We were recently appointed for the topographical survey of the runway at Biggin Hill Airport. From the outset, we prioritised meeting deadlines and maintaining open communication with the client, ensuring they were informed of the survey's progress at all stages. Our proactive approach fostered a collaborative environment that enabled informed decision-making based on accurate and up-to-date information. Safety was paramount throughout the project, and our robust measures ensured the well-being of our team and all stakeholders involved. The positive feedback received from the client further reinforces our position as a reliable and proficient engineering company for topographical surveying needs.
Our team's expertise played a vital role in supporting the successful delivery of this complex project. As a trusted partner, we worked closely with the project team, providing essential coordination for various components such as deep drainage, attenuation tanks, and road construction. Our focus on seamless execution and adherence to the highest standards assisted the project's progress and achievement of outstanding results. We take pride in supporting large-scale civil engineering endeavours and working hand in hand with project teams to achieve shared goals and deliver quality outcomes.
Asish, as a Senior Site Engineer, and Madhukar, as Assistant Engineer, collaborated seamlessly to assist with the construction of a linked road project, including a pedestrian bridge. With Ash's leadership and Madhukar's valuable contributions, we ensured the smooth execution of our site engineering services from start to finish. The construction of the linked road and pedestrian bridge exemplifies our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions that benefit the community. At AKN Engineering we take pride in our team's ability to tackle complex projects, and our dedication to high quality work is unwavering.
The works involved the measurement of wall positions, slope
embankments and ground levels using GPS and TPS survey techniques. It also included the mapping of the site topography in relation to a fixed datum – Ordnance Survey GPS Active Network.

The 1.4km link road will provide access to a 950-home development in Chase Farm.
The project once complete will also shift traffic from the busy Arlesey High Street onto the new road to ease congestion and reduce journey times for road users heading to the A507. As part of the scheme, dedicated cycleways and footways will sit alongside the carriageway and a new bridge over the A507 will complete a route from Arlesey to Etonbury Woods and local schools.
The bridge will also feature a viewing platform at tree canopy level.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
