Surveying Services

The Surveying Services at AFARA is a vital component relied upon by engineering projects to ensure accuracy and quality throughout all stages of planning and execution. We utilize the latest technologies and advanced equipment to provide precise surveying data that supports sound engineering decision-making, contributing to project success from initial stages to final delivery.

Our Surveying Services:

1. Geotechnical Investigation

  • Conducting comprehensive studies of soil properties and geological layers.
  • Analyzing soil bearing capacity and selecting the most suitable foundation types.
  • Assessing geological risks such as landslides or water seepage.
  • Providing certified technical reports to support structural designs.

2. Topographic Survey

  • Producing accurate topographic surveys of site features (natural and man-made).
  • Producing high-precision 3D topographic maps.
  • Determining ground levels and vertical and horizontal alignments.
  • Supporting urban planning processes and infrastructure design.

3. GPR Survey

  • Detecting buried utilities (pipes, cables, tanks) without excavation.
  • Identifying cracks and voids beneath existing structures.
  • Assessing concrete thickness and rebar locations.
  • Reducing risks during excavation and demolition operations.

4. 3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning is an advanced technology that uses laser beams to create a highly accurate digital model (with millimeter precision) of objects, structures, or engineering sites. It is based on the principle of measuring distances using laser pulses and their reflections, which are then converted into a Point Cloud that is processed to create a three dimensional model.

  • Documenting the actual condition of buildings and sites with millimeter accuracy.
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) for design and analysis.
  • Monitoring structural changes during implementation stages.
  • Reducing errors and improving coordination between design and reality.

5. Cathodic Protection

Cathodic protection is an advanced technique used to protect buried or submerged metal structures from chemical corrosion (rust). This technique is based on the principle of electrochemistry, where the metal to be protected is converted into a cathodic electrode in the electrochemical cell, thereby stopping the corrosion process.

  • Designing and implementing corrosion protection systems for buried metal structures.
  • Protecting pipelines and underground tanks from chemical corrosion.
  • Maintaining protection systems regularly to ensure their efficiency.
  • Extending the lifespan of structures and reducing repair costs.
