JG Engineering provides setting out engineers covering setting out services across various sectors, including civil engineering, groundworks, earthworks, RC frame, and portal frame construction, whilst at the same time ensuring quality standards are kept high. We provide professional, affordable, and reliable service to our clients.
Setting out is the process of transferring construction drawings from paper to the physical site, ensuring that structures are built according to specifications. This service is crucial in the construction industry, as it provides accurate positioning for foundations, walls, and other critical elements of a project. JG Engineering uses advanced tools such as total stations, GPS equipment, and laser levels to measure and mark the exact locations, elevations, and dimensions needed for the construction buildup. Construction teams can minimise errors, enhance efficiency, and ensure compliance with architectural designs and regulations. These services ultimately contribute to successful project execution, helping to keep timelines and budgets on track.
JG Engineering has a well-qualified survey team for all your needs, delivering precise and detailed mapping of land surfaces, which is essential for construction, land development, and environmental assessments.
Utilising advanced surveying techniques, including GPS, laser scanning, and aerial drone technology, we can carry out topographical surveys to capture elevation changes, natural features, and man-made structures. This data is then analysed and transformed into comprehensive maps and 3D models, enabling clients to make informed decisions about site planning and design. With a commitment to accuracy and quality, such a service not only enhances project efficiency but also ensures compliance with regulatory standards, ultimately contributing to the successful execution of construction and development projects.
JG Engineering can carry out drone surveys using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to capture data over large areas for various applications. These services can provide high-resolution aerial imagery, topographic maps, and other geospatial data. This is particularly useful in construction, agriculture, mining, and environmental monitoring.
Here are some key features and benefits of drone survey services:
A drone is used to collect aerial data with high-resolution cameras and sensors. This data is processed to create maps, 3D models, and other geospatial information
JG Engineering is experienced in the setup and use of GPS machine control, from setting up an initial base station to transmit a radio signal to GPS machines to checking machines for positions and locations, recalibrating machines, taking design drawings, and producing 3D models for the machines to use on site.
GPS machine control refers to the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology in heavy machinery and construction equipment to enhance precision and efficiency in earthmoving and grading operations. By integrating GPS receivers and advanced software into heaving plant, operators can receive real-time positioning data, which allows them to accurately assess their current location and elevation. This technology facilitates automated machine guidance, enabling equipment to follow pre-set design with minimal manual intervention. As a result, GPS machine control improves productivity, reduces wasted time, and enhances the overall quality of work in applications such as site grading, excavation, and road construction. Additionally, it minimises the likelihood of errors, leading to safer and more efficient construction processes.
JG Engineering has a team of surveyors who can produce earthworks volumes by traditional methods or drone surveys to capture earthworks volumes and produce drawings for presentation to our clients.
Earthworks volumes refer to the measurement of soil and material that is excavated, moved, or filled during construction projects, particularly in activities such as grading, excavation, and landscaping. Accurate calculation of earthworks volumes is essential for effective project management, as it informs material requirements, cost estimation, and scheduling. Typically, these volumes are computed using methods such as cross-sections and advanced software solutions that utilise 3D modelling and GPS data. By understanding the specific volumes of cut (excavated material) and fill (material added), project managers can ensure proper balance between materials, minimise waste, and optimise site preparation. This is crucial for maintaining project efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and adhering to budget constraints.
This process involves emitting thousands of laser beams per second to measure distances to the surrounding objects, resulting in a dense point cloud that accurately reflects the geometries of the scanned area. JG Engineering can carry out laser scan surveys in the following sections: construction, architecture, engineering, and forensics, due to its ability to provide precise and detailed data quickly. The resulting data can be processed to create detailed 3D models, structural analyses, and virtual simulations, aiding in project planning, design, and documentation. Additionally, laser scanning is particularly beneficial for capturing complex shapes and large areas that would be difficult to measure manually, making it a valuable tool for enhancing accuracy and efficiency in various applications.
Survey control establishment is a fundamental process in surveying that involves the creation of a precise network of reference points to ensure accurate measurements for construction, mapping, and various engineering projects. This process typically begins with the selection of stable and accessible locations for control points, often marked using durable materials like feno markers or survey nails. JG Engineering employs techniques such as GPS, total stations, and levelling methods to precisely determine the coordinates and elevations of these points. Establishing survey control is critical for ensuring consistency and reliability in subsequent surveys, as it provides a framework within which all measurements can be referenced. A well-established control network allows for accurate data collection, reduces errors, and facilitates effective communication among project stakeholders, ultimately leading to successful project outcomes.
