Boundary Surveys

At InterRegional Surveys Ltd., boundary surveys account for about 40% of our workload. We have team members with over 15

years experience in the conduct of these types of surveys, so it is quite likely that we have the technical knowledge and

experience to handle the most complex of Boundary Surveys. The types of boundary surveys we undertake include:

• General Boundary Surveys

• Fixed Boundary Surveys

• Encroachments

• Boundary Surveys to help resolve disputes

• Boundary Surveys to help resolve Land Ownership/Occupation issues

We conduct all boundary surveys with the utmost impartiality and integrity, ensuring that we arrive at the correct outcome,

regardless who has employed us. Our surveys are executed using high spec Leica Total Stations, GPS and Digital Levels, so as to

ensure that we meet the specifications required of us. We employ electronic data recording, electronic data transfer and CAD

(Computer Aided Drafting), to help minimise both field observation and processing time, and reduce human errors.

Hydrographic Surveys

A hydrographic survey is the process by which the profile of any surface covered with water is determined. Hydrographic

surveys are required for a wide range of marine development projects, including:

• Monitoring and mitigating the effects of coastal erosion

• Erection of offshore structures

• Monitoring of Harbour, dam and river siltation levels

• Erection of berthing facilities

• Land reclamation

InterRegional Surveys Ltd. has staff with over 15 years experience in undertaking Hydrographic Surveys. Our team is qualified in

Hydrographic Surveying, so no project is beyond our scope.

Our instrumentation ranges from a simple Total Station and prism setup, for shallow river and calm water surveys, to a boat with

onboard GPS and echo sounder, for offshore work.

Setting Out

Every construction project, whether it is a road, commercial building, or residential building, needs to be set out, before

construction begins. InterRegional Surveys Ltd. has a very proud and impeccable reputation in setting out, with experience

ranging from small commercial buildings to major construction projects that include roads and building complexes. We liaise with

engineers, contractors and architects, and use their drawings to set out to any specification required of us.

We guarantee the very highest of accuracies for all our work. To achieve that with consistency, we only use high spec Leica

Total Stations and Digital Levels, which all record data electronically, therefore reducing time spent in the field, while at the same

time reducing human error significantly.

Electronic data recording also helps to significantly reduce time taken for computations and results. Setting out reports can be

provided to the client within hours, allowing the engineers and contractors to commence construction soon after setting out is

complete, and with the confidence of knowing that the specifications have been met.

Subdivisions / Partitions

A subdivision is the process by which a portion of land is divided into smaller portions, usually for sale. A Partition involves the

same process, except that it is apportioned among family members, not sold. Whereas it is very easy to draw lines to subdivide a

portion of land, it is more difficult to do so, while at the same time adhering to the regulations and standards that govern land

development.

Attention must be paid to the ratios of lengths by widths of the newly created portions, and the provision of services like roads,

electricity, water and sewage. Looking at the bigger picture, one must determine how the subdivision will impact on services in the

area, like education and health care.

The above facts stress on the need for Subdivisions/Partitions to be undertaken by a professional, not just someone who can draw

lines to subdivide a portion of land. At InterRegional Surveys Ltd., most of our workload is Subdivision surveys, so we are well

placed to see your project from concept to completion.

We liaise with certified engineers who provide detailed drawings for services like roads, drains, sewage, water and electricity, to

ensure that your subdivision will be approved without delay. We undertake the transformation of the one portion of land, by

setting out your roads and drains, and then carrying out the subdivision survey.

We use high spec Leica Total Stations and Digital Levels for all our work. These instruments allow us to record data electronically,

thus reducing fieldwork time, and at the same time reducing human errors. Our observations are also processed electronically,

therefore reducing calculation times, giving you a finished digital plan in a much shorter time than other methods.

Topographical / Detail Surveys

Topographical / Detail Surveys are a very important part of any development project. These surveys provide 3-dimentional data to

designers, engineers and architects, so that the project can be designed for efficient use of the space available, while at the

same time keeping costs to a minimum. We conduct topographical / detail Surveys for

• Road Construction and maintenance

• Bridge Construction and maintenance

• Private Dwelling Construction

• Commercial Buildings Construction and maintenance

• Small and Large Scale developments

• Airport Runway and Taxiway Construction and maintenance

• 3-D Monitoring and Precise Leveling

With the suite of instruments we use from Leica, we can meet any specifications required of us. All our data is recorded and

transferred electronically, and processed via CAD (Computer Aided Drafting), so as to provide a field to finished plan ratio of 5 : 1

(5 days of fieldwork is processed in 1 day). Our surveyors have a wealth of experience in conducting topographical / detail

surveys, from small house plots to tens of acres of bushed lands, so no job is too big to handle.
