Surveying within the railway environment requires specialist techniques as the modern railway is a dangerous place with safety issues often verbalizing the need for non-contact measurement using instrumentation such direct reading total stations, laser scanning as well as conventional equipment on line possessions at night. We carry out topographic surveys from existing level crossing that require a high degree of accuracy, monitoring of embankments and surveys of railway infrastructure and associated projects. Using the latest robotic surveying instruments and 3D laser scanning equipment, we are able to produce incredibly accurate profiles of tunnels, platforms or any other structure where proximity to the track needs to be measured.
