Here at MK Surveys we have recently invested in a defibrillator at our headquarters in Milton Keynes, which is located in our reception area.
According to the British Heart Foundation, for every minute without receiving CPR or defibrillation, the chances of survival of cardiac arrest decrease by up to 10%.
Installing a defibrillator can more than double the chances of saving someone’s life if they’ve had a cardiac arrest, which is why we think having one on site is so important.
Here at MK Surveys, we believe our staff are our biggest asset and this week we are proud to have launched our Private Medical Insurance benefit for our amazing staff via Vitality.
Vitality rewards our employees for healthy living through the Vitality Champions Programme.
Just one of the many perks of working for us!

MK Surveys New Southern Office
MK Surveys are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed a move to a new office in Sayers Common. The Horsham office will now be re-named our Southern Office.
Having opened the Horsham Office back in January 2012, starting in a small room in Cowfold, we relocated to Horsham in April 2014, with one room on the first floor of Hillreed House. With the increase in staff numbers and work load, we were in a position to occupy a second room within Hillreed House a couple of years later.
Now that we have established ourselves in the southern part of the country, with a loyal client base, and with the hard work and drive of all the staff members working from there, the decision was made to move to larger premises, giving us the space to further grow the office and our presence in the area.
We would like to thank everyone that has played their part in the success of this office so far, and we look forward to a bright future for our Southern Office.
MK Surveys are immensely proud to be celebrating our 50th year in business

Many thanks to our long-standing clients, and also to our staff for their continued dedication and hard work.

Silverstone Circuit Resurface 2019
We have carried out surveys at the world famous circuit for over 25 years, and since our purchase of a Leica Geosystems Pegasus2 we have mobile mapped the circuit many times for resurfacing works and 3D virtualisation.
For the 2019 resurfacing that was carried out by Tarmac and Dromo the Italian track designers, we carried out mobile mapping and static scanning at all stages before during and after the project. We worked to very tight timescales and to demanding tolerances set by Dromo, which we achieved by using cutting edge LIDAR technology and by pre-installing a huge amount of highly accurate dimensional control.
Following each track scan the data was given to Dromo to compare with their design model and all corrections fed into the Topcon machine control systems to enable the smoothest surface at each stage of the asphalt laying process. We had one very memorable lap a couple of hours after F1 qualifying on the Saturday, much of the crowd had gone but there was still a great atmosphere as we drove round albeit somewhat slower than the F1 lap record!
It was a pleasure to collaborate with the design and construction team together with Silverstone Circuit themselves.
