Accurate Highway Surveying & Infrastructure Surveys

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 survey 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Infrastructure projects operate within demanding regulatory frameworks where inaccurate or outdated survey data introduces unacceptable risk. Incomplete utility records lead to service strikes and costly programme delays. Inefficient survey processes hold up critical design activities and construction mobilisation. Uncertainty around existing asset condition complicates maintenance planning and investment prioritisation. When your engineering teams lack reliable topographical information, underground utility mapping, and structural condition data, design becomes cautious and conservative, driving unnecessary cost into your scheme.

Greenhatch has extensive experience surveying roads, bridges, utilities networks, and energy infrastructure for councils, highways authorities, and government contractors throughout the UK. Our specialist teams understand the technical requirements and operational constraints that shape infrastructure delivery. We have supported highway improvement schemes, junction redesigns, road widening projects, bus lane and cycle lane implementation, bridge assessments, utilities diversions, and energy infrastructure upgrades across every region.

Our survey methodologies combine rapid mobile mapping for highway corridor surveys with high-precision terrestrial laser scanning for bridge inspections and structural monitoring. UAV aerial surveys capture site-wide topography and access difficult or hazardous locations safely and efficiently. Underground utility detection and verification services map buried services to PAS128 standards, providing the location accuracy needed to support safe excavation and reduce strike risk. We deliver survey outputs in the formats your design teams require from traditional cross-sections and long sections to fully classified point clouds and Building Information Modelling (BIM) data for integrated project workflows.
Whether your scheme involves routine highway maintenance, major junction improvements, utilities coordination, 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 nationwide with over 170 staff across regional offices, enabling us to deploy multiple specialist teams simultaneously across your schemes. This capacity delivers rapid response to urgent survey requirements, supports parallel work packages, and maintains continuity across multi-year programmes without compromising quality or delivery timescales.

For local councils managing extensive highway networks, our national coverage translates into consistent survey standards and simplified procurement across your asset base. For government contractors working to demanding construction programmes, our speed and flexibility keep critical path activities on schedule. For infrastructure developers coordinating complex stakeholder environments, our responsiveness and clear communication reduce uncertainty and support collaborative project delivery.

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. Greenhatch brings over 35 years of experience delivering surveys for highways authorities, utilities operators, rail infrastructure clients, and government departments. This track record demonstrates our understanding of compliance requirements and our commitment to quality at every project stage.

Unlike many competitors who outsource specialist capabilities or offer limited in-house expertise, Greenhatch brings together specialist teams and technology under direct control. This integrated approach delivers consistent results across complex infrastructure projects where other firms introduce supply chain risk and quality variability. When challenges arise, we resolve them. We return to site until survey deliverables meet your requirements, providing the project assurance and stakeholder confidence your scheme demands.
Our professional indemnity insurance of £10 million significantly above industry standard reflects our commitment to your project's security and our confidence in the quality we deliver.

As a trusted partner for councils and major contractors, Greenhatch understands infrastructure delivery timescales, stakeholder expectations, and the operational constraints that shape your project environment. Our infrastructure quantity surveyor teams support cost planning, measurement verification, and contract administration across highway maintenance frameworks and major capital schemes. We advise on survey methodology, deliverable formats, and integration with wider project workflows, ensuring our survey data supports your decision-making from feasibility through to asset handover.

Your infrastructure scheme deserves survey data that reduces project risk, improves efficiency, and supports compliance confidence. Greenhatch delivers the accuracy, capacity, and assurance your programme requires to succeed.
