A reliable foundation for design and construction
The Razvitiye-Lipetsk company performs the full range of engineering surveys for the preparation of design documentation and the construction of capital facilities.
Engineering surveys are a mandatory stage of design, stipulated by Article 47 of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation. Their purpose is to study the natural and man-made conditions of the territory, obtain reliable source data, and form the engineering basis for design decisions.
We work in accordance with SP 47.13330.2016, performing field, laboratory, and office studies under an engineering survey program developed on the basis of the technical assignment.
Why it pays to order the full survey package from a single contractor
A common project problem arises when different types of surveys are performed by different organizations. This leads to data inconsistencies, extended timelines, and the need for constant oversight by the client.
A comprehensive approach and a general contractor solve this problem.
The Razvitiye-Lipetsk company acts as a single general contractor that:
- develops a unified survey program;
- coordinates the work of all specialists;
- is responsible for the consistency of results;
- ensures quality control at all stages;
- delivers to the client a complete set of source data for design.
For organizations that have won a design or construction tender, this means:
- single-point responsibility for the result;
- shorter timelines for preparing design documentation;
- reduced organizational risks.
Main types of engineering surveys
The main types are performed for virtually all capital construction facilities and form the core source data for design.
Engineering and geodetic surveys. These provide accurate data on the terrain, local conditions, and the location of utility networks. They include establishing a geodetic control network, topographic surveying, surveying of underground networks, and preparation of topographic plans and digital terrain models.
Engineering and geological surveys. These assess soil properties and construction conditions. They include drilling operations, sounding, laboratory testing of soils and groundwater, hydrogeological analysis, and determination of the bearing capacity of the foundation base.
Engineering and environmental surveys. These determine the environmental condition of the territory and the potential impact of construction on the environment. They involve studies of soils, groundwater, and ambient air, analysis of man-made pollution, and preparation of environmental recommendations.
Engineering, hydrological, and meteorological surveys. These study the climatic and hydrological conditions of the territory. They include analysis of water bodies, forecasting of floods and waterlogging, and assessment of wind and climatic loads on the facility.
Special types of engineering surveys
In cases of complex engineering and geological conditions, facility reconstruction, or specific project requirements, additional studies are performed.
These include:
- geotechnical investigations and soil deformation calculations;
- inspection of foundation bases and building structures;
- exploration of groundwater and construction materials;
- monitoring of man-made and environmental processes;
- special geophysical investigations.
How engineering surveys are performed
The works are carried out in stages and include three key phases.
Preparatory stage: analysis of source data, development of the engineering survey program, preparation of the technical assignment, and work planning.
Field investigations: geodetic surveying, borehole drilling, sampling of soils and water, environmental studies, and observation of the natural conditions of the territory.
Office data processing: laboratory testing, processing of results, development of engineering models, preparation of technical reports, and transfer of data to designers.
The results of engineering surveys are documented as technical reports, which form part of the design documentation and are used for passing the state expert review.
Deliverables for the client
The client receives a complete set of source data for design:
- technical reports on all types of engineering surveys;
- up-to-date topographic plans;
- data on soils and hydrogeology;
- environmental, hydrological, and meteorological characteristics of the territory;
- digital models and engineering recommendations.
All materials are prepared in accordance with regulatory requirements and are ready for delivery to designers and submission for state expert review.
