Surveying

As cities grow and land uses evolve, reliable spatial data is pivotal to the effective design and management of built and natural environments. Our surveying services can capture, interpret and present smart spatial information you can rely on, to prevent even the smallest errors at the beginning of a project that could have a major impact on design and delivery down the line.

At RPS, we deliver a comprehensive range of onshore and offshore surveying services, playing a vital role in supporting some of the most prestigious development projects across the UK and Europe.

Spatial information you can rely on

Using state-of-the-art technologies, we help architects, engineers and contractors to understand their operational environment, design with confidence, and deliver projects on time and on budget.

From minutely accurate point cloud models that help streamline the design process and avoid costly clashes for architects, to hydrographic surveys that help offshore operators understand the topography of the ocean floor, our surveyors and mapping specialists can customise a spatial solution to fit your unique project requirements, systems and stakeholders.
