Quality assurance

We have a QA system involved in the assurance of all survey drawings. We guarantee the accuracy of survey equipment by having annual servicing and calibration of survey instruments, retaining calibration certificates for reference. The servicing is carried out by the instrument manufacturer's approved contractor. Periodic testing against known baseline distances is also carried out for hand held laser measuring devices.

The accuracy of captured data is interrogated by ensuring, whenever possible, that a closed loop traverse is carried out on site, with a minimum closure tolerance for large traverses being 1 in 20,000.

Before issue, CAD drawings are checked over by a senior member of the survey team.

We apply the highest standard of safe working practice on site at all times. Our Health & Safety Policy document is available on request.
