Why is data accuracy important in surveying for infrastructure projects?

Land surveying is essential when it comes to the measuring and mapping of land and physical features. With accurate land surveys, you can determine property boundaries, support building projects, and create topographical maps. Accuracy is essential when it comes to surveying for infrastructure projects.

What Affects Surveying Accuracy?

There are many factors that impact the accuracy of surveys. One is the equipment used. At MB Survey Solutions, we use modern surveying techniques and technologies, which can be affected by a variety of sources. Total stations, for example, can be affected by changes in temperature, while GPS signals can be disrupted due to interference from other sources, even atmospheric conditions.

Weather plays a big role in the accuracy of infrastructure surveys. Heavy rain and snow makes it difficult to take accurate measurements, while rugged terrain can obstruct our line of sight.

How We Ensure Data Accuracy for Infrastructure Projects

We use a number of different techniques to ensure we provide you with accurate data for your infrastructure project. The first approach is the used of a number of different survey methods, such as using traditional techniques combined with GPS.

We have set quality control measures in place. This includes the regular calibration of our surveying equipment, thoroughly reviewing the data we have collected for any errors, ensuring we provide accurate data to ensure the best end results.

What Are Infrastructure Projects?

Infrastructure projects are focused on the development and maintenance of systems, facilities, and services. These can include:

  • Bridges – bridge infrastructure construction is overseeing the cost and maintenance of bridges, including high traffic motorway bridges that are used on a daily basis.
  • Railway – Railway infrastructure is essential in the UK, a popular public transport option that requires the innovation and safety of trains and subways. Infrastructure projects focus on the track layout, bridges, tunnels, and steel supplies
  • Roads – road infrastructure includes the building on new streets, roads, and motorways for transit, overseeing the development of projects to improve transportation to communities throughout the country.

With accurate data in front of your during an infrastructure project, you can identify any risks throughout the project cycle, ensuring it is profitable and resilient.
