Severn Partnership has over 30 years of experience surveying UK highways and bridges, allowing them to collaborate on major infrastructure projects. They provide surveying services for all aspects of roads, including 3D laser scanning to create models and visualizations. Using modern equipment efficiently helps minimize costs while ensuring quality.

1. Highways & Bridges
Summary
The surveying of the UK’s roads has traditionally been a core
activity of Severn Partnership, allowing us to draw upon
over 30 years of highway and bridge surveying experience
throughout the UK and overseas. Recent trends in highways
congestion and maintenance suggests enduring collaboration
with some of the countries leading civil engineers on some of
the largest national projects.
Overview
Severn partnership has vast knowledge of surveying services
within the highways sector, with our work covering all aspects
of infrastructure, motorways, including trunk roads, car parks,
residential, and city centre infrastructure and all associated
structures. All projects are delivered within the Department of
Transport (DOT) highways specification.
Efficiency
Utilisation of the most modern equipment combined with
careful Road worker action plans allow for maximized
production rates allowing staff to complete large amounts of
work in limited time periods. Time on site is invariably costly.
Our experienced survey teams can action the specification
efficiently, minimizing your costs, while still adhering to
methods of best practice which guarantee quality.
Remote Access survey techniques are used to avoid the need
for traffic management, road or lane closure; using robotic
reflectorless total stations and Laser scanners creating 3D
point clouds. Laser scanners mounted on a vehicle or mobile
mapping as it is known brings great flexibility, safety, delivery
and value.

2. Expertise
Numerous highway and bridge surveys have been completed
over the years, the difference being Severn Partnership has
built on this experience and brought further client value by
providing increased levels of data and greater visibility to the
project. Conventional 2D plans have been upgraded to 3D data
sets with laser point clouds, which are then rendered into 3D
Models. These are augmented with 360 degree high intensity
“pano images” and visualisations.
Deliverables include:
• Topographical survey (3D DWG)
• Registered scan cloud dataset
• Hard copy colour plan at defined scale (1:50. 1:100, 1:200,
1:500, 1:1000, 1:1250)
• Survey linked to O.S National Grid if required
• Digital data as DXF or DWG file
• MX Moss data GEN file
• Witness diagrams and station descriptions
• A well installed, secure network of survey control stations
(for future work)
Excavation and Volumetrics
Utilising the latest survey software, Severn Partnership can offer
solutions to compute volumes for excavation in highway related
projects. Our ability to construct accurate Digital Terrain Models
provides the basis for precise area and volumetric analysis often
with quantity surveying implications.
Deliverables:
• Digital Terrain Models (DTM)
• Contour plans
• Isopachyte contours
• Defined Areas
• Volumes:
• Cut & Fill
• Between surfaces
• From a datum level
• From a datum plane
• From an inclined plane
