BENEFITS

3D laser scanning allows non-invasive data capture that is ideal for documenting complex
environments. The reduced HSE risk and remote nature of capture makes 3D scanning an essential
tool in the measurement of hazardous areas. Rapid measurement through 3D scanning reduces man

hours required on site and significantly alleviates the e ects of downtime and disruption.

BENEFITS OF THE BIM ENVIRONMENT

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming increasingly prevalent within the survey industry
as designers and engineers see tangible benefits from working with 4D parametric design.

There are significant time savings when compared with conventional 2D CAD as all outputs are
linked to a central model which automatically updates when changes are made. BIM also allows

much greater control & Improved collaboration between di erent design disciplines.

AERIAL SURVEYS

NEW PERSPECTIVES - NEW POSSIBILITIES

Aerial surveys carried out with UAVs represent a
cutting-edge method of capturing 3D terrain models, 4k
video and high-resolution imagery. Image outputs can be
amalgamated using high-end photogrammetry to produce
ortho-mosaics of expansive areas in very short timescales.
Inspection reports, line-of-sight and condition surveys, that
utilise the high-definition imagery, are also common aerial
survey outputs. Additionally, heavy-lift UAVs are used to

capture Aerial LIDAR data.

LAND SURVEYS

Conventional land surveys are still very much an
essential part of the construction design process, with

XYZ positions captured on site in real-time. These
surveys provide valuable terrain data and details of

surface features in a very cost-e ective manner.
The robust measurement techniques used can also be
adopted to provide precision control for 3D scanning
surveys as well as the recording of utility location data.

15

UTILITY SURVEYS

16

1ST HORIZON's best-in-class underground utility
investigations provide our clients with a detailed
understanding of subsurface conditions and the
location of service routes.
Before carrying out any construction work or intrusive
ground investigation, an underground utility survey
should first be carried out. This process ensures that the
risk of service strikes through invasive site work is
greatly reduced.

17

CCTV & DRAINAGE

CCTV surveys are a non-intrusive method of carrying out
detailed drainage inspections without the need for a costly and
disruptive excavation process. As well as conventional push-rod

CCTV camera systems, CCTV crawlers can also be used to
inspect larger bore pipes of up to 1000mm in diameter.

Survey reporting software allows inspection data, including
video footage and images, to be documented in real-time. This
information can subsequently be exported in various formats.
