Whilst City Surveys have been offering an extensive range of structural investigation services for quite some time, April 2010 has seen the official launch of our brand new 'Structures' division. Joining the team from Bureau Veritas with over 30 years experience in civil and structural engineering investigations is Neal Rodney.

Another senior Project Engineer will be joining the team within the next two months with both men being supported by a dedicated team of highly qualified, experienced technicians and a substantial, reliable supply chain.

After 4 highly successful years working for Bureau Veritas/ESG and over 30 years in the construction materials sector, Neal Rodney has moved on to pastures new at City Surveys.

Already heading up a number of substantial projects, we are delighted to announce that Neal is now heading up our Structures Division, delivering all the same services and even more of the quality you have come to expect from one of the UK's most experienced and respected construction material engineers.

Working for BAM Nuttall on our longest running project of the last 2 years, City Surveys has been providing track and structural monitoring services on railway underbridge DNS7 at Morton Grange in Doncaster for over twelve months. With services ranging from installing and monitoring wireless tilt sensors on the bridge legs to carrying out weekly track monitoring before, during and after construction, all work was done to Network Rail approved standards and progressed smoothly and efficiently from start to finish. We continue to do a great deal of work for BAM Nuttall throughout the UK on a wide range of engineering projects.

Our flagship wireless monitoring services and unique, online data portal are being employed to monitor for movement across a range of forces on this student accommodation project in London. Using wireless pressure, tilt and vibration sensors as well as an automated total station system, City Surveys will be measuring hydraulic pressure in props, vibration caused by piling and other associated activities and for movement in the surrounding sheet piles. Not including the total stations, this project employs 28 wireless sensors, all communicating via GPRS mobile broadband with our unique monitoring data portal. This system allows our clients – and their clients – to view all sensor data in real-time from any computer, anywhere in the world, providing a fully auditable historical data log and SMS text messages should any sensor exceed pre-programmed thresholds.

After successfully delivering topographic surveys, tree surveys and utilities mapping on a number of high profile projects across the UK, City Surveys are delighted to be working closely with NPS once more on a number of schools in Scunthorpe. Our ability to deliver such a wide range of services across all manner of projects has proved invaluable to the UK’s largest structural engineering firm.

Further cementing our already excellent relationship with Stobart Rail, City Surveys have been appointed to deliver at least three months of PTS engineering support on this sensitive bridging contract.

Our first project for this major national contractor, we are delighted to provide a minimum of six weeks of engineering support on this important railway project. We will, of course, endeavour to provide May Gurney with the excellent levels of service we regularly provide to all our other railway engineering clients.

Building on our already sterling reputation for providing track handback engineers at short notice, City Surveys are proud to announce yet more engineers qualified to Level 4, a development Stobart Rail have taken full advantage of with a number of weekend shifts in the Newcastle area.
