ROAD SURVEYING

McDonald Surveys have a long-established history of successful road construction across many countries. Our approach is based on harnessing our international experience and people alongside our adoption of leading technology platforms and equipment, often provided by our long-standing supply partners.

Our Road Surveying expertise is broad and can be broken down into the following areas;

1. Control Network

A Road or Freeway Survey Control Network is a fundamental requirement for any project. Accuracy is critical to the ultimate surveying, design, construction, validation, as-built process for practical completion, and long-term desirable maintenance outcomes. Technology advancements and our deployment of state-of-the-art equipment allow us to establish accurate, stable and fit-for-purpose control networks. Much of this is enhanced through our on-ground experience over many years.

2. Connected Site Solution

In order to deliver the broader scope of road construction works; Construction Set-Out, Earthworks, Surfacing, Structures, Volumetric Analysis, Compliance & Practical Completion and Structural Monitoring, our preference is to adopt what we call a “Connected Site Solution”. This solution can take many forms but always incorporate leading communication and operational technology.

A Connected Site Solution primarily comprises:

• Wireless Internet or Cell Base Station Service (IBSS),
• VisionLink (3D Project Monitoring – As Built data, automated Load and Cycle monitoring, Mass Haul monitoring)
• Machine Guidance
• Business Centre Software
• Fleet Management
• Elevation Profiling
• Volume Analysis
• Asset Cell Coverage
• Reporting 3D Data
• Supervisor Site Positioning Systems
• 3D Paving Control System
• Compaction Control Systems
• Wheel Loader Weighing Systems
• Kinetic Mesh Wireless Networks
