West Yorkshire Culvert

Published on by Jonathan Simpson Tarling

Survey Solutions delivered rapid confined space culvert surveys in West Yorkshire—supporting urgent infrastructure repairs with accurate, next-day data.

Critical Survey of Culvert in West Yorkshire Keeps Infrastructure Works on Track

When infrastructure repairs depend on urgent site data, having the capability to respond quickly and safely makes all the difference. At a busy retail park in West Yorkshire, Survey Solutions was appointed to carry out a detailed survey of a culvert with restricted access. The goal: provide the clarity needed to support time-sensitive remedial works.

Recommended by our long-standing client CCS Consulting, we were brought in by Avison Young to survey a culvert where conditions were complex. The structure’s construction varied along its length, and numerous underground utility services added an extra layer of risk. With both health and safety and the overall project timeline at stake, accurate data was essential.

Rapid Confined Space Assessment Enables Safe and Accurate Project Planning

We began with a full topographical survey to assess the surrounding area and determine safe entry requirements. The findings confirmed that confined space access was necessary. Our experienced team, equipped with the right qualifications and safety gear, was mobilised immediately. Within a single working day, we completed both the measured and utility surveys. Final drawings and deliverables were issued the very next day.

Our responsive approach, combined with in-house expertise and certified confined space capability, ensured that the client received fast, accurate, and actionable information. This enabled the project team to proceed with confidence and kept a critical infrastructure programme moving forward without disruption.

This successful project demonstrates our ability to manage high-stakes survey challenges, particularly in constrained environments. Whether it’s a culvert in West Yorkshire or complex infrastructure elsewhere, Survey Solutions delivers the assurance clients need—safely, quickly, and efficiently.

We were pleased with Survey Solutions’ responsiveness and professionalism. They completed the surveys diligently and without disruption to the site’s retail tenants and their customers. The drawings provided gave us the precise location of where remedial works are required.
