Surveying Services in Oldham
GPR Sheepfoot Lane
For this project on Sheepfoot Lane in Oldham, we employed innovative Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic location technology to meticulously clear eight borehole locations before drilling commenced.
Recognising the critical importance of avoiding any disruption to existing underground utilities, our team used GPR to scan and map the subsurface conditions with high precision, detecting the presence and depth of buried services such as water pipes, electrical cables, and gas lines. Complementing this with electromagnetic locators, we ensured an accurate identification of utility lines to prevent any accidental strikes during the drilling process.
This thorough and advanced survey approach allowed us to provide our client with detailed and reliable data, significantly mitigating the risk of encountering underground services and ensuring a smooth and safe drilling operation. The successful application of these technologies underscored our commitment to precision and safety in site preparation, essential for the efficient progress of the project.

Land and Engineering Surveyors
topographical surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.
utility mapping
Using the latest equipment, we can provide the location of underground services in either 2D or 3D. We use state of the art Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Location to assist your project when service avoidance may be a potential issue on site.
monitoring
Is there any movement? That is the question that is asked before and during any monitoring scheme. That is the reason we undertake monitoring, to check for movement.
laser scanning
For mass collection of accurate survey data then nothing beats scanning. Using 3D laser Scanners the surveyors can capture millions of points per second with the creation of a PointCloud.
volumetric analysis
We specialise in the analysis of a scheme’s volumetrics at any point in time. Be it Tender, Prestart, Monthly, Weekly, or Final.
Bathymetric surveys
By using the latest surveying technology, we have been able to survey watercourses safely and efficiently.
setting out & site engineering
Bread and butter work for us! Having a strong relationship with many civil engineering companies we have a very strong team of Site Engineers and Engineering Surveyors working for us.
control network installation
At Tri-Tech we have vast experience in this field. Be it a large highway scheme or a private property we can advise on what accuracies are required from your control network depending on what work you are carrying out and the tolerances you are carrying this work out to.
uav mapping & aerial surveys
Large areas of ground can be covered capturing the most unbelievable detail which would just be unable to be recorded with traditional methods. Our clients have really seen the benefit of what UAV surveys bring to the table.
measured building surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.
3d machine control
Machine control systems have been around for years now and Tri-tech have been utilising these systems from the very start. We realised the benefits of these systems early on when working with earthworks contractors.
survey equipment hire
Being a leader in the Surveying and Engineering sector we have a fleet of modern survey equipment at our disposal which is second to none. We carry the latest GNSS Base Stations, GNSS Rovers, Robotic Total Stations, Laser Scanners, Digital Levels, and Dual Grade Lasers.
BIM Model Creation
BIM (Building Information Modelling) model creation in surveying refers to the process of using specialised software to create a 3D digital model of a building or infrastructure project that includes information about the project’s design, construction, and maintenance.
