Greenhatch Group has a wealth of experience in topographical surveying, providing accurate mapping data representations of the physical features and arrangements to the construction and development industry since 1988.
Flexible to all requests, Greenhatch provide topographical surveys from the smallest of plots to the largest of developments. This encompasses all types of land, from greenfield and brownfield sites, urban and rural infrastructure, to local house and garden surveys.
We provide a wide service of expertise in the topographical field which includes the provision of the following primary services:
Topographical / Detail Surveys
Boundary Disputes / Legal Plans
GIS Capture
Landfill & Quarry / Volume Analysis
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.

Topographical / Detail Surveys
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.
All topographical survey data capture techniques utilise the very latest technology including Leica & Trimble GNSS receivers which are linked to the Ordnance Survey active network, terrestrial laser scanning techniques via a Trimble SX10 & Leica P40 3d data capture and also the use of SfM Aerial Photogrammetry via various UAV platforms flown by fully qualified and CCA approved pilots.

Landfill & Quarry / Volume Analysis
Landfill & Quarry surveys are an important part of the Greenhatch Group history with the Company being founded upon topographical survey work with Tarmac, Steetley Quarries and Lafarge Aggregates sites established throughout the UK.
We still provide a comprehensive annual site survey update service for many sites including those which have now moved onto landfill management with firms such as Biffa Waste Services etc.
Both Quarry and Landfill topographic surveys are captured in a comprehensive 3d DTM (digital terrain model) form which allows accurate contour modelling of site features together with automatic area calculations of any specific site areas or materials.
Our software also allows the interpretation of Isopachtye contours for the estimation of remaining material deposits or ultimate landscaping activities at the end of a sites life.
