Roads and plots on Northampton's growth sites
Northampton has been growing outwards for years, with large neighbourhoods such as Upton and Buckton Fields and a string of urban extensions around the town. Each brings kilometres of new estate road and long runs of plots, most built to adoption standards that leave little room for error on the bituminous layers.
A sub-base scan before surfacing is the cheapest point in the job to catch a high or low area. Add a second scan after the binder and you have a full tarmac depth survey for the adoption engineer, with no cores needed to find where the thin spots are.
For homeowners, designers and builders
From Victorian terraces in the Boot and Shoe Quarter to 1970s homes in the eastern district, much of Northampton's housing is being extended, opened up or re-kitchened. A 3D measured survey gives your architect or kitchen designer exact existing drawings. For gardens on Northampton's slopes, a garden scan gets the levels right before anyone digs.
Topographical, as-built and floor surveys
Northampton's extensions and infill plots often start with a topographical survey for the architect. Contractors finishing phases on the town's growth sites use as-built surveys to record roads, covers and plots at handover. For the distribution and industrial units around Northampton and Daventry, a floor flatness survey checks slabs against their specified class before fit-out.

No. Northampton is within our standard 50-mile travel radius from Corby.
