Elevate Your Projects With Engineering Surveys in the Gold Coast and Surrounding Areas
Engineering Surveying
Michel Group Services Pty Ltd invites you to elevate your construction projects with our engineering surveying expertise. With over 40 years of experience, we've been the cornerstone of precision for the Gold Coast, Brisbane, South-East Queensland, and Northern NSW.
Our team, boasting over four decades of experience, specialises in residential houses, multi-unit developments, and commercial or retail buildings. From precise building set-outs to civil earthworks set-outs, we ensure that every aspect of your construction project aligns with approved plans and meets the highest standards.
Building Set-Out
Residential houses, multi-unit developments, and commercial or retail buildings are some of the more common structures for which we provide surveys. All building set-out surveys are pre-calculated and checked against all the approved plans prior to visiting the site.
Civil Earthworks Set-Out
To assist with the civil construction of residential or commercial developments, railways, roads, bridges and other structures, we take the detailed civil design files and prepare these files for set-out on site either with GPS or Total Station from which the site contractor can construct your project.
Detail and Level Surveys
Also referred to as a topographic survey, this type of survey allows the land to be mapped with overlaid contours that reflect the shape of the terrain at the time of the survey. Levels are taken to the Australian Height Datum (AHD).
Contour Surveys
Architects and building designers rely on our contour surveys to grasp ground topography essential for detailed building designs. This survey type provides a comprehensive understanding of the subject property's topography, aiding in meticulous design considerations.
Volume Surveys
Volume surveys are conducted to identify the stockpile volumes or the amount of cut or fill required for site earthworks. Calculations can be done for large stockpiles or landfill projects, as well as for major earthworks for construction projects.
As-Constructed Data
We provide a wide range of as-constructed data capture services to the development industry, such as the recent introduction of ADAC XML file preparation for various local councils. Surveyors, in general, are becoming increasingly better equipped with the knowledge and skills to address the changing needs of our developing world.
Flood Study Surveys
Local authorities require all development of land to be above the 1 in 100-year flood level. To determine this level, the topography of the land must be surveyed and used with the volume of the catchment to determine the Q100 level relative to the Australian Height Datum (AHD). These surveys also allow the flood storage capacity volume to be calculated.
Terrestrial Scanning
Terrestrial scanning has now become a vital tool in the ever-changing world of spatial data capture; as long as we can see it, we can terrestrially scan the surface or structure you require. Terrestrial scanning is extremely helpful when trying to survey hard-to-access areas or high pedestrian areas such as external and internal buildings, bridges, highways and heavy vehicle areas.
Light Rail and Heavy Rail Surveys
As principal surveyors for the recently completed Gold Coast Light Rail Project (Stage 1), we were responsible for civil set-out works, including bridges, viaducts, underground services and light rail infrastructure, cadastral surveys, embedded rail set-out and capture of asset as-constructed data.
