Professional Land Surveying & Engineering Services
Sun Hill Surveying & Engineering has been delivering specialist land surveying and engineering services since 2002. Our approach combines traditional methodologies with cutting-edge technology, including mobile mapping systems, drones, and ground-penetrating radar. With over 20 years of industry experience and 7+ years in mobile mapping, we have completed over 10,000km of topographical surveys while saving clients hundreds of thousands in traffic management costs. Our expertise spans diverse environments, from land and waterways to above-ground and confined spaces. We have established ourselves as an industry leader through partnerships with major infrastructure clients, delivering cost-effective, time-efficient solutions. Our commitment to innovation enables us to tackle complex projects without disrupting operations, as demonstrated by our work on bridges, tunnels, and railway cuttings.Our team's technical proficiency and rigorous safety protocols ensure accurate data collection in challenging conditions. We provide web-based access to point cloud data, allowing clients to analyse surveys remotely without requiring high-specification hardware. Our case studies demonstrate measurable outcomes, including risk reduction for surveyors and significant cost savings for clients. We maintain strict quality assurance processes across all projects, from setting out at historic sites to GIS data capture for local authorities. Our multidisciplinary capabilities position us as a comprehensive solution provider for surveying challenges across the UK construction sector.

Services
Land Topographical Surveys
We conduct detailed land surveys using robotic total stations and laser scanning technology. Our surveys produce highly accurate 2D and 3D models for infrastructure projects. This service supports highway redesigns, construction planning, and asset management across the UK.
Mobile Mapping
Our Leica Pegasus:Two mobile mapping system captures data at highway speeds without traffic disruption. This technology enables efficient surveys of bridges, tunnels, and road networks while maintaining safety and reducing costs for clients.
Drone Inspections
We deploy drones for aerial inspections of structures and large sites. This method provides safe access to difficult locations like railway cuttings and motorway bridges while generating precise 3D models and progress monitoring data.
GIS Data Capture
Our GIS services combine mobile mapping, drone data, and on-foot surveys to create comprehensive asset inventories. This approach helps local authorities optimise maintenance budgets through accurate spatial data management.
Confined Space Surveys
We conduct surveys in restricted environments using specialist equipment and trained personnel. Our methodology ensures safety compliance while producing accurate 3D models of tunnels and service infrastructure without disrupting operations.
