Join the Revolution! A Problem-Solving Guide to River Surveys.

The time has come for surveyors to stand up and be counted by taking the lead on survey specifications. Technology and innovation are fast moving with survey possibilities developing constantly. Surveyors are geospatial experts and are best placed to drive how their services are procured to maximise value for each project in favour of their clients.

At Storm Geomatics we invest time, even before a project has been successfully awarded, so that our client’s objectives are fully understood. We ask questions to provide the maximum value for each survey. “Off the shelf” survey specifications should be a thing of the past, because engineers who rely on these will not receive the best value for money.

Asking key questions can provide surveyors with a far greater understanding of what the long-term aim of the project is and what the data will be used for.

1.?? What will the geospatial data be used for?

2. What tolerances are required from the survey?

3.??? Which software do you want the data to integrate with?

4.??? What attributes attached to the geospatial data will provide efficiencies for your project?

5.??? What density of data is needed?

6. Does the survey have a budget?

7.??? What other disciplines could also use the survey data?

Storm Geomatics create premium long-term and short-term value by understanding the actual needs of their client rather than being told what they usually receive from a survey and then asked to provide the same again.? Geospatial surveyors are experts in the collection of data, often their client doesn’t know what level of data they want or what options are available to them. Each project has an optimum “fit” and it is only through knowledgeable conversation from both parties that the specification and scope can be matched.

The problems of river survey procurement with solutions from Storm Geomatics:

1. Problem: Restricted by basic survey specifications. Engineers or Project Managers having to interpret data from basic minimum data delivery due to surveyors not consulting with client at point of procurement.

Solution: Storm Geomatics carries out due diligence at the front end of every project (before project award). This provides more value, sometimes for less cost. These conversations reduce project delays, avoid costly extensions and eliminate safety concerns. In this case study, in an urban setting, Storm Geomatics show that by using key, early conversations they were able to maximise high quality data where other surveyors had failed.
