SEC

Roads, bridges & public works

Infrastructure

Infrastructure decisions are spatial decisions. SEC gives roads, bridges, utilities and public works a measured picture of existing conditions — and keeps design, construction and handover on one survey framework.

Sector challenges

Where infrastructure projects lose ground

Designing on outdated conditions

Alignments and levels based on old or incomplete mapping surface as clashes and rework during construction.

Corridors through the existing city

New routes crossing live roads, drains and buried networks that must be located before they are cut.

Foundations without ground truth

Structures designed before soils are understood carry cost and schedule risk into every later stage.

Handover without records

Assets entering operation without as-built documentation become the next project's unknown conditions.

Project lifecycle

Feasibility to as-built, on one framework

  1. 01

    Survey control

    Primary and secondary control established for the scheme, tied to network GNSS.

  2. 02

    Existing-condition mapping

    Topographic survey of corridors, junctions and structures as the design basis.

  3. 03

    UAV & LiDAR mapping

    Wide-area and corridor capture for planning, earthworks quantities and progress baselines.

  4. 04

    Subsurface detection

    Underground service survey before excavation and utility diversion design.

  5. 05

    Geotechnical data

    Investigation and testing for pavements, structures and earthworks design.

  6. 06

    GIS for the scheme

    Existing conditions, utilities and design data unified in queryable spatial layers.

  7. 07

    Construction survey

    Setting-out, level control and verification through execution.

    • Construction Survey
    • Engineering Survey
  8. 08

    Reality capture & as-built

    Scanning and as-built survey documenting the finished works for operation and maintenance.

Technology approach

Decisions first, instruments second

One datum for every party

Designers, contractors and supervision working from the same control and the same terrain model.

Quantities from measured surfaces

Earthworks and progress volumes computed from captured surfaces, not estimated from drawings.

Data that outlives the project

Structured GIS handover turns construction records into an operations asset.

Field equipment

CHCNAV

CHCNAV i83 GNSS

A multi-constellation GNSS receiver used for field survey work referenced to the project frame.

Leica Geosystems

Leica FlexLine TS07

A total station of the type used on engineering and construction survey scopes.

Leica Geosystems

Leica DNA03 Digital Level

A digital level of the type used on vertical control and repeat height scopes.
