他们为客户提供最准确的服务的方式是雇用一支由10名训练有素的测量师和CAD专业人士组成的团队，再加上对最新尖端技术的投资。他们通过土木工程测量师（ICE）进行了正在进行的培训计划，同时维护内部质量管理系统，使其符合ISO9001的资格。现场测量服务有限公司覆盖了整个英国，从报价到制作图纸的快速周转 - 有时甚至在同一天和现场，如果需要。

Topographical surveys at the coastal zone of Fairhaven and Church Scar

The surveying company have recently been working on the Fairhaven and Church Scar Sea Defence Project, otherwise known as Granny’s Bay, which is part of a £22m coastal protection project along the Fylde Coast. The Sea Defence redevelopment is being carried out to replace the failing and existing coastal concrete defences originally built in the 1890s. The completion of the new concrete defences will provide a new lease of life to the promenade and help protect the area from coastal erosion while benefitting over 2,600 properties in the region. Councillor Thomas Threlfall has described the completion of the project as making the seaside resort fit for the next century; whilst Councillor Roger Small, who is chairman of the Operational Management Committee, has described the project as the final piece of the jigsaw to the new foreshore.

Site Communding Services Ltd自一开始就参与了该项目，最初对该站点进行了地形调查，并继续通过该计划进行计算和可视化，并随着其进行的进行计算和可视化。创始人兼公司总监说，“我觉得我们被授予这项工作的原因归结为悠久的调查经验，多年的辛勤工作以及以前的客户的扎实建议。从我的角度来看，参与将有利于沿海环境的冒险活动的机会太令人兴奋，无法传播。”

The topographical survey was carried out using theLeica Viva GS16 Smart Antenna,Leica Viva TS16 total station并通过使用Leica CS20现场控制器. The data obtained supported the project’s design and was used as a control network for all the setting out on-site and machine control. The data was also used for volume calculations, helping minimise overall project costs.
