Overview
The site of a former office building in Milton Keynes, currently undergoing demolition. The developers needed a comprehensive set of surveys to get a clear picture of the site, especially where all the utilities were located.
Survey
Any project where more than one survey is required needs to be well planned and managed in order to coordinate the right people and equipment to be in the right place at the right time.
Demolition work adds another layer of complexity. Health and safety are always of paramount importance, but when there is demolition going on around when surveyors have to work, extra care and attention needs to be factored into the planning process.
First the Topographical Survey was completed on site whilst the building was still being demolished. This meant our surveyors had to safely operate around personnel on site to ensure all areas of the site could be safely and quickly surveyed.
The utility survey and CCTV survey was conducted the next day to ensure all drainage could be efficiently surveyed and any utilities could be traced both across site and the surrounding roads.
