It has been a busy few months at Terrain Surveys with several commissions for topographical surveys and measured building surveys. As a result of our workload we have continued to expand our survey team by employing a new staff member.
In June we were commissioned to carry out a measured survey of a fascinating Victorian fort located near Gosport, Hampshire. Overlooking the Solent, Fort Gilkicker is a Grade II listed building and scheduled ancient monument with a proposed development to convert to luxury apartments. With the aid of a Leica HD laser scanner the fort was scanned internally and externally to produce detailed floor plans, elevations and sections, as well as a topographical survey of the site.
We welcome the latest member of out survey team, Lewis Coleman, who joined us in June as a Survey Assistant.
Congratulations go to Alec Thomas who recently completed his BSc (Hons) Surveying and Mapping Sciences at the University of East London. Alec is the latest of our land surveyors that the company has provided day release education for professional dvelopment.
Finally, Director, Colin Wheeldon, successfully completed the Oxfam Trailwalker Challenge in July. Colin along with three other team members walked the South Downs Way between Petersfield and Brighton, a distance 62 miles. The team completed the walk in 27 hours and raised over £3,000 for Oxfam and The Gurkha Welfare Trust.
