A Trimble R12 GNSS receiver and S7 robotic total station are being used together for surveying. The GNSS receiver is mounted on a tripod and is receiving satellite signals, while the robotic total station is pointing at a reflector pole. The two instruments are connected wirelessly and are working together to provide accurate measurements of distances and angles.

What is GNSS Surveying?

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) surveying uses satellite positioning technology to determine highly accurate ground coordinates. Modern RTK GNSS systems use real-time corrections to achieve survey-grade accuracy suitable for construction, engineering and land surveying applications.

GNSS technology is widely used throughout the surveying industry because it provides:

Fast data capture over large areas
Highly accurate positioning
Reliable national grid coordinates
Reduced time on site
Efficient surveying in open environments
Accurate survey control for construction projects

At Landtech Surveys, we use professional-grade Trimble GNSS equipment capable of achieving centimetre accuracy in real-world site conditions.

Our GNSS Surveying Services

We provide a wide range of GNSS and GPS surveying services throughout Derbyshire, East Midlands and the whole of the UK.

Topographical Surveys

GNSS technology allows us to efficiently undertake detailed topographical land surveys for:

Housing developments
Commercial developments
Infrastructure projects
Agricultural land
Renewable energy sites
Industrial facilities

Our surveys provide accurate terrain, boundary and feature information suitable for planning, design and construction.

Site Control Surveys

We establish precise site control networks for construction and engineering projects using RTK GNSS equipment tied into the Ordnance Survey National Grid.

This ensures all project data is accurately referenced and consistent throughout the construction process.

Construction Setting Out

We provide accurate setting out services for:

Foundations
Roads
Drainage
Steel frames
Earthworks
Utilities
Infrastructure projects
Ground Investigation

GNSS technology enables efficient positioning across large construction sites while maintaining survey accuracy.

Boundary & Land Surveys

GNSS surveying can be used to accurately locate boundaries, fences, land parcels and existing site features for landowners, developers and legal professionals.

Drone Survey Ground Control

We establish highly accurate ground control points for drone and aerial mapping surveys to improve overall survey precision and geospatial accuracy.

Volumetric & Earthworks Surveys

GNSS equipment is ideal for:

Stockpile surveys
Quarry surveys
Cut and fill calculations
Earthworks monitoring
Bulk material volume calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RTK GNSS surveying?

RTK (Real Time Kinematic) GNSS surveying uses satellite positioning with real-time correction data to achieve highly accurate survey measurements.

How accurate is GNSS surveying?

Modern RTK GNSS systems can typically achieve accuracies of around 10–20mm horizontally and 20–30mm vertically under suitable conditions.

Is GNSS surveying suitable for construction projects?

Yes. GNSS surveying is widely used for construction site control, setting out, topographical surveys and infrastructure projects.

Can GNSS surveying be used for boundary surveys?

Yes. GNSS equipment can accurately locate boundaries and land features when suitable survey control is established. GNSS equipment can also be used to correlate scan data to national grid.

What areas do you cover?

We primarily work across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands, but we also undertake projects throughout the UK.
