Purpose of survey

A chambers defect and geometric survey shall be carried out to determine the inventory, condition, detailed defects and internal geometry of chambers, including the use of a laser scanner with inbuilt panoramic still camera(s) and a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera

What is a Chamber Defect and geometric survey by laser scanner?

• a field survey carried out where full and detailed knowledge of the condition and defects of chambers is needed;
• a field survey carried out where continuous measurement of the internal geometry of the chamber is required;

Survey data round tripping

As with all NH DDMS surveys, they are driven by consistently delivering to the high standards set out in CS551. Survey data round tripping is a vital function to achieving the high data quality outcome necessary to build a catalogue of ‘reliable, intelligent data’.

All of our surveys are compliant to National Highways documents CS551 and CD535.
