But instead of Newquay, it’s Bristol Airport we’re talking about, where plans for expansion are gathering pace, meaning plenty of work for us. We previously carried out topographical surveys on behalf of the main contractor, Capita Symonds, but last week it was the job of the Seeka team to carry out extensive detection and mapping of the buried utility services associated with the site.
It’s not every day the chaps work in an environment like this and it’s a good thing we already have experience of airport surveying – the nature of the site means that night work is unavoidable and dodging jumbos is part and parcel of what the boys have to do. Still, it’s a welcome change from normal, day-to-day utility surveying and we look forward to more time spent at Bristol Airport where needed.
