Information on our Surveying Techniques
Working with a Total Station
At NCW Surveys, our team utilised a Total Station to establish highly accurate control across the site. This instrument played a key role in setting out survey stations and tying all data into a consistent coordinate system. It allowed us to verify key structural elements and ensure that measurements taken throughout the building aligned precisely with external control. The Total Station also supported us in checking the accuracy of the scan data and enhancing the overall reliability of the survey results, especially in areas where GPS was not viable.
Working with a GPS Unit
To establish robust site control and capture external topographical data, we used our Trimble R12i GPS units. These high-spec GNSS systems enabled the NCW Surveys team to record accurate coordinates for manholes, drainage runs, and other surface features, all tied into the national grid. With tilt compensation and exceptional satellite tracking performance, the R12i allowed us to maintain efficiency even in areas with reduced sky visibility. This GPS data was essential in georeferencing the overall survey and mapping out external sewer infrastructure as part of the deliverables.
Working with a Laser Scanner
For the detailed building recording, NCW Surveys deployed the Leica RTC360 3D laser scanner, which allowed us to capture high-density point cloud data of both the interior and exterior. Its speed, accuracy, and onboard Visual Inertial System (VIS) meant we could scan efficiently while maintaining excellent registration quality. This scanner formed the backbone of our data collection process, enabling us to create detailed architectural drawings, floor layouts, and timber joist directions with confidence. The scan data also served as a reliable base for extracting structural information and informing design decisions for the Limerick Diocese project.
