Topographical surveys are instrumental in flood risk assessments. By accurately mapping the land’s elevations and contours, these surveys help identify areas susceptible to flooding, including sites near the East Devon coast and river valleys. This information is vital for planning and implementing effective drainage and flood prevention measures.
Most surveys in East Devon can be completed within a day or two, depending on the size and accessibility of the land. After that, deliverables such as CAD plans or digital terrain models are processed and shared within agreed timeframes.
We use drone technology alongside traditional GPS and laser scanning methods to capture accurate survey data, especially useful for coastal sites along the Jurassic Coast and larger rural sites across East Devon.
The cost of a topographical survey in East Devon depends on factors such as site size, terrain complexity, and deliverables required. Merrett Survey provides bespoke quotations based on your site and project needs, including CAD, GIS, and 3D visualisation outputs.
