Land Surveying

Every project starts with a solid measurement

Overview

Lay the geodetic foundation for your project.

Every construction or infrastructure project begins with a question: what is the current situation and where does what need to go? Land surveying answers that question. We map terrains, plots and project sites with precision and deliver the geodetic data you need for design, permits and execution.

With GNSS technology and robotic total stations we work fast and accurately, whether it concerns a small plot or a large industrial site. The measurement data is processed into digital files that are immediately usable in your CAD or GIS environment.

Topographic measurements are an important part of our land surveying work. We accurately map all objects, contour lines, paving, vegetation and infrastructure. Objects are classified in line with IMGEO (the Dutch Basic Registration of Large-Scale Topography), so the data fits public-sector standards directly and is usable for permit applications.

We perform land surveying work for contractors, project developers and government bodies. From site surveys and terrain measurements to setting out complete construction sites.

Our approach

How we work.

From intake to delivery. Every step aligned with your schedule.

1

Site reconnaissance

We inspect the site and determine the optimal survey strategy. Existing reference points and cadastral data are collected.

2

Field survey

With total station and GNSS we measure all relevant objects, elevation points and boundaries. On large sites we can deploy drone imagery through our trusted partner as a supplement.

3

Data processing

The raw measurement data is processed into a digital terrain model, situation drawing or elevation map. Objects are classified and we check completeness and accuracy.

4

Delivery

You receive the data in the desired format: DWG, DXF, GIS or PDF. Ready to use for design, permits or execution.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ.

The most asked questions about Land Surveying. Question not listed? Feel free to get in touch.

With a total station we achieve millimeter accuracy. With GNSS (GPS) the standard accuracy is 1 to 2 centimeters. The required accuracy depends on the purpose: cadastral surveys have different requirements than terrain measurements.

Standard items: buildings, paving (roads, paths, parking areas), vegetation, watercourses, fences, light posts, manholes and elevation points. On request we expand this with cables and pipelines, trees or other specific objects. Objects are classified in line with IMGEO.

A standard terrain survey of a construction site (up to 5,000m²) is done in half a day. A site of up to one hectare is usually surveyed in a day. Larger sites or detailed surveys can take several days.

Yes. GPS and total stations work in rain and wind without issues. In dense fog or heavy storms the line of sight for the total station can be limited. In that case we switch to GPS or reschedule the survey.

Standard in DWG (AutoCAD), but also DXF, shapefile, GML or PDF. We deliver in the format that fits your software and workflow.

We are very satisfied with the dimensional control service across various projects. From the very first contact, communication has run smoothly.
