements. By conducting topographical surveys, engineers and planners can gain a comprehensive understanding of the terrain, which is essential for making informed decisions during the design and construction phases of a project.
SETTING OUT
Setting out is a vital process in construction that involves marking the precise locations and dimensions of structures, roads, or other elements on a construction site. It ensures that the project is executed accurately and in accordance with the design plans. Surveyors and engineers use various tools and techniques to establish reference points, levels, and alignments, allowing construction teams to follow precise measurements and positioning during the building phase.
AS-BUILT SURVEYS
As-built surveys are conducted typically at the completion of a construction project to document the actual constructed conditions of the site and its improvements. These surveys serve as a comparison to the original design plans and specifications provided by the engineer during the planning phase. By conducting as-built surveys, engineers can ensure that the constructed elements align with the approved design and meet all required standards and regulations.
MACHINE CONTROL
Machine control for earth moving involves the creation of precise digital models and plans, which are then translated into real-time instructions for construction equipment. Through the integration of advanced technologies such as GPS, sensors, and software interfaces, these machines are guided to execute excavation and grading tasks with exceptional accuracy and efficiency, resulting in reduced material waste, optimised project timelines, and enhanced overall productivity in earth-moving operations.
The main goal of volume calculation is to find out a volume of material that was mined or heaped up in predefined area and to verify if the volume corresponds to the expected value stated in project documentation. The volume is determined by a difference of topographies from two survey phases or by a difference between the survey and the project documentation.

OUR CLIENTS
WHAT WE OFFER
Digital Drawings:
Working from digital drawings significantly reduces the risk of reading errors, ensuring accuracy and reliability throughout the surveying process.
Robotic Instruments:
We employ modern robotic instruments, enabling us to carry out setting out tasks in a fast and precise manner. This advanced technology enhances efficiency and accuracy on-site.
Experienced Engineers:
Our diverse team of experienced surveyors and site engineers brings a wealth of expertise across all of our services. Their collective experience spans a wide range of projects, from complex infrastructure developments to RC and steel frame constructions, including schools and high-rise buildings. Our engineers work collaboratively on our projects and providing a right first-time service is something we pride ourselves on.
Additional Surveys:
Our commitment to comprehensive service means we can conduct any additional surveys required to assist designers in rectifying unforeseen geometric challenges. Whether it's accurate volumetric calculations, 'CAD up' of sketches, as-built surveys, or verticality checks, our skilled team is up to the task.
Accurate Quantities:
Accurate Quantities: We provide accurate 'take-offs' from CAD drawings to deliver precise quantities for Quantity Surveyors. This attention to detail helps streamline project management and budgeting processes.
Cut and Fill Assessments:
With our expertise in cut-and-fill assessments between existing and proposed surfaces, we empower you with valuable insights into site preparation and earthwork requirements.
