Road Surveys

Chartered Land & Engineering Surveyors

At Kemp we have over 20 years experience working in what is perhaps the most challenging environment for our surveyors, who are both experienced and trained to deal with the danger and noise levels associated with a live highway environment.

All sites are visited prior to work being undertaken and before surveyors start work they are briefed fully on the task.

Once the work has started, surveys are carried out using non-contact methods wherever possible, in order to minimize disruption to traffic and to ensure the safety of the survey team.

We have worked on the UK's busiest motorways and trunk roads in Cornwall, throughout the South West conducting surveys and setting out works for consultants, contractors and local authorities.

In recent years we have carried out both topographical and utility surveys for the Highways Agency through management agent Enterprise Mouchel. This has included work on projects such as the A30 Bodmin-Indian Queens bypass, the M5 Exeter, the M26 in Kent and the A303 in Hampshire.

Our experience in setting out for road surfacing means that we are more than aware of the problems that poor level control (established by GPS or EDM) can cause during the construction phase.

The survey outputs for highway schemes are always 3D, with MX being the output of choice for highway engineers. 2D CAD compliments the MX data for presentation and plotting, and the scale factor is always set to 1 so that the ambiguities of scale present in the National Grid are negated.
