TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS

Benchmark Surveys have over 30+ years of experience providing topographic surveys to our clients.

Importance of Topographic Surveys:

A topographic survey is a crucial first step for any planned development. By accurately mapping all ground features in three dimensions, we provide scaled plans tailored to the client's requirements.

Our surveys can accommodate a range of scales:

Small Scale (1:100): Perfect for detailed development of single dwellings.

Large Scale (1:1250 or 1:2500): Ideal for locating large installations like solar panel farms.

Advanced Measurement Capabilities:

Our reflector-less survey instruments allow us to easily capture:

Ridge and eave heights of buildings

Structure heights

Overhead cables

Tree heights

Inaccessible details such as:

neighbouring private properties

overlooking windows

bridge structures

What could I use a Topographic Survey for?

Land, Building Development and Urban Planning

Infrastructure Design and Construction
Environmental Studies and Conservation Efforts

Flood Risk Assessment and Management

Our exports can be tailored for the clients needs, these are mainly .dwg, .dxf & .pdf.

By choosing Benchmark Surveys, you can trust in our expertise and advanced technology to deliver precise and comprehensive topographic surveys tailored to your project needs.

We use a variety of equipment to capture the accuracy required, or for areas of difficult access.

Benchmark Surveys employs an innovative approach using drones, RIB Boats, and quad bikes to conduct surveys in challenging and hard-to-reach areas. This method ensures comprehensive data collection and coverage for their clients.

Here’s a closer look at how each technology contributes:

Quad Bikes:

Terrain Mobility:

Quad bikes provide excellent mobility over rough and uneven terrain. They can traverse areas that are inaccessible to standard vehicles, such as deserts, rocky landscapes, and muddy fields.

Ground Surveys:

Equipped with GPS and other surveying tools, quad bikes can collect ground-based data, including soil samples, vegetation analysis, and topographical measurements.

Efficiency:

Quad bikes allow surveyors to cover large areas quickly and can be used in conjunction with drones and Rib Boats for comprehensive survey coverage.

Rib Boats:

Marine Surveys:

Rigid Inflatable Boats (Rib Boats) are ideal for surveying coastal and inland water areas. They are stable and can navigate through shallow waters and challenging marine environments.

Hydrographic Data:

Equipped with sonar and other sensors, Rib Boats can collect hydrographic data, including water depth, underwater topography, and sediment analysis.

Versatility:

Rib Boats can be used in various water conditions, making them suitable for surveying rivers, lakes, and coastal regions.

Drones:

Aerial Surveys:

Drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors to capture detailed aerial images and data. They are particularly useful for mapping large areas quickly and efficiently.

Accessibility:

Drones can access areas that are otherwise difficult or dangerous for humans to reach, such as steep slopes, dense forests, or unstable terrains.

Precision:

Advanced drones can provide highly accurate measurements and 3D models of the surveyed area.
