Surveying Services
At WHL Surveying & Engineering Ltd, we provide accurate, detailed surveying solutions to support every stage of your project.
From topographical surveys to laser scanning and BIM modelling, our expert team uses advanced technology to deliver reliable data, ensuring your project is built on a solid foundation.
Topographical Surveys
+ Purpose:
Provide detailed mapping of the natural and built environment on commercial sites.
+ Applications:
Useful for site planning and design in commercial developments.
Measured Building Surveys (CAD)
+ Purpose:
Accurate measurements of existing commercial buildings using advanced surveying technologies like laser scanning.
+ Applications:
Ideal for refurbishments, extensions, or facility management in commercial real estate.
Laser Scanning & 3D Modelling (BIM)
+ Purpose:
High-definition 3D laser scans to create detailed BIM models.
+ Applications:
Facilitates accurate project planning, design, and lifecycle management of commercial buildings.
Architectural Design Services
+ Purpose:
Provides detailed design solutions for new builds, refurbishments, and extensions, focusing on aesthetics, functionality, and compliance with client requirements.
+ Applications:
Essential for all phases of commercial projects, from conceptual design to final construction drawings, ensuring seamless integration of all project elements.
Building Regulation Drawings
+ Purpose:
Create technical drawings that comply with local building regulations, ensuring that designs meet safety, accessibility, and environmental standards.
+ Applications:
Required for obtaining approvals from local authorities and ensuring compliance with statutory regulations. Useful for both new construction and significant modifications to existing buildings.
Underground Utility Mapping & CAT Scanning
+ Purpose:
Mapping underground utilities (gas, water, electricity) using PAS128-compliant methods, including CAT scanning for real-time detection.
+ Applications:
Minimises risks during excavation work by detecting and mapping buried services. This service is crucial to avoid accidental utility strikes during construction.
UAV (Drone) Surveys
+ Purpose:
Use of drones to survey large or complex sites from the air, capturing data for aerial mapping and inspections.
+ Applications:
Ideal for commercial developments, roof inspections, and monitoring progress on construction sites.
Cladding and Façade Surveys
+ Purpose:
Inspects the external cladding and facades of commercial high-rise buildings for structural soundness and compliance with fire regulations.
+ Applications:
Especially important post-Grenfell for fire safety assessments.
Roof Surveys
+ Purpose:
Detailed inspection of commercial roofs to assess their condition, structural integrity, and identify potential issues like leaks, insulation problems, or damage.
+ Applications:
Essential for maintenance, repair, or refurbishment projects in commercial buildings. These surveys ensure the roof is in good condition and can handle environmental loads, such as rain, snow, or wind. Often used before renovations, after severe weather events, or for regular building upkeep.
Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) for Roofs
+ Purpose:
Utilises electronic testing methods to detect leaks and pinpoint breaches in roof membranes or waterproofing systems with high accuracy.
+ Applications:
Ideal for commercial flat roofs or large roofing systems where water ingress can cause significant damage. Commonly used for quality assurance during new roof installations or to troubleshoot existing roofing problems without invasive measures. ELD is particularly useful in identifying even small leaks that are difficult to find using traditional methods.
Material Testing
+ Purpose:
Tests the quality, strength, and performance of construction materials such as concrete, steel, asphalt, and soil.
+ Applications:
Ensures compliance with standards and regulations in construction projects. Includes concrete compressive strength tests, steel tensile tests, soil analysis, and asphalt performance tests for roads and infrastructure.
