Measuring Tapes
We supply and stock professional construction Pocket Tapes which are easy to use and extremely accurate. Each is ergonomically designed and measures distances up to 8 metres. The top of the range Fisco 8 metre tape measures in the same way as SCCS and Fisco TUF-LOK tapes but is designed and ideal for easy setting out and quick calculation of brick quantities.
Our range of Open Frame Tapes are manufactured to a high standard and are durable and designed for on-site conditions. The Fisco fibron tapes are extremely accurate and impact resistant with the tape made from fibreglass and PVC. Each Richter fibron tape is waterproof and resistant to dirt. Other recommended tapes include the Fisco Pacer which is very robust and includes a ground spike and the Richter Steel Tape which is finished with a resistant varnish. Our longest range tape is the 100metre SCCS Steel Surveyors Band manufactured by Richter.
If there are any Pocket Tapes that you cannot find on the website please call us on 01480 404888 or email us at sales@sccssurvey.co.uk and we will source them for you.

Leica iCON Construction Tools
The importance of digital measurement and layout techniques is growing due to increased project complexity, digitalization, and the industry's need for clear documentation. The Leica iCON iCS20 and iCS50 3D tools simplify tasks with visual measurement technology, automated workflows, and intuitive software, requiring minimal training for quick deployment.
Implementing Noise, Dust, and Vibration Monitoring for Civil Engineering Projects in UK Cities
As UK cities grow, urban construction projects face increasing scrutiny over environmental impacts like noise, dust, and vibration. These factors can affect public health, safety, and nearby structures, especially in densely populated areas or near schools, hospitals, and heritage sites. Poor management can lead to noise complaints, air quality violations, and even structural damage, resulting in delays, fines, or costly project setbacks. Monitoring helps ensure regulatory compliance, safeguard communities, and protect sensitive buildings.
