The Fire Safety Regulations 2022
Earlier this year, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations came into force requiring responsible persons of high rise residential buildings in England to share with their local fire and rescue services copies of up to date floor plans which show the position of fire fighting equipment.
In our latest blog, we cover the regulations in more detail and show how we can help provide the accurate and reliable building data you need to ensure compliance.
Detecting water leaks: Preserving buildings and promoting sustainability
In our latest blog, Rich Glenn discusses the importance of water leak detection, the potential consequences of undetected leaks, and how our non-intrusive water leak detection methods can safeguard your building whilst promoting sustainability. Water leaks might seem like minor inconveniences, but they can escalate into major issues that can compromise the structural integrity of buildings, damage property and assets and waste precious resources. Here at Survey Solutions we specialise in utilising cutting-edge water leak detection technology to identify hidden leaks in all types of buildings and for all types of businesses.
The factors that impact underground surveys
Our underground utility surveys utilise the very latest Electromagnetic Location (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technologies, offering a multitude of benefits that go beyond reducing utility strikes and the safeguarding of works and the public. However, there are also potential constraints that can impact the results of a survey. In this blog we’ll explore the benefits as well as the limitations of each method.
Five surveying services you probably need to know about
As one of the UK’s largest engineering surveyors, we confidently claim that expertise, experience and exceeding expectations are three ways that we set ourselves apart from other companies in our field. But there are other ways too, including the range and types of surveying services we offer, many of which utilise some of the very latest technologies and innovations on the market.
This blog introduces some of the more specialist services that we provide – some of which you may not be so familiar with, or that you may assume are quite niche, but actually have wide-ranging applications.
The five steps to a successful monitoring project
Structural and environmental monitoring provides essential data to understand the impact of demolition, excavation, tunnelling, construction or heavy groundwork on nearby buildings and assets, as well as the local environment – both above and below ground. The data can help determine whether there are any potential problems that require remedial action.
Our monitoring solutions combine the latest in monitoring technologies alongside secure cloud based hosting and reporting systems. We offer a full range of monitoring services and solutions. Our specialist teams in our offices across the UK have years of experience designing, specifying, installing and carrying out monitoring programmes on buildings, from new builds to heritage properties, commercial, retail and leisure buildings, as well as major structures including bridges, viaducts, sea defences and retaining walls.
We’ve broken down a monitoring programme into five stages to give you an understanding of what’s involved when you request a structural and/or environmental scheme from us.

What’s the difference between BIM, Revit and Digital Twin?
Even within our industry there’s a lot of confusion around the definitions and uses of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Revit and Digital Twins. The lines between them can be a little blurry, and quite often it’s presumed that BIM and a Revit model are the same thing. They’re not. They each serve their own purpose. Let’s explore in a bit more detail, starting with BIM.
