Pilbrow Surveying Limited have been involved in completing monthly surveys of our aggregate stockpiles for the last 9 years. Rodney and his team work quickly, in an operating quarry environment, to safely measure up to 250,000 tonnes of processed concrete and roading aggregates. Haste is essential to get the closest approximation of our end of month inventory position. Pilbrow Surveying have been strong performers in turning around the information I require to complete my end of month accounting.

Pilbrow Surveying have also been regularly engaged to provide face surveys of our Basalt quarry at periodic intervals to gauge remaining reserves, they survey our overburden placement area to help us calculate capacity and they mark out boundaries for future stripping work. Locating the position of pre quarry boreholes allows us to accurately plan the extraction from a very tight pit.

Data is provided in a number of formats to best suit our applications. Our needs are clearly understood with Rodney and his team delivering month after month like clockwork.

Hi Rodney

 

        I am only too pleased to send this testimonial on your business.

 

   As an earthmoving contractor there are two things that we must get right, one is accuracy, making sure that what ever an engineer has designed on paper we can create on the ground, and two to have an accurate measure on what materials we have moved so that we can be paid for it. The surveyor that I trust for setting out and volume measures is Pilbrow surveying.

  I have known and worked alongside Rodney for over 15 years and will keep on using him as our surveyor because his knowledge and understanding of the work that we do which is subdivisions, roading, sportsfields etc. He has always provided a prompt response to us requiring him onsite and his vast knowledge of setting out projects from the sometimes fairly vague information that is given to us is a huge bonus.  He will always set out pegs in the most practical positions so we have all the information we need to develop the land we are working on.  If I require volumes for monthly claims he is always quick to return the survey as he understands the time frames that we work under.

             Managing Director for Corbett Contractors

Testimonial by Paul Roberts, Director, Base Civil


Why did you choose us to do this work for you?
I know you and I know you do a good job. 
Peace of mind is important for survey. 
I did use a local guy here once to setout centerline and do lift stakes cause he was cheap (over a year ago). Things didn’t line up and I had to re-level the whole site. Didn’t notice his errors until after the excavation so used $4,000 additional metal. Old story – you often get what you pay for.
