Marking & Setting Out

Our extensive range of marking and setting out equipment for creating reference points and markers that will guide new constructions and structures such as roads or buildings.

Robotic Layout

Robotic layout solution. Quick, accurate and easy construction site layouts. Experience HP’s construction layout robot and transform how your construction site layouts get made.

Spray Paint & Accessories

A wide range of spray paints which are suitable for permanently marking nearly all types of surface.

Crayons, Chalk & Markers

General-purpose non-toxic wax Crayons in colours including red, blue, yellow and white suited for marking on nearly any surface

Flags & Line

An effective way to help engineers and surveyors mark and identify utilities underground or surveying points

Nails & Markers

A large range of high-quality general purpose, levelling and reference nails.

Identification Markers

Ideal for providing reference points to guide new structures and constructions such as buildings or roads.

Pipe Nails

Highly visible making it easier to find pipes when installed in the ground.

Stakes & Pins

When marking and setting out various accessories can be used for identifying key areas.

Station Markers

Anchor station markers can be used to provide and identify permanent survey stations.

Ranging Poles

Ideal for marking out key points for measuring and available in different high visibility lengths and colour options.

Prism Squares

Hand instruments used by surveyors to lay off right angles that are multiples of 90° or of 45°.

Plumb Bobs

A variety of weights to provide perfect vertical datum lines, transcribe positions onto the ground and the set up of instruments over fixed marker points

Marking Tape

High quality and strong flagging tape suited when used with survey stakes for marking out boundaries.

Setting Tools

Tools for placing and setting the nails correctly and accurately.

Survey Books

Ideal for recording data and available in a variety of easy to use design layouts for multiple tasks.

Spray Paints are suitable for permanently marking nearly all types of surface and general purpose non-toxic wax Crayons are available in many different colours and are suited for marking on nearly any surface. We have various types of Chalk for temporary marking and our engineers Chalk is specifically suited for metal, specifically steel. The SCCS Chalk line (refills available) are perfect for drawing straight lines on concrete, plaster, metal.

We also have various types of marker including the standard Edding Markers and the Markal paint sticks which combine the performance of paint with the easy use of a crayon and work on virtually any surface and are weather and UV resistant

We provide varying types of flags in different colours to out specific areas/objects and are a very cost effective way to help with general surveying tasks. For other type of marking out then wooden stakes work well and our road pins are perfect for concrete form work.

Anchor Station Markers provide and identify permanent survey stations with additional inserts in various colours available for increased visibility. Our high quality Ranging Poles are made from wood and steel and are ideal for marking out key points for measuring.

Marking Tape is strong flagging tape ideally suited when used with survey stakes for marking out boundaries. The tape comes in a variety of colour options and the highly visible black and yellow barrier warning tape is ideal for marking hazardous areas.

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.
