Site Surveys FAQs
Why do I need a site survey before a lifting project?
A site survey ensures that the location is suitable and safe for the lifting operation. It allows us to assess ground conditions, access points, and other factors that could affect the success of the lift. Without a site survey, there’s a higher risk of encountering issues that could delay or disrupt the project.
Do you use drone technology for all surveys?
We use drone technology for sites that require a more detailed view, especially for areas that are difficult to access or assess from the ground. This helps provide a more accurate assessment and allows us to gather high-quality visuals for reporting.
What is included in a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS)?
A risk assessment identifies any potential hazards associated with the lifting operation and provides strategies to mitigate those risks. A method statement (RAMS) outlines the steps involved in the operation, detailing how the lift will be carried out safely and efficiently.
How long does a site survey take?
The time required for a site survey depends on the complexity and size of the project. Typically, a survey can be completed within a few hours, with a full report and recommendations provided shortly after.
Do you provide site surveys across the UK?
Yes, we provide site surveys nationwide, and our team is available 24/7 to accommodate your project’s schedule. We can travel to any location in the UK to assess the site and prepare for the lifting operation.
