Complex infrastructure schemes require geospatial data that meets the highest standards of accuracy and compliance. Whether your authority is delivering road widening projects, implementing new bus lanes and cycle lanes, maintaining bridge networks, or upgrading utility corridors, the quality of your infrastructure surveys directly influences project safety, cost control, and programme delivery.

Greenhatch Group provides local councils, government contractors, infrastructure developers, and engineers with the precise survey intelligence needed to reduce risk, accelerate decision-making, and ensure regulatory confidence throughout your scheme lifecycle.

The Cost of Inadequate Survey Data

Infrastructure projects operate within demanding regulatory frameworks. Inaccurate or outdated survey data introduces unacceptable risk to any highway scheme.

Poor data quality carries serious consequences:

Incomplete utility records lead to service strikes and costly rework
Inefficient survey processes delay critical design activities and construction mobilisation
Without reliable topographical surveys, highway engineers and designers are forced into cautious, conservative approaches
Poor visibility of drainage systems and existing asset condition complicates maintenance planning

Highway improvement schemes, junction redesigns, and road widening projects
Road markings surveys, street furniture assessments, and highway alignment verification
Bridge assessments and highway structures inspections
Drainage systems mapping, utility corridors, and utilities diversions
Traffic management surveys and lane closures coordination, including overhead cables detection
Energy infrastructure upgrades and bus and cycle lane implementation

Survey Methods and Equipment

Accurate data capture begins with selecting the right equipment and methods for each highway site. Our highly experienced teams use a combination of the latest technology:

Mobile mapping for rapid highway corridor surveys and data capture
Total stations for precise highway surface measurement and alignment surveys
Terrestrial laser scanning for high-precision inspection of bridges and highway structures
UAV aerial surveys for topographical surveys and access to difficult or hazardous locations
Underground utility detection mapping drainage systems, overhead cables, and buried services to PAS128 standards

Outputs for Engineers and Designers

We deliver survey outputs in the formats your engineers and designers rely on, from cross-sections and long sections to fully classified point clouds and Building Information Modelling data.

Whether your scheme involves routine highway maintenance, major junction improvements, or multi-phase infrastructure programmes, Greenhatch tailors survey scope and methodology to your technical specifications and project constraints.

Infrastructure programmes require survey capacity that smaller firms cannot provide. Greenhatch operates across the UK with over 170 staff across regional offices, enabling us to deploy multiple specialist teams simultaneously across your highway schemes.

National Highway Survey Coverage

Our national coverage delivers consistent survey standards and simplified procurement for local authorities and councils managing extensive highway networks. This ensures best practice data capture is achieved across the country without quality variability.

Traffic Management and On-Site Efficiency

We work efficiently on site, coordinating traffic management and lane closures to minimise disruption to the highway. Our latest survey equipment supports rapid data capture, reducing the impact on traffic and keeping construction programmes on schedule.

Clients We Serve Across the Infrastructure Sector

Our highway survey services deliver targeted benefits:

Local authorities and councils: consistent highway survey standards and simplified procurement across extensive highway networks
Government contractors: speed and flexibility to keep critical path activities on schedule
Infrastructure developers:> visibility, reliability, and clear communication throughout complex delivery environments

Infrastructure schemes operate within strict safety and regulatory frameworks. Survey data must meet defined accuracy standards, comply with technical specifications, and withstand scrutiny from multiple stakeholders and approving authorities.

35 Years of Infrastructure Survey Experience

Greenhatch brings over 35 years of experience delivering highway surveys for authorities, utilities operators, rail infrastructure clients, and government departments. Our track record across the country demonstrates our commitment to best practice, quality, and innovation at every stage.

Integrated Teams and Latest Technology

Unlike competitors who outsource specialist capabilities, Greenhatch combines specialist teams and the latest technology under direct control. This integrated approach, supported by innovation in survey equipment and methods, delivers consistently accurate results and eliminates supply chain risk.

When challenges arise, we return to site until deliverables meet your requirements.

Our professional indemnity insurance of £10 million, significantly above industry standard, reflects our confidence in the quality we deliver.

As a trusted partner for local authorities and major contractors, Greenhatch understands highway infrastructure delivery timescales, stakeholder expectations, and the operational constraints that shape your project environment. Our teams are highly experienced across a wide range of highway survey and infrastructure programmes.
