Our Surveying Equipment

At Survey2Plan, precision is built into everything we do. That’s why we invest in industry-leading equipment and software, ensuring every survey delivers data you can rely on for design, planning, and construction. From high-definition 3D laser scanning to underground utility detection, our tools help reduce risk, cut delays, and provide decision-grade outputs.

Equipment & Software We Use

3D Laser Scanners

Leica RTC360

Captures millions of points per second, producing detailed point clouds. This allows us to deliver precise measured building surveys, heritage records, and Scan to BIM models.

Total Stations & GPS

Leica robotic total stations, Leica GPS Kit, Spectra Precision Ranger 5

These instruments allow us to quickly and accurately measure sites of all sizes. They’re ideal for topographic surveys, boundary checks, and level grids, ensuring your designs are based on dependable data.

Utility Detection Equipment

Radiodetection RD8200, Mala Core (Radar), Vivax V6 CCTV Camera

These advanced tools allow us to accurately locate underground utilities, map subsurface features, and visually inspect drainage and pipelines. By combining electromagnetic detection, ground penetrating radar, and CCTV inspection, we minimise risks, prevent costly errors, and ensure projects move forward safely and efficiently.

Software & Processing

AutoCAD – for professional CAD drawings.
Revit – for coordinated BIM models.
N4CE & Leica Cyclone – for processing survey and point cloud data.
Promap – access to Ordnance Survey digital mapping.

This software ensures we can turn captured data into clear, usable outputs that fit directly into your design or construction workflow.

Why Our Equipment Matters

Accuracy you can rely on – every instrument is calibrated and checked to industry standards.
Faster results – advanced tools mean less time on site and quicker delivery.
Lower risk – underground services are identified before excavation.
Practical outputs – CAD drawings, BIM models, and point clouds aligned to your specifications.

“I found the team to be very knowledgeable. They addressed some of my concerns with 3D surveys and give me the information I was lacking. I would definitely recommend S2P to anyone wanting a point cloud surveys. Thank you "

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell or hire equipment?

No, this page shows the equipment we use for in-house surveys to deliver projects.

How do you guarantee accuracy?

Through control networks, registration QA, and instrument calibration. Reports are always supplied with deliverables.

What formats do you deliver?

Point clouds (E57/RCP), CAD (DWG/DXF), Revit models, with full QA documentation.

Can you work to our grid and BIM LOD?

Yes, we align deliverables to your project grid and agreed BIM LOD/LOR.

Can you combine methods on one project?

Yes. For example, scanners for interiors + UAVs for extents + GPR for utilities.
