Road & Rail

Engineering surveying

The process involves precise data collection, mapping and analysis to support design, construction and safety compliance.

Site and Topographic Survey

Capture existing ground levels, track alignments, and surrounding infrastructure.

Identify natural and man-made features that may impact design and construction.

Use of 3D Laser Scanner and 1″ Total Stations for high accuracy data capture and setout.

Track Monitoring

Monitor track movement throughout excavations, usually for UAX services.

Monitoring reports are then provided to the principal to determine the track movement.

Construction Phase Surveying

Conduct all setouts and works as executed surveys throughout the construction phase.

Control Network Establishment

Set up a stable and accurate geodetic control network for ongoing construction works.

Use high-precision benchmarks for consistent reference throughout the project.

Accessibility and Public Safety Considerations

Ensure survey data supports compliance with accessibility regulations and gradients.

As-Built Survey & Verification

Verify that construction matches design specifications and update final records to reflect changes for future operational needs.

Proud Award Recepients

In 2022, TSS won two major awards for the Victoria Cross ISD metro station project: Winning Project for Infrastructure & Construction and the prestigious Sir Thomas Mitchell Award for Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information.

Projects

Meadlow Bath Station | NSW

Arenco, a long-term client, has engaged TSS for several years consistently entrusting us with multiple station upgrades which we completed concurrently over some years.

Project Type: Civil & Engineering

Details: The NSW Government’s Transport Access Program provides for the upgrade of several stations to facilitate safe and accessible rail infrastructure.

The Medlow Bath project is nearing completion and includes a new 105m long curved pedestrian bridge across the Great Western Highway, a new lift and upgraded stairs.

Total Solution: The survey tasks undertaken included preparing a detailed model of the project, engineering surveying of surrounding civil works and rail monitoring. The bridge was installed in 6 individual segments supported by our spatial surveying expertise.

Victoria Cross & Gadigal Metro Stations | Sydney

TSS was the Principal Surveyor for one of Australia’s most expansive transport undertakings. Despite the project’s extraordinary size and complexity, our team skillfully managed all survey requirements.

Project Type: Construction & Civil

Details: The Integrated Station Development project (ISD) project spans over 15,000m2 with multiple live work zones and each with unique demands.

The Pitt Street ISD includes a 250m-long underground station and above the station sit retail and commercial facilities.

Total Solution: Our registered surveyors, monitoring specialists and 3D scanning experts have skillfully managed daily survey requirements, encompassing everything from in-ground services to 3D scanning for final certifications and reporting.

Homebush Active Transport Network | NSW

The TfNSW Active Transport Strategy aims to promote walking and cycling by delivering better-connected spaces.

Project Type: Cadastral & Geospatial

Details: We were engaged by Conybeare Morrison to deliver topographical surveying services for a 4km section of the proposed cycle path in Homebush NSW.

Total Solution: Undertook all survey works including a full topographical survey for the proposed cycle path, survey control network, utilities investigation, boundary definition and preservation of survey infrastructure.

Blackheath Station | nSW

Arenco, a long-term client, engaged us to work on multiple station upgrades concurrently.

Project Type: Civil & Engineering

Details: One of a number of station projects that form part of the NSW Government’s Transport Access Program.

Total Solution: Survey tasks included the station upgrade package, lift shaft construction, surrounding civil works, and rail monitoring.

Chullora Train Depot | NSW

TSS was engaged to reinstate the parcel boundaries and scan the entirety of the building.

Project Type: Scanning

Details: With a building footprint of 30,000m2, this project required the full digitisation of part of the existing building complex of the train depot.

Total Solution: Our scanning team created a Revit Model utilising cutting-edge technology to scan the building internally and externally. A 3D model of external features was also provided to facilitate design for future external works in the vicinity.
