Topographic and boundary surveys
Here at WGP digital we offer a comprehensive topographical and boundary surveying service. With our experience and expertise we will be able to provide you with an effective solution.
We can provide the following:
- Topographic surveys / land surveys for large or small sites
- Boundary surveys for land registry uses and boundary disputes
- 2D or 3D outputs
- Area and volume calculations
- Contouring
- GPS control schemes
- Ordnance survey coordinates – OSGB36
Topographical survey methods
Traditional techniques for a topographic survey would be to use an electronic total station and/or a GPS receiver/rover for providing coordinates to OSGB36. This is the best method where accuracy is required and to ensure important features aren’t missed.
Laser scanning can also be used for some sites and is particularly effective for showing “hard detail”, care would need to be taken to ensure a control scheme is in place for accurate registration of scan data.
For some sites, a drone/UAV can be an effective solution perhaps when time restricts “boots on the ground” survey techniques, or the site is large and only limited information is required. GPS can be used to provide a control framework for the drone.
Boundary surveys
Boundary surveys employ the same techniques as above but are completely focused on boundary features, whether to accurately record the position of your boundary or to provide a base plan for a potential dispute.
We can provide drawings that are Land Registry compliant, however please note that we are not ‘expert witnesses’ but have links with a reputable expert if the need should arise.
Deliverables
All standard 2D CAD formats are catered for, 3D surveys can be provided in string formats, contours, meshed models or surfaces.
AKA
Topographic surveys are also known as – site surveys, land surveys and geomatic surveys!
FAQ
The simple answer is not very! A 1:1250 scale plan can be 0.5m out, whereas a 1:2500 scale plan can be 2 metres out. In fact a width of line at those respective scales is 0.3 & 0.6 metres. Visit the land registry web site for more information.
