Topographical Surveys are undertaken using the latest surveying equipment, from Total Stations, Global Navigation Satellite Systems, 3D Laser Scanners and UAV’s. All surveys are controlled by a network of established control stations prior to topographical detail being collected by the most suitable and cost-effective method, determined by the management and project surveyor.

To maintain standards and achieve the required project accuracy we work to the ISO9001:2015 quality assurance system where provisional data is field checked, computational and redundancy checks undertaken and final drawings production undertaken under the supervision of management with final quality checks undertaken on every project.

With regional offices throughout the UK we are able to cover the whole country and maintain a quick and economical response to client enquiries. Greenhatch also has experience of working further afield and has the capacity to undertake projects overseas.

Surveys Delivered

Detailed topographical surveys are captured using robotic total stations in combination with the capture of field observations by a surveyor with a detail pole and prism reflector. Data is observed in the field in point code and string-line forms which allow the direct export and manipulation of digital ground model features in bespoke survey software solutions (LSS) . Such 3d DTM data is then exported in a high quality AutoCAD 2d cartographical form for planning and interpretation use together with a 3d stringline and surface triangle mesh for use with 3d systems such as Revit.
