Drainage Mapping For Office Extension

Exploring the Unknown: How We Helped a Client Unravel Their Drainage Mysteries

In the world of property development and maintenance, understanding the intricacies of a building’s infrastructure is crucial. This was precisely the case with one of our recent clients, who faced a common yet complex challenge: extending their office building without detailed knowledge of the existing drainage network. Find out how our team expertly navigated this scenario, ensuring both the integrity of the drainage system and the success of the client’s expansion project.

The Challenge: A Drainage Dilemma

Our client’s predicament was twofold. First, they were unsure about the exact route of their office building’s drainage network. Second, they questioned the network’s condition, which is pivotal when planning an extension. Without this vital information, proceeding with construction could lead to costly and time-consuming errors.

Our Approach: Precision and Expertise

To tackle this, our team embarked on a comprehensive solution. Here’s how we approached the task:

1. Full Site Drainage Clean: We began with a thorough cleaning of the entire drainage system. This not only prepared the network for further inspection but also improved its overall functioning, an immediate benefit for our client.
2. Coded Drainage Report: Our specialists conducted a detailed examination of the drainage network, assessing its condition and integrity. This involved advanced techniques to identify any underlying issues that could impede the building extension plans.
3. GPS and Drainage Mapping: Perhaps the most crucial step was mapping the drainage layout. Utilising GPS technology, we accurately traced the entire network. This precise mapping was vital for the planned construction work and future maintenance.
4. DXF/CAD Conversion: The GPS data was then converted into DXF/CAD formats, providing our client with a clear, detailed, and usable drainage map. This step transformed raw data into a practical tool for architects and engineers involved in the extension project.

Round-the-Clock Availability

Understanding the dynamic nature of construction and property maintenance, we emphasise our commitment to being available 365 days a year, 24/7. Our clients can rest assured that expert assistance is just a call away, whenever they need it.
