Highways Topographic Surveys
  
The surveying of the UK’s roads has traditionally been a core activity of Severn Partnership, allowing us to draw upon over 25 years of highway surveying experience throughout the UK and overseas. Recent trends in highways congestion and maintenance suggest enduring collaboration with some of the countries leading civil engineers on some of the largest national projects.

The continued development and expansion of our national transport infrastructure implies that more than ever survey companies working on roads require a solid background of experience, efficiency and expertise.

Experience

Severn partnership has developed vast knowledge of the surveying services required within the highways sector, with our work covering all aspects of infrastructure including trunk roads, motorways, car parks, residential, city centre and all associated structures. All of our projects are delivered within the Department of Transport (DOT) highways specification. A quick review of the other tabs in this section of our site will demonstrate our success in completing projects on the highways.

Efficiency

Utilization of the most modern equipment combined with careful Road worker action plans allow for maximized production rates allowing our staff to complete large amounts of work in limited time periods. Time on site is invariably costly. Our experienced survey teams can action the specification efficiently, minimizing your costs, while still adhering to methods of best practice which guarantee quality.
We also use Remote Access survey techniques to avoid the need for traffic management, road or lane closure; using robotic reflectorless total stations, or laser scanners.

Expertise

Combining both our Experience and Efficiency, with Expertise in new technology and software, gives us the capability to undertake the most complex and demanding highways surveying project.

Working closely in partnership with clients we are able to produce suitable survey specifications that ensures that the data we collect and deliver meets their requirements.
The installation of a rigorous control network future proofs our work, and ensures that the local survey grid can be re-visited at a later date (setting out, proving survey or extension).

For larger areas or sites with difficult access, we can have used photogrammetry to great effect. This remote survey method can be an effective alternative to ground based survey methods. For long and thin road corridor surveys Severn Partnership has collaborated with University College London (UCL) to offer grid projection solutions for specific jobs. This method ensures scale factor distortion is solved for on highways surveys which expand over longer distances.
