Topographical surveys (Topo) form an essential part of the development process, whether rural, urban or extra urban. Topographical surveys provide an accurate model of the chosen environment, with true elevations and accurate real-world coordinates for all structures, man-made or natural features, boundaries and static furniture. Macleod Simmonds uses 3D scanning technology and conventional techniques to create 2D and 3D CAD maps in your preferred format.
The data from a topo survey can be used to model water flows over a developed landscape, to calculate land area, boundary positions, as a background to utility surveys, for construction material calculations, volume assessments or simply as a permanent snapshot of an area at a given point in time.
With over 35 years of experience, we combine the very latest technology with our expert surveying practices. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology is increasingly used within site acquisition. Our latest system can deliver access to coordinated and useable data usually within 24 hours. Full 2D or 3D CAD models, along with surface mesh digital terrain models, can also be extracted from the data and supplied in your preferred format. We can also capture fully-equipped conventional data, which utilises the very latest Robotic Total Stations and GPS systems.
An accurate topo survey reduces the risk of unforeseen problems later in your project. It provides clear information informing your design and planning decisions.
Our topographical surveys can be relied upon for accuracy and detail. When you need to know that your design is based on fact, you can trust one of our topo surveys.
Being full members of The Survey Association, EuroGPR and being Constructionline Gold Level certified, the Macleod Simmonds team continue to demonstrate their unparalleled passion for the latest technology, combined with their unique and innovative approach to measuring the real world.
