Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court
A Topo and Detail survey of the proposed site was attended to in 2010 during which the Beacons of the property were placed.
Our engineering survey services have been provided between October 2014 and December 2016 and have included:
- Strip surveys for access road design and localized contour surveys on the site to assist in determining ongoing cut and fill volumes.
- Setting out proposed access and internal roads.
- Setting out of services such as storm-water and sewerage.
- Provisions of a well-distributed set of bench-marks computed from levelling networks.
- Setting out buildings including column positions and wall corners.
- Surveying and monitoring columns under construction.
- Setting out retaining walls, parking areas and curbing.
- Checking floor levels, soffit levels.
- Provisions of as-built plans.
The project has involved both Directors (registered Professional Land Surveyors), and an office Technician to receive and interpret plans received from the consulting engineers.
A registered Survey Technician and sometimes two, to attend to the fieldwork.
Because the site is some 20km from our office, a sound working relationship was established with the on-site Project Manager who issues instructions by email with supporting plans, scheduling when our services would next be required.
The system worked well and we have been proud to be associated with and render services to the engineers, plumbers and constructions company.
Nzimakwe Pipeline Strip Survey
Royal Haskoning DHV on behalf of Ugu District Municipality require a 16 kilometer strip survey along the P284 (Izingolweni Road) from the Mzimakwe Reservoir to the Port Edward Reservoir.
The Survey is to include amongst others:
- A minimum width of 20 meters from the edge on the P284
- Contour Intervals of 0.50 meters.
- All visible features eg. Edge of road, culverts fences building rock outcrops etc.
- Road reserve boundaries
- Cadastral boundaries and land ownership.
- The vegetation and topography along the route fluctuates from open grassland to dense coastal vegetation. A combination of survey methods was employed in order to fulfil the requirements of the project.
- Primary control was linked by GPS onto the three Trigonometrical Beacons along the route.
- Infill survey was performed using EDM Total Stations.
The project has involved the full range of our staff. A registered Surveyor surveying and managing the Project, a Professional Land Surveyor dealing with the cadastral information of the project, and a Survey technician assisting in the areas of dense coastal vegetation.
As the whole project was run in-house we were able to offer the client a full package at a competitive rate.
