Surveying and investigations 

Surveying and investigating our surroundings provides data which is essential to decision-making and analyses of the implications of projected changes.
COWI undertakes data capture in respect of the physical environment, properties of materials and status & process monitoring as standard in any project. Our own concrete laboratory and geolaboratory, reinforced by good contacts with external testing laboratories and by our in house expertise ensure the highest standards of professional testing.


Equipment

Our surveying and field equipment includes a range of specialist vehicles equipped for drilling, sampling and land measurement equipment; and airborne and land based digital measurement instruments. Our resources also include equipment and instruments for gauging pressure and humidity, logging processes, measuring flow, gauging indoor climate, taking precision measurements of geometric factors to name but a few.

With the wealth of resources at our disposal, we at COWI have the breadth of capability for:

  • Drilling
  • Remote sensing
  • Materials testing
  • Functional testing
  • Surveying and land registration
  • Geotechnical investigations
  • Underground acoustic measurements
  • Laboratory testing
  • Environmental research
  • Chemical and biological tests
  • Survey of condition
  • Process monitoring

Presentation of results

Measurements and investigations can be presented analytically in the form of reports giving figures and statistics, in graphic form by means of maps and GIS solutions or in the from of digital databases. Our quality control includes procedures for catering for large quantities of data.
