Our Services
Surveying services built around your programme.
Surveying services built around your programme.
Site Surveying Services has been delivering land and geospatial survey since 1997. Based in Clitheroe, Lancashire, with offices across the UK, we deliver 14 specialist survey disciplines from one directly employed in-house team — no subcontractors, no handoffs, no gaps between the person who quoted the job and the person who delivers it.
We work with tier 1 contractors, highways engineers, infrastructure consultants and major developers across the North West and nationally who need survey data they can build programmes on. Our accreditations are in place, our team is ready. If you know what you need, choose a service below. If you are scoping a programme and need guidance on the right survey brief, call us on 01200 438 320. We will tell you exactly what is needed.
One team. One standard. One trusted partner.
The full Site Surveying Services brochure covers every discipline in detail — including technical specifications, key accreditations and case study examples across every sector we operate in.
Topographical Surveys
Topographical Surveys
Topographic survey is the foundation every successful programme is built on. Site Surveying Services delivers OS-controlled topographic surveys across Lancashire, the North West and nationally — for highways, civils, urban regeneration, brownfield and development sites. Ground levels, boundaries, drainage and contextual detail, in your format, from day one.

PAS 128 Utility Mapping
PAS 128 Utility Mapping
What is underground determines whether your programme runs or stops. Site Surveying Services delivers PAS 128-compliant utility mapping to Quality Level B, C and D — using GPR and EML to physically verify every service, not just search for it. Georeferenced 2D and 3D output, integrated directly with your CAD and BIM environment.

3D Laser Scanning Surveys
3D Laser Scanning Surveys
When a site is too complex, too confined or too active for traditional methods, laser scanning captures millions of accurate data points from a single setup — without stopping the programme around it. We deliver georeferenced point cloud datasets that integrate directly with BIM, Revit & CAD, typically achieving full capture in a single mobilisation.
Surveying for Public Safety — Eccles Fire Station Refurbishment
Measured Building Surveys
Measured Building Surveys
Before a building can be refurbished, extended or accurately recorded, the existing conditions need to be established with precision. We deliver measured building surveys for all property types using 3D laser scanning — producing floor plans, elevations, sections and 3D models to your architect’s specification, checked and coordinated in-house.

Setting Out & Site Engineers
Setting Out & Site Engineers
Setting out is where survey precision becomes construction reality — there is no recovering from wrong control once the programme has moved on. Site Surveying Services supplies directly employed setting-out engineers across the North West and nationally, delivering accurate, programme-paced control on live construction sites.

UAV, Aerial & Drone Surveys
UAV, Aerial & Drone Surveys
When traditional methods are too slow, too dangerous or simply cannot capture the full picture, UAV survey fills the gap. We operate CAA-compliant drone programmes with PDRA01 and GVC certified pilots who are surveyors first — delivering accurate, georeferenced aerial data for topographic mapping, photogrammetry, LiDAR and volumetric analysis.

Bathymetric & River Surveys
Bathymetric & River Surveys
Rivers, reservoirs and coastal environments present challenges standard land survey cannot address. Site Surveying Services deploys the CHC Navigation Apache 4 unmanned surface vessel — capturing accurate bathymetric data safely and remotely without personnel entering the water, across flood modelling, dredging, reservoir inspection and environmental monitoring programmes.
Bathymetric Survey — Gathurst Weir, Wigan
Stockpile Surveys & Volumetric Analysis
Stockpile Surveys & Volumetric Analysis
On active earthworks and aggregate sites, accurate volume data is a commercial necessity. Site Surveying Services delivers UAV-based volumetric analysis at any programme stage — tender, pre-start, monthly or final — producing volume breakdowns in CAD, PDF or spreadsheet format your commercial team can act on directly.

Monitoring
Monitoring
When construction activity takes place near existing structures or sensitive ground, monitoring is the risk management tool that protects the programme. We deliver precision structural and geotechnical monitoring using automated systems and advanced instrumentation — providing real-time data and clear reporting that gives your team confidence to proceed, or early warning to act.

3D BIM Modelling
3D BIM Modelling
Survey data is only as useful as it is usable. When your project carries a BIM requirement, Site Surveying Services builds the survey scope around your EIR from the first conversation — delivering 3D models, point clouds and coordinated datasets to your LOD standard, in Revit or AutoCAD, accurate and ready to use without reprocessing.

3D Machine Control
3D Machine Control
Machine control removes guesswork from earthworks — when plant is guided by precise 3D models, accuracy improves, rework reduces and the programme moves faster. Site Surveying Services creates machine control models for contractors across the North West and nationally, working with Trimble, Topcon and Leica systems from model creation through to on-site calibration.

Hire Survey Equipment
Hire Survey Equipment
We carry the latest GNSS Base Stations, GNSS Rovers, Robotic Total Stations, Laser Scanners, Digital Levels, and Dual Grade Lasers. Not only do we have these calibrated by the manufacturer but they are also checked in line with the manufacturer’s requirements at regular intervals ensuring that all equipment is always operating as it should do.

Control Network Installation
Control Network Installation
Every survey programme is only as reliable as the control network it is built on — errors at this stage compound through everything that follows. Site Surveying Services designs, installs and verifies control networks across projects of all scales, using GPS and total station traverse tied to OS control, with accuracy specification agreed before any downstream survey begins.

Virtual Tour 3D
Virtual Tour 3D
Using Matterport Pro 3 technology, Site Surveying Services creates immersive 3D walkthroughs — digital twins that allow clients and stakeholders to explore any space remotely in complete detail. From pre-completion marketing and condition recording to virtual inspection of restricted sites and heritage documentation, delivered from scan to model in hours.

Mobile Mapping Surveys
Mobile Mapping Surveys
Site Surveying Services now operates the CHCNAV AU20 MMS — a vehicle-mounted LiDAR platform that captures 2 million points per second at 5mm accuracy while travelling at road speed. Complete, survey-grade 3D data of the full corridor — captured from a moving vehicle, with minimal carriageway presence, in a fraction of the time any static survey method requires.
