Topographic Survey | Kelbrook
Introduction
Location: Kelbrook, Lancashire
Client: Confidential (Repeat Client)
Sector: Rural Development / Planning
Duration: 2 days
Equipment Used: Leica GNSS & Total Station
Project Overview
Brookes Geospatial was commissioned to carry out a topographic survey in Kelbrook, Lancashire, for one of our valued returning clients. The scope involved mapping approximately 200 metres of rural roadway, followed by a large open field and associated stable buildings.
The data will be used to support potential development, including the assessment of visibility splays, access design, and general planning feasibility.
Scope of Work
Surveyed rural carriageway and verges
Full capture of field boundaries, elevations, and existing stable structures
Data collected using a combination of:
Leica GNSS for open-space efficiency
Total Station for tighter control around built features
Delivered in 2D CAD format for immediate use by the design team
Site Experience
This job wasn’t just productive — it was a pleasure. With open countryside, clear lines of sight, and located just two miles from our base, it was a refreshing change of pace for the team. Working locally always adds a bit of pride to the project.
Outcome
The completed topographic survey gives the client a detailed, accurate base for planning and design. With clear data on road levels, boundaries, and structures, the site is now ready for further feasibility work, including visibility analysis and access design.
