Just Some Of The Projects We've Been Involved With
Brook House
Earlier this year we embarked on a surveying project of a large property on the outskirts of London, in leafy Surrey. With the help of our friends at BB Surveys, we documented the buildings and grounds utilising 3D Laser scanning techniques, drone footage and GPRS measurements to build different layered computer models. The video below shows us working on site, and demonstrates some of those computer models we build from the data collected.
Gates of Harlow
Gates is a family-run business and are the main dealers for Ford in Harlow, Essex. The company was established in 1920, and has passed through an incredible five generations of family ownership in nearly a century.
Construction started on a multi-million pound project in the Summer of 2016, in order for the dealership to provide new state of the art showrooms for new and used vehicles. The flagship FordStore™ also provides vehicle service and repair facilities, as well as extensive stocks of parts and accessories. The dealership has a two story car park in order to enable customers to view and drive away their new vehicles within days of ordering.
Target Site Engineering & Survey Ltd were involved in the project from the start. The preparation works involved the demolition of 90% of the existing Ford garage and showroom. Only the existing basement was to remain to form part of the brand new workshop. The cost of the groundworks alone were in the region of £6 million, and the Target team were tasked with providing accurate survey data to set up the baseline and survey control used for the duration of the project.

Barn Conversion in Suffolk
In June 2017 we undertook a 3D laser scan and topographical survey for some private clients who were planning the conversion of a Grade II listed barn adjacent to their home near Stowmarket. As ever, a delicate and sympathetic restoration of the original structure would be key to gaining any potential permissions. Tom from the Target team was called upon to help begin the process of building a rigorous planning application.
In order for us to be able to produce the computer-generated 3D model of the barn and surrounding buildings you can see illustrated in some of the pictures below, multiple scans were required from differing heights and points, both inside and around the structure. All the data was then downloaded on to computer to build a comprehensive Point Cloud in Trimble Realworks. From this point cloud, a three-dimensional model and 2D plans and elevations can be extracted.
The point cloud can also be used to view the interior and exterior in the finest of detail from any vantage point or angle. The multi-coloured model below is an example of how the user can quickly gauge the different elevations around the surveyed area.
