Mason – Digital Mapping

On the 12th March 2009, John Armitt of the Olympic Delivery Authority and Ann McKechin MP for Glasgow North, visited the Head office of Mason Land Surveys Ltd.
The visit coincided with the Scottish Enterprise event to encourage the 600 attending Scottish businesses to bid for contracts that will be let by the ODA. Mason was visited along with two further Scottish based companies prior to this event, as we are one of 13 Scottish organisations currently working on the London 2012 Olympic project for the ODA.

Mason’s expanding SubSurface division is providing non-intrusive detection of hidden utilities and assets to businesses and the Private and Public sectors throughout the UK.
Using fully mobile Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) alone or in conjunction with Radio Detection methods giving the best possible result as to what lies beneath the ground, without having to excavate trial pits or drill of core samples.
The GPR system we use is fully portable and therefore can be used internally, within buildings and structures, especially useful for redevelopment projects and old properties.

Our SubSurface teams undertake activities such as;
• Identifying buried obstructions and voids
• locating buried steelwork
• locating buried wall foundations
• locating pipes, cables, sewer routes (plastic included) Water channel siltation
Mason SubSurface provide nationwide coverage, for further information please contact us by email at subsurface@mason.co.uk.

The MMS-X 640 is a cost effective dynamic measuring system for acquiring high quality and accurate 3D geospatial data. The system and service are available via Mason in the UK, which is a combination of high performing hardware and software enabling production of data that may be used for a wide variety of uses.
