Engineering Surveys

Small measurement mistakes? They can turn into big, expensive headaches fast.Our engineering surveys stop that mess before it starts. You get solid, accurate measurements you can count on from day one to the finish line.

Setting Out

We mark exactly where each structure should go. With clear control points in place, your team can get to work, sure that everything lines up with the design

Structural & Movement Monitoring

We keep an eye on your structures over time. Catching movement early lets you fix
small issues before they turn into bigger headaches.

Site Engineering

Our site engineering support means your team always has someone to rely on. From double-checking levels to verifying layouts, we help keep everything on track.

Primary & Secondary Control Establishment

We establish strong survey control networks that act as a reference across the site. A
tight control network ensures your contractors are all working on the same page.

Why These Surveys Matter

Setting Out

A small mistake in positioning gets expensive fast so getting it right from the start keeps your build on track and your budget in check.

Structural & Movement Monitoring

Catching movement early keeps buildings safe and sound.

Site Engineering

Work stops when measurements are off. Regular on-site checks keep everything aligned so your team keeps moving without delays

Primary & Secondary Control Establishment

If your reference points are wrong, everything downstream is wrong.

“I had the pleasure to work with Murray on a major development in Edinburgh City Centre, he came in at a very difficult period for us and really went above an beyond his role, his quality, attention to detail and problem solving were very much welcomed on this project. I couldn’t recommend Murray highly enough, if i could give more than 5 stars i would and i hope to work with Murray in the future again.”

“Murray did an outstanding job of surveying a house I was looking to purchase. His price was very reasonable but the level of detail was exceptional, the survey document was clear and Murray was great to deal with throughout. I would without a doubt use MJ Hernon again”

“I have worked with Murray on two major projects in London. London Bridge Station redevelopment and HS2 enabling works in Euston. He was a highly valued member of the team with a broad range engineering and survey related skill sets. He has an excellent understanding of client requirements and is extremely good at turning his hand to new situations and challenges. Very good at problem solving and providing solutions. One of the first on the team sheet for me.”

“Worked with MJH for a number of years and always provided a superb service.”

“Highly reliable and supports the project team throughout the full project lifecycle. Proactive, practical, and consistently brings innovative ideas that add real value on site and in delivery. A pleasure to work with and highly recommend. Looking forward to working on many more technically challenging schemes together!”

“M J Hernon Engineering Surveys undertook three drone surveys for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) over a period of five months running from November 2025 – March 2026. The drone surveys produced orthomosaic and DSM information compiled and produced into a report provided to SEPA. This data was used by SEPA to compare the landscape over time for evidence of disturbances or change. MJ Hernon Engineering Surveys provided additional support in 3D modelling and expertise to enhance SEPAs interpretation of the drone survey data.”
