Topographic Survey, Banbury, Oxford
Introduction
Client: Classified
Location: Banbury, Oxford
Project Scope: Topographic Survey, Asbuilt Information
At Brookes Geospatial LTD, we pride ourselves on delivering detailed and reliable topographic surveys for infrastructure projects. Recently, we were commissioned to conduct a topographic survey in Banbury, Oxford, as part of a Section 278 (s278) agreement. This survey plays a vital role in supporting a new development and meeting the requirements set by Oxford County Council.
What is an s278 Agreement?
A Section 278 (s278) agreement is a legal arrangement that allows developers to make changes or improvements to public highways. To ensure compliance and accuracy, Our client required a comprehensive topographic survey of the development area.
Our task was to map the site thoroughly, capturing all new features and utility data, to provide the council with the information needed to proceed with the project.
The Scope of the Banbury Survey
This survey involved:
Mapping all new features on the site, including changes to infrastructure and land boundaries.
Establishing a primary control network for future use.
Recording utility information, such as utility covers and identification numbers, to aid in future planning and construction.
Providing highly accurate elevation data and detailed CAD outputs for seamless integration into the council’s design and review process.
Using our advanced laser scanning technology, including the Leica TS16, we ensured every detail was captured with precision.
Overcoming Challenges
The survey area included busy sections of public highway, which required meticulous planning to minimise disruptions. Our team ensured safety and efficiency by scheduling work at off-peak hours.
