What we do
Civil surveying in and around Rochester
- Control & site establishment
- Drainage setout
- Kerb, barrier & linemarking setout
- Fill layer pickups & conformance reporting
- GPS machine control setup
- GPS localisations
- GPS machine file creation (Trimble, Topcon, Leica + others)
- Volume surveys (cut/fill, stockpiles)
Establishment, drainage and kerb setout
We start by establishing and validating control across the Rochester site and tying it to AHD and the design coordinate system, then set out the works from the design model: drainage alignments, pit positions and invert levels, kerb and barrier lines, and linemarking. Marks are placed at intervals the crews can work to and re-established promptly when construction removes them. Because everything references the same control, the elements built weeks apart still fit together when they meet.
Built weeks apart, still fitting together.
Guidance, conformance and quantities
GPS machine control files are built from the design, localisations run on site and systems configured for Trimble, Topcon, Leica and others, with trimmed surfaces surveyed to confirm the machines are grading to the right model. Fill layer pickups are reported against design tolerance layer by layer, and volume surveys deliver cut, fill and stockpile quantities for progress claims and reconciliation. A Rochester civil job gets its productivity, its compliance record and its numbers from the same survey data.
One dataset, three jobs done.
What you receive
- Site control & establishment

FAQs
Civil Surveying Rochester surveying questions
Control and site establishment, drainage, kerb and linemarking setout, GPS machine control setup and localisations, fill layer pickups with conformance reporting, and volume surveys.
Yes. Marks get destroyed on any active site, so re-establishing them promptly is part of the job rather than a separate exercise.
Often, yes. Because we capture full data on each visit, the same pickup can support layer conformance and quantity reporting without a second attendance.
Yes. Rochester is within our core service area, with a site visit guaranteed inside 10 days and quotes answered within two.
