Digital surveying.

Surveys with RTK-GNSS, total station and laser scanner. We record the position and height of cables, pipelines and objects in RD and NAP, as a point cloud or as a vector file for your own CAD and GIS.

Components

What we do, layer by layer.

Each component can be ordered separately. Together they form one drawing that you see grow in the client portal.

02.1

RTK-GNSS survey

We survey points, lines and objects with RTK-GNSS to within a few centimetres. Where satellite reception is limited, we switch to a total station.

02.2

Laser scan and point cloud

An open trench, crossing or structure is captured in one go with a laser scanner. The point cloud shows position, depth and surroundings in 3D, even after the trench has been closed.

02.3

Processing to CAD and GIS

From the measurements we draw cables, pipelines, manholes and ground level as lines and objects. You receive a file that fits straight into your own CAD or GIS environment.

02.4

As-built

After construction we survey the realised position and process it into as-built drawings for the grid operator. Deviations from the design are made visible.

Input and output

What you provide and what you get back.

What we need from you

Don’t have everything yet? A proposed route or a question is enough to start.

  1. Work area or route
  2. What needs to be surveyed
  3. Required format and drawing standard
  4. Construction schedule, for as-built surveys

What you receive

Everything is stored in your project file in the client portal, also after handover.

  • CSVSurvey_RD_NAP.csvPoints with X, Y and Z
  • LASPoint_cloud_K01.las3D scan of the location
  • DXFSurvey_vector.dxfDrawn lines and objects
  • DWGAs-built_sheet-01.dwgRealised position to NLCS

Measured to the centimetre, recorded for years.

A good survey is worth more than the day it was made. At the next intervention you know exactly what lies where.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

More in the knowledge base
01

How accurate are your surveys?

With RTK-GNSS we measure to within a few centimetres, in RD coordinates and NAP height. A total station or laser scanner can be more accurate, depending on the situation.

02

When is a laser scan useful?

In complex situations with many cables and pipelines, at crossings and structures, and when a trench is only open for a short time. The scan captures everything at once.

03

In which format do you deliver?

Points as CSV, point clouds as LAS and drawn data as DXF or DWG. We agree on your own format or drawing standard in advance.
