A topographical survey is often the starting point - but it only tells part of the story.

In our latest newsletter, we explore why combining topographical, measured building and underground utility detection surveys helps developers, contractors, architects and consultants make more informed decisions before design work begins.

We also spotlight our recent work for Bruntwood at Booths Park, where all three survey services helped support a masterplan for a 220-acre mixed-use estate.

Inside this edition:
🔹 Why separate surveys can create delays and inconsistencies
🔹 How one coordinated approach can reduce costs
🔹 A closer look at our Booths Park project
🔹 The standard deliverables clients can expect from our geospatial team

Powers supported King’s School, Chester with a range of surveys, including topographical, measured building and underground utility surveys , as part of proposals for a new sixth form block and science extension.

Working within a live school environment and across a tight programme over the Christmas period, the team delivered the surveys safely and efficiently, capturing detailed information across both the site and existing buildings.

The data provided a clear understanding of existing conditions - both above and below ground - helping to support the next stage of design.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 ✅

We’ve successfully passed our latest audits, independently audited by a UKAS-accredited certification body (Centre for Assessment), for:

🔹 ISO 9001 - Quality Management
🔹ISO 14001 - Environmental Management
🔹ISO 45001 - Health & Safety Management
🔹PAS 128 - Underground Utility Detection

𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝.

These accreditations reflect our commitment to quality, safety and environmental standards across the business - not just in theory, but in how we operate day to day.

We carry out regular internal checks and mini audits throughout the year, so audit standards are embedded in our processes - not something we prepare for.

We have also maintained our PAS 128 accreditation through continued surveillance audits, demonstrating consistent compliance with industry best practice.

If you require reliable survey data delivered to the highest standards, we would be pleased to support your next project.

𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞 👏

A great piece highlighting the role apprenticeships play in building the future of geospatial surveying - and why investing in people matters.

At Powers, apprenticeships aren’t a tick-box exercise.
They’re part of the business strategy.

From Level 3 foundations through to long-term progression, it’s about developing surveyors who are ready for site, not just the classroom. We’re also looking forward to supporting members of our team onto the Level 6 Geospatial Mapping and Science Specialist Degree Apprenticeship this September.

The article also touches on something we all know in the industry…
➡️ geospatial is still a “hidden” career

Which is exactly why this kind of work matters - raising awareness, creating opportunities, and showing young people what’s possible.

Great to see the team recognised 👏

Thanks to Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors - CICES for the feature.

Lucy Powers was in Twickenham yesterday for the The Survey Association (TSA) AGM & Stakeholder Event, where the sector came together to shape what comes next - including the launch of the new 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿.

It’s clear from the conversations throughout the day that things are shifting.

👉 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 - 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱.

The Unity Charter is a big step in that direction, focusing on:

🔹 Raising awareness of geospatial expertise
🔹 Strengthening skills and attracting new talent
🔹 Influencing decision-making at a higher level
🔹 Bringing the industry together under one clear voice

There was a real sense of momentum in the room - from the opening speeches through to the networking sessions.

One message that came through loud and clear: 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀.

Big conversations. Big opportunities. And a big step forward for the industry.

𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 🥳

Today, we’re recognising the vital role surveyors play in shaping the world around us.

‘Providing measured surveys for construction and infrastructure to land, utilities and development, surveyors are the ones providing the data that everything else is built on.

This year’s European theme focuses on Artificial Intelligence in surveying - highlighting how technology is continuing to transform the industry.

At Powers, we’re seeing first-hand how advancements in geospatial data, digital mapping and AI are improving accuracy, efficiency and decision-making across projects.

But while the tools are evolving, the importance of skilled surveyors remains the same. It’s their expertise that turns data into something meaningful.

A big thank you to our team and to surveyors across the industry 👏

We were appointed by Bruntwood to deliver a full suite of measured building, topographical and PAS 128 underground utilities surveys at Booths Park, forming the geospatial foundation of their mixed-use Masterplan.

Our work included:

🔹 Estate-wide topographical survey - including adjacent land
🔹 Measured building surveys to Booths Hall and four additional buildings
🔹 Control grid
🔹 PAS 128 utilities detection across the core campus

The topo survey identified level changes of up to two metres - critical when determining future building heights.

The PAS 128 survey mapped complex service routes that will directly inform the 2026 infrastructure phase, where utilities will be rationalised into a central corridor.

The whole project was delivered in phased packages throughout 2024, allowing priority areas to move forward first while maintaining a coordinated approach across the full 220-acre estate - providing the data needed to move confidently into the next phase of development.
