Topographical Surveys

A topographical survey is used to compile a comprehensive base map which provides critical spatial information with pin-point accuracy. They serve to measure in detail the contours and boundaries of any landscape, including the existing features within it such as trees, buildings electric pylons, street lights, stretches of water, walls, fences etc, in order to plot a new house, structure or road for planning purposes. These type of surveys can also greatly assist architects or design teams with potential site constraints such as diverse gradients, surrounding utility services or spot heights of surrounding land and features.

A huge survey was carried out for a private client in Ipswich, Suffolk. A 70 acre topographical survey of Park Farm in Wherstead.

I first made contact with Tom and the team from Target Site Engineering & Surveys after a personal recommendation of their services two years ago. With the technical landscaping projects we undertake, precision and detail is critical from beginning to end. Target SES has been responsible for setting out and surveying many of our recent projects including Here East in Stratford, Level 10 and 16 Roof Gardens at Principle Place in Shoreditch, the Chelsea Royal Hospital Gardens, and the Silver Gilt Award-Winning Silk Road Garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Tom’s work is always meticulous, and that allows us to lay the foundations of our projects with absolute confidence. Willerby Landscapes and Target SES are currently working on further projects in London, Cambridge and Surrey, and I would highly recommend their services to prospective new customers.

A timely and accurate service is what we require from professional surveyors and Target SES provides that. Of all the surveying companies we work with on a regular basis, however, we find Target SES to be most progressive in terms of embracing the latest technology and taking on interesting projects where ’thinking outside the box’ is a must. They are good people to know and work with.

Tom Stebbing

I have had the privilege of working with Tom for over ten years. Tom has supported us on a range of diverse construction projects from reconstruction of sections of the A14, Highways England Award winning Machine Control Project, to upgrading the A13 to facilitate the operation of the new deep water port for D P World at Shellhaven.

RG Carter has been using the services of Target Site Engineering and Surveys on approximately fifteen of our building projects for around three years now. Tom and his team have most recently worked with us on the brand new Ford Store in Harlow, as well as a Grain Store in Ipswich Docks, the MMDIC building at Colchester hospital and the STEM building at Walthamstow Forest College.

We call upon Target SES time and again because they offer a prompt, reliable service that’s always delivered to time and budget. Tom’s experience and depth-of-understanding of what’s required on each of our projects is invaluable to us, and that’s why I would highly recommend Target’s services to you.
