M.E.N. Precise Survey was founded in 1998 by Managing Director Marius Neethling, with a National Diploma in Mine Surveying, member of the Institute of Mine Surveyors of South Africa, and registered as a Geomatics Professional with the South African Geomatics
Council, (GPrcMS, 0124).

The foundation for success in the survey and civil industry lies in inaccuracy, with that we use state-of-the-art equipment, GPS, and Total Station equipment.

INTRODUCTION

Underground detection using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & Radio Frequency Location (RFL) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data will give you the ability to utilise existing underground services within a project. Underground surveys can also reduce the risk of damage by construction workers due to the unknown location of buried pipes. With minimal disruption our on-site surveyor can get you fast, reliable survey finding from almost any project setting.

Surveying with the very latest technology we can trace underground utilities in real-time, showing lines of manhole runs, electric, gas, cable TV and water pipes, all with depth, size, type, configuration as well as precise location within your project area. We have two types of equipment

RADIO FREQUENCY LOCATION – RD 8100

Metal structures are conductors and generate a magnetic field as the current flows through them.

This field can be used for underground detection; by sweeping the RFL receiver over the project area, a detailed digitised image is formed. This equipment can also emit a signal to locate metallic structures such as drainage routes and cables. The survey will provide you with a comprehensive digital representation of all the underground utilities that is clear, concise and highly accurate.

Services can be marked out on-site and accurately plotted onto drawings giving clients the confidence to proceed with a project without any hidden horrors. Our experienced and highly skilled surveyors use the state-of-the-art equipment with multi-directional scanning to trace underground services, ensuring the best results possible.

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR – RD 1100

A signal is generated by a transmitter and directed downwards through the substrate. As the signal reflects of subterranean structures and features such as pipes and cables, the difference in reflection is detected by a receiver and recorded as a digitised image. This non-invasive technique is excellent for detecting underground utilities, rebar, voids, pavement/wall thickness, tanks, clay and plastic pipes. The advantage being that these are visualised on-site giving real-time findings.
