GPS Survey
We can provide GPS even where a mobile signal is unavailable
We carry out both stand alone GPS surveys as well as using our GPS to compliment our Total Station work and vice versa. GPS has a particular advantage to provide centimetre accuracy over a large area or where the line of sight is an issue.
Our GPS Surveys
GPS is part of our everyday work here at Cheshire Surveys either as a tool in itself or for use alongside the Total Station in establishing survey control to OS grid and level. Our GPS work is carried out to Network RTK Best Practice.
The GPS kit lends itself well to surveying large open spaces (such as fields), check surveys of boundaries and level/volumetric surveys.
Our GPS kit is combined with Leica SmartNet. This provides repeatable centimetre accuracy. SmartNet uses the mobile phone network to provide 24/7 GNSS Network RTK correction data. So, wherever we have mobile phone connection we can provide real time OS co-ordinate and level.
We can also provide accurate GPS solutions where a mobile connection is not available using our GPS base stations and radios that have a two mile radius. This can then be post processed and linked to OS for position and level. Our base units can also be used to provide high accuracy OS position by setting up the base station for several hours occupation per set up. This is then post processed and detailed reports of the results can be provided.
