Sectors

Sectors we work in: Surveying and Monitoring for Every Sector

 

Survey Solutions works across 27 sectors grouped into four categories, and we act as one survey partner across all of them, whichever discipline a particular job calls for. Every sector page below tells you who we work for in that sector, what we have delivered by name, and what governs the work, so you can judge us on the record before you pick up the phone. Monitoring runs across all four categories as a multi-year relationship, because most assets need watching long after the first survey is filed.

 

Survey Solutions provides land, building and engineering surveys across 27 sectors. From rail and roads to schools, hospitals and heritage sites, we know the rules, risks and access limits you work within.

 

That means the right survey for your site, planned around how it runs. You get accurate data you can design, build and manage with. With 14 offices across the UK, our teams are never far from your project.

 

  • Built Environment

    Built environment work is privately and commercially commissioned, project by project, and it covers commercial buildings, residential schemes, retail, leisure venues, industrial sites, science parks and data centres.

  • Infrastructure and Utilities

    Infrastructure and utilities are regulated environments, or close enough to one that the same discipline applies throughout.

  • Land and Environmental

    Land and environment covers environmental compliance, rural land use and waterway infrastructure, and each of the sectors inside it buys for a different reason

  • Monitoring Support

    Survey Solutions delivers the multi-year monitoring relationship instead of the one-off survey. Owners who buy structural, environmental and asset monitoring are really buying renewal, because what they need is a supplier still showing up in year three, not simply a report at the end of year one.

  • Public Sector

    Public sector surveys need to fit around buildings that never really close. Schools have pupils, hospitals have patients and prisons, police stations and military sites run around the clock. We plan every survey around the estate, not the other way round.

Built Environment

Surveys for developers who want to unlock a scheme, and for owners who need to run the buildings they already have. We work around occupied buildings, so business carries on.

  • Commercial – measured, topographic and utility surveys for offices and commercial property.
  • Data Centres – surveys for the facility and the power that feeds it.
  • Housebuilding – survey data from site appraisal and planning through to handover.
  • Industrial – surveys for warehouses, distribution centres and industrial sites.
  • Leisure – surveys for leisure venues, planned around opening hours.
  • Retail – reliable data from planning to fit-out and day-to-day operations.

Science and Technology – surveys for science parks, laboratories and research estates.

 

Infrastructure and Utilities

Surveys and monitoring for the networks the UK runs on. We plan around possessions, live operations and strict safety rules.

  • Air Transport – surveys for airports and airfields that keep operating.
  • Energy – surveys for substations and energy networks.
  • Marine and Ports – land and hydrographic surveys for ports, harbours and marine structures.
  • Nuclear – surveys for high-security, highly regulated sites.
  • Rail – engineering surveys and monitoring, planned around possessions.
  • Roads – topographic and utility surveys for highway schemes.
  • Telecoms – surveys for telecoms sites and networks.
  • Water – surveys for water and wastewater assets.

Land and Environmental

Surveys for land, water and the natural environment, often across large or hard-to-reach areas.

Public Sector

Surveys for public estates that can’t close. We work around pupils, patients, prisoners and 24/7 operations, and to the security rules each site needs.

  • Civic – surveys for council and civic buildings.
  • Defence – surveys for secure defence sites.
  • Education – school and college surveys, planned around term time.
  • Emergency Services – surveys for fire, police and ambulance estates.
  • Healthcare – surveys for hospitals and NHS estates that never close.
  • Heritage – non-intrusive surveys for listed and historic buildings.
  • Justice – surveys for prisons and courts.
