Construction surveys are a must for infrastructure and development projects, as these are used to determine the feasibility of a project. During the designing, planning, and pre-construction of a project, construction surveys help in bringing a project from conception to reality by providing the site engineers with accurate information about the boundary analysis, maps, and topographic surveys. Construction surveys provide topographic measurements, utility overviews, and conditions of sidewalks to ensure that the project starts off right and stays that way.

The purpose of construction surveys is to maintain and establish the necessary vertical and horizontal control for a construction project. It involves the use of research, reconnaissance, control, and mapping of the project area, to establish the survey control scheme. These are used by the site engineers for establishing the location and alignment of highways, bridges, roadblocks, and other man-made objects.

In building construction, the surveys help with the correct placement of footings, foundations, piers, and other items that are essential for a sound structure. Construction surveys can take many forms, such as:

  • Survey of the existing buildings
  • Boundary surveys
  • Geological and geotechnical surveys
  • Soil surveys
  • Electrical infrastructure and capacity
  • Topographical surveys
  • Water supply infrastructure
  • Sewers and drain infrastructure and capacity
  • Traffic and transport

Use of drones and 3-D mapping in surveys

Post-construction, the survey is used to assess the final position and adequacy of the work. The measurement process for the construction surveys once required the entire road to be closed to place the equipment. Now, special 3-D laser scanners allow this to happen from the roadside which not only eliminate the need for lane closures but also provide precise data and 3D maps that not only indicate the road and barriers, but also overhead wires and other features for the construction of highways. The use of GPS technology in the construction surveys offers the convenience of setting up of equipment and stations farther apart, as they no longer need to be in sight of one another. Unmanned aerial surveys (UASs), or simply speaking, drones, offer low-cost, fast speed and high manoeuvrability for collecting images in construction surveys.

Solid waste management solutions

Solid waste can consist of:

Construction waste: rubble, roofing, bricks, concrete, bars

Bulky waste: tree branches, tyres, etc.

Combustible waste: Wood, paper, cardboard, and packaging made from organic material

Non-combustible waste: This includes scrap metals, stones, tins, bottles, cans, etc.

Hazardous waste: Chemical plants and medical facilities are the major contributors of hazardous waste in the form of chemicals, syringes, infected bandages, etc.

Solid waste is generated from a variety of sources that include:

Residential: The waste from residences includes plastic, paper, glass, cardboard, metals, yard waste, and bulky household items, such as electronics, batteries, tyres, washing machines, refrigerators, old mattresses, and used oil.

Industrial: Industries in Australia are the biggest contributors of solid waste, including hazardous waste. The solid waste generated by industries includes medical waste, fabrication plant waste, power and chemical plant waste, ashes, packaging waste, special waste, and other hazardous waste.

Commercial: Businesses in Australia are among the major generators of solid waste. Solid waste generated by businesses includes food waste, metals, rubber, chemical, and radioactive waste, etc.

Agriculture: Vineyards, dairies, crop farms, and feedlots are among the major contributors of solid waste. Pesticide containers used in the agriculture industry are considered hazardous waste and require specialised waste disposal and treatment methods.

Council: Some of the solid waste generated by councils in Australia includes waste from parks and beaches, wastewater treatment plants, street sweeping, and landscaping.

Aussie Hydro-Vac Services provides one-stop solutions for solid waste disposal to residences, businesses, and industries in Australia. The company uses resource recovery facilities using automated and manual sorting processes to recover materials such as brick, tiles, glass, plastic, metal scraps, and concrete from the construction solid waste disposal process. The recovered materials may later be sent for road base and use in other conduction projects as backfilling, landscaping, etc.
