Kew Gardens

CTS were contracted in at Kew Gardens to survey to entire extents of their site. The survey was to trace all existing water utilities and supply the client with an updated water map of the gardens.

Working within this live environment, the CTS staff were at one with the public, to keep them safe we used a trolley provided by Kew to transport our equipment over their vast site. Also, CTS supplied their surveyors with low profile Personal Protective Equipment to blend in with the Gardens.

We also provided a full plant enquiry and stat pack to help the Kew management team understand the full extent of the different pipes and cables that are under the ground in their site.

Our surveyors worked on site, connecting to existing points, such as fountains, taps, water valves etc and using our SPX Radio detection RD8000 PXL and X-10 Transmitter they traced the lines of the metal water mains.

We collected the location of the water, using our S7 Robotic Station, all to OS nation Grid.

·        519 water assets were found and collected.

·        12099 feature points with X Y & Z were collected.

·        In excess of 7 kilometers of pipework was located.

This data was taken back to the office for the data to be collated into one full map, displaying the location and depths of the water mains at Kew Gardens.
