Surveying

Silkstone Environmental Ltd provides a complete in-house land and engineering survey service to the minerals, waste and construction industries. Geodimeter 500 series total stations are used to establish site control networks and for on-site data collection. Data is processed using LSS digital terrain modelling software from McCarthy Taylor Partnership and 3-dimensional models can be produced for a wide range of purposes. AutoCad is used to present plans, sections and elevations in electronic or paper format. Topographical surveys can be provided to a Client as an end product at any level of accuracy and detail. Surveys are also integrated into all branches of the company. As such they provide the basis of subsequent project design for planning and development work.

Our services include:

• Topographic surveying of greenfield and brownfield development sites, quarry excavations and ancillary works and landfill sites.
• Surveying borehole and piezometer locations, geological features and discontinuities and creating 3D geological and hydrological models.
• Comprehensive 3D design and volumetric calculations for quarry design and landfill cell design.
• Monitoring and quantification of quarry reserves removed/remaining and waste placed/void space remaining for landfill.
• Stockpile surveys and volumes.
• Setting out and surveying of landfill cell engineered clay liners and caps for the production of waste management and quarry Quality Assurance drawings and reports.
• Cut/fill assessments, design and setting out of restoration profiles, monitoring of post-restoration settlement.
• Setting up control targets for quarry face profiling and blast monitoring.
• 3D flyover presentations, visual intrusion assessments and other visual aids for presentation purposes.
