Services
Topographical Surveys
Greenhatch Group conducts topographical surveys using total stations, GNSS, and UAVs to create detailed land feature maps. Our services cover greenfield and brownfield sites, urban infrastructure, and heritage locations. With ISO 9001-certified processes, we deliver accurate data for construction planning, boundary disputes, and volume analysis across the UK and internationally.
3D Laser Scanning
We utilise high-speed 3D laser scanners to capture up to 2,000,000 data points per second for precise as-built documentation. Our Leica P40 and Z+F 5010C scanners produce detailed point clouds for heritage preservation, building modelling, and engineering verification. Data is compatible with Revit and BIM workflows for construction and infrastructure projects.
Underground Utility Surveys
Our underground utility surveys employ GPR, electromagnetic location, and CCTV to map buried services in diverse environments. We comply with PAS:128 standards for utility verification in military bases, hospitals, and urban areas. Deliverables include digital records for safe excavation planning and statutory compliance.
Bathymetric Surveys
Using remote-controlled sonar boats, we conduct bathymetric surveys for rivers, lakes, and quarries. Our technology captures high-density depth data to create 3D models for flood risk analysis and watercourse management. This method reduces health and safety risks while improving data accuracy compared to traditional techniques.
Railway Infrastructure Surveys
Greenrail Solutions, our subsidiary, specialises in railway surveys using Trimble S8 total stations and GNSS. We provide track gauging, structure profiling, and OHLE height measurements for rail networks. Certified by RISQS, our deliverables support infrastructure maintenance and expansion projects across the UK.
