Identification (Ident) Survey
This type of service simply means we will identify and mark your existing property boundaries. This may be required for a number of reasons, the most common being when you plan to erect a fence or construct some form of structure on your property, and you wish to have confidence that you are not building over your boundary line onto your neighbour's property.
Our registered surveyor/s will measure the site involved to determine the location of buildings on or adjacent to the land and any fences present. They will check for the existence of easements (for drainage, etc.), covenants and restrictions on land use and whether or not the property complies with the terms of these conditions.
Our team pay special attention to any encroachments by, or upon the land or upon any easements. In the instance of a residence we will report back to the owner on the distances of the walls or eaves and gutters from the side boundary of the land.

Cadastral Surveys
This service concerns the work required to adjust the land boundaries, between two or more properties. The intended purpose of a boundary realignment is for the alteration of boundaries to correct an existing encroachment and/or land management problem. The changes associated with boundary realignment surveys are normally minor in nature and areas and dimensions do not alter significantly. It is not the intention that any boundary realignment service should be considered for any significant layout changes and these type of major changes to the lot boundaries would be considered as a subdivision service which is detailed below. If you are unsure of what service you require please contact us at Atkinson & Booy Surveys, and we will be able to provide the appropriate advice to assist you.
Engineering Surveys
These surveys are generally associated with the design and construction of new infrastructure projects, and are undertaken for the purpose of obtaining information essential to the planning of an engineering project.
These may include high-rise buildings, roads, tunnels etc. to ensure they are built in accordance with the design criteria with regards to location, size and shape. Although an engineering surveyor is not required by legislation to be registered with the Surveyors Board of Queensland, at Atkinson & Booy Surveys our surveyors are registered with an engineering endorsement with the Board.

Mining Surveys
From time to time, Atkinson & Booy Surveys are requested to provide services to this sector. Atkinson & Booy Surveys owner, has continued to provide mining survey services within the Mount Isa area, which can involve work in both open cut and underground mines.
The type of service delivered can include measuring underground and open-cut mines in detail and assisting in the location of new mines and avoiding the safety issues which can be present in older mines, while allowing connections to be made between different underground passages.
Mine surveyors also establish the boundaries of mining claims in some states and territories. In underground mines the mine surveyor will determine and control the location and direction of tunnels as well as the mapping of all underground tunnels.
Although this service is provided by Atkinson & Booy Surveys it obviously is specifically aimed at the mining industry which are located out from our base here in Townsville.
