Marks & Spencer.
Colne.

From the original topographical survey through to construction setting out — supporting the proposed Marks & Spencer Foodhall in Colne as the project moves from design into delivery.

The project

Surveyed for design.
Back for construction.

Brookes Geospatial was initially appointed to undertake the topographical survey for the proposed Marks & Spencer Foodhall development in Colne.

The survey established the existing site geometry and levels required to support the design and planning process, creating a detailed base of information for the wider project team.

As the development moves into its construction phase, Barnfield Construction has appointed Brookes Geospatial again to provide setting-out support — taking our involvement from the original site survey through into delivery on the ground.

Colne — original topographical survey overview

The role

One survey partner.
Two project stages.

The value of the appointment extends beyond the original topographical survey.

The initial survey provided the existing-site information needed during design. Returning for the construction phase means the same surveying team can now support the translation of design information back onto the site through accurate setting out.

That continuity gives Brookes Geospatial a clear understanding of the site and allows us to support Barnfield Construction as the development progresses.

Project journey

From existing ground to construction control.

Swipe through the workflow

01

Existing-site survey

A detailed topographical survey captured the existing site geometry, features and levels required by the project team.

02

Survey control

Survey information was coordinated to a reliable control framework to provide a consistent spatial base for the project.

03

Design information

The completed survey provided an accurate existing-site dataset to support design development and coordination.

04

Construction appointment

Barnfield Construction appointed Brookes Geospatial again as the scheme progressed from the survey and design stage into construction.

05

Setting out

Construction setting-out support will transfer coordinated design information accurately onto the live development site.

06

Ongoing support

This page will develop alongside the project, documenting setting-out activity and key construction milestones as work progresses.

The next phase

Back on site.
Building from our own survey.

The original topographical survey supported the project at its early stage. Brookes Geospatial will now continue that involvement through construction setting out for Barnfield Construction.

The repeat appointment demonstrates continuity across the development: the team that captured the existing site will also help position the new works as construction progresses.

This is a live project. Construction photographs, setting-out activities and completed milestones will be added as the development moves forward.
