We know that transport, utility, and public services create added pressures and unique demands on surveying requirements. At Castle Surveys, we are experts in getting our clients the solutions they need, quickly and precisely.
At Castle Surveys, we deliver accurate, high-quality topographic highway surveys that play a crucial role in road planning, construction, and traffic management across the UK. Our professional team works closely with clients, local authorities, government departments, developers, engineers, and architects to provide detailed and highly accurate plans of existing infrastructure, road networks, and new or ongoing construction developments. Using the latest technology and advanced surveying techniques, we provide precise data for a wide range of road projects.
Castle Surveys: Providing Highly Accurate and Detailed Plans for Highways and Infrastructure
The topographic land surveys and plans we provide encompass everything—from street furniture, kerb locations, utilities, services, and drainage, to overhead cables, road cambers, topography, and nearby building ridge, eave, and footprint details.
Our dedicated experts, utilising the latest technology and equipment, conduct topographic land and measured surveys, 3D laser scanning, and BIM (Building Information Modelling) projects, among other services. This allows us to deliver an exceptional all-inclusive professional experience and foster strong collaborative partnerships with all our clients.
We create a precise plan to carry out all necessary surveys of the site or highway, ensuring minimal interference and disruption to the area, ongoing works, and public services.
Highway & Road Surveys
Conducting highway and road surveys is an essential tool for architects, engineers, and transport planners. These surveys help them design precise plans, visibility splays, and access points for both new and existing highway infrastructure.
At Castle Surveys, we understand the critical importance of visibility for all road users. Precise placement of visibility splays—essential features of junctions that allow road users on minor roads to see those on major roads—ensures motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians can all see and be seen safely.
Our expertise in precise land and measured surveying solutions, cutting-edge technologies, and professional experience gives our clients the edge needed to deliver projects safely, efficiently, and on time.
What Are Topographic Highway Surveys?
A topographic highway survey provides a detailed assessment of a road and its surrounding environment. It maps all the physical features of the highway, including its alignment, surface, drainage systems, elevations, slopes, and nearby infrastructure such as bridges, culverts, and signage.
The main purpose of a highway survey is to capture an accurate and comprehensive representation of the road and its features. This information is essential for engineers, planners, and developers to design safe, efficient, and sustainable transport networks. By precisely mapping the terrain, road layout, and adjacent infrastructure, highway surveys help ensure that every aspect of a road project is planned and executed with accuracy.
Infrastructure Surveys
We are highly experienced in working within challenging and complex environments. By using the latest surveying equipment and intelligent geomatics technology, we perform our services precisely and deliver excellent data every time.
Our team of dedicated experts has the knowledge and technology to manage projects across large areas with varying terrains and obstacles such as river crossings, forests, pipeline routes, and utility corridors. Whatever the challenge, we create effective solutions and provide accurate data our clients can rely on.
Supporting Road Safety and Traffic Management Strategies
One of the main roles of highway surveys is to support traffic management. Accurate traffic surveys provide valuable insights into how traffic moves through different areas of a road network, helping authorities identify problem areas such as congestion hotspots, accident-prone zones, or inefficient intersections.
Experts in Contemporary Survey Solutions
We ensure complete coverage of every site (with as little disruption as possible) and can expertly create 3D topographic land surveys, 3D meshes, and BIM models by collecting precise data for our clients. This is achieved through the use of unmanned drones, Leica robotic solutions, GPS equipment, 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping, and utility, building, and land surveys.
