Miles Water Surveying are a branch of Miles Water Engineering. We have been undertaking surveys for over 40 years for a wide range of clients across the UK.
Our survey work includes: Private Gardens, Country Estates, Agricultural Fields, Ponds and Lakes ahead of desilting and maintenance, Wetlands, Riverbanks and As-Built schemes. These surveys fall into four main categories.
- Topographic Surveys: These describe existing site levels and features.

- Earthworks / Volume Surveys: These are used to identify the volumes of material available in spoil heaps
- As-Built Surveys: These are used in describe the results of a completed project.
The surveyed features include:
- Ground levels
- Permanent and temporary buildings/structures.
- Road path, track features.
- Visible boundary features: including walls, fences, hedges, gates.
- Street furniture: bollards, lamp posts, playground equipment.
