Benchmark Surveys

If 2026 was a test of character, I think we just passed the test (when will it end).
Yesterday started with equipment troubles on-site in Torquay, only to be hit with the "dreaded news": our Stream DP had developed a fault way up in Elgin, Scotland.
In a small company, you don’t just "log a ticket" and wait. You move. To keep our project on track and maintain the standards our clients expect, I embarked on a bit of a marathon:
* Torquay → Home: Quick pack of clothes!
* Stoke-on-Trent: A massive shoutout to Shane Gwilt for sourcing a replacement radar at incredibly short notice.
* Clitheroe, Lancashire: A pitstop to see my school friend Alice and her husband James on her birthday (thanks for the bed and the birthday hospitality!).
* The Final Stretch: A 7-hour trek north this morning to reach the team in Scotland.
Let’s be honest: the start of this year has been relentless.
Between 4 van breakdowns, CCTV camera faults, a broken Trimble TSC7, and now the Stream DP issue, it would have been very easy to throw in the towel.
But we pride ourselves on delivering projects on time and to the highest standard, no matter the logistics. Challenges are just part of the job—giving up isn't.
We’re back on track, the antenna is on-site, and we’re ready to get to work. Scotland, let’s do this! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
