Metroscan provides reliable GPR and utility surveys in County Kildare, our base location, for consultant engineers, contractors, developers, utilities & local authorities throughout the county and across Ireland.
Being based in Kildare gives our team convenient access to Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, Leixlip, Celbridge, Kildare Town, Athy and surrounding areas, while our nationwide capability allows us to support larger projects wherever specialist survey information is required.
Why Metroscan
Call +353 86 193 5847 or email ci****@*******an.ie to discuss your project.
We support projects from initial site investigation through design, construction and infrastructure management.
Services can be commissioned individually or combined where engineers and project teams require a broader understanding of above-ground and below-ground site conditions.
Our underground utility locating services help identify and map detectable buried infrastructure before excavation, construction or design work begins.
For engineering and construction projects across Kildare, this can provide valuable information about existing services before intrusive work takes place.
Key benefits include:
No underground detection method can guarantee that every buried feature will be identified. Site conditions, utility materials, depth and other factors can affect detection.
Our Ground Penetrating Radar surveys provide non-invasive investigation of suitable surfaces to help identify detectable underground utilities, buried structures, voids and other subsurface features.
Applications can include:
GPR performance varies according to ground conditions, moisture, target depth and material characteristics. Metroscan uses GPR as an investigation and risk-reduction tool rather than guaranteeing complete underground detection.
Our topographical surveys provide detailed information about site levels, terrain and existing visible features.
Typical outputs can help with:
Our commercial CCTV drain surveys provide camera-based investigation of drainage infrastructure for commercial, industrial and construction projects.
This service is particularly relevant for:
Our commercial CCTV drain surveys provide camera-based investigation of drainage infrastructure for commercial, industrial and construction projects.
This service is particularly relevant for:
Our construction surveys support engineering and contracting teams during active project delivery.
Accurate survey information helps teams coordinate construction activity with project drawings, site conditions and engineering requirements.
Construction surveying can also be supported by topographical information, underground utility surveys and other site-specific investigations where required.
Our building survey services support refurbishment, redevelopment and construction projects where teams require clearer information about existing buildings and structural features.
These services can assist architects, engineers, developers and property professionals when existing-condition information is required before design or intrusive works.
Our aerial drone surveys provide efficient aerial data capture for larger or more complex sites.
Depending on project requirements, drone surveying can support:
Drone operations remain subject to suitable site conditions and project-specific operational requirements.
Our manhole surveys help record underground access points and associated infrastructure.
They can complement utility and drainage surveys by adding information about accessible chambers, connections and network features to the wider site dataset.
Our fire hydrant testing service supports commercial organisations, contractors, local authorities and facilities teams requiring information about hydrant condition and performance.
Services can include flow and pressure testing, visual inspection, asset recording and reporting according to the agreed project scope.
Our GPR post-processing service helps transform collected GPR information into clearer project outputs for interpretation, coordination and decision-making.
For projects involving more complex datasets, post-processing can be an important part of turning field information into practical survey deliverables.
You can also review the typical deliverables of GPR utility survey data.
We can support commercial and infrastructure requirements across locations including:
Our base provides convenient access towards Dublin and the wider Leinster region where projects require surveys across several locations.
Metroscan primarily works with professional project teams requiring dependable survey information for real planning, design and construction decisions.
We support:
Projects within established urban environments may need to account for:
Where several survey disciplines are needed, services can be coordinated to give the wider project team a more useful combined dataset.
County Kildare Team
County Kildare contains a mix of established towns, expanding residential areas, major transport routes, employment centres, industrial facilities and greenfield development land.
The current Kildare County Development Plan covers 2023 to 2029 and includes dedicated policies relating to housing, economic development, sustainable transport, infrastructure, environmental services, energy and communications.
That planning framework continues to evolve. In February 2026, Kildare County Council adopted a new Newbridge Settlement Plan as a variation to the County Development Plan, providing an updated planning framework for the future development of the town.
Naas is also subject to ongoing strategic planning. Kildare County Council is progressing a framework for the Naas North-West Quadrant, intended to facilitate a substantial mixed-use urban district with new housing and supporting infrastructure.
For engineers, developers and contractors, development of this scale can create requirements for dependable information about:
Metroscan does not claim involvement in the specific planning programmes referenced above. They provide relevant context for the continuing development and infrastructure environment across County Kildare.
Useful surveying is not simply about collecting data. The information needs to be understandable and appropriate for the people making project decisions.
Our typical workflow includes:
We assess the site, survey area, available drawings, required information and project objectives before determining the appropriate approach.
Our technicians collect the required site data using equipment and methodologies suited to the project.
Collected information is assessed and processed according to the survey type and required deliverables.
Outputs are prepared for use by the relevant engineering, construction, development or project team.
Where more detailed GPR interpretation is needed, our GPR post-processing service can support the preparation of the collected dataset.
Yes. Metroscan supports projects throughout County Kildare as well as surrounding counties and nationwide Ireland.
Contact us with the project location and scope so we can assess the requirements and availability.
Yes. Some projects benefit from complementary survey methods.
For example, underground utility locating can be combined with topographical surveying to provide useful information about both below-ground and above-ground conditions.
The appropriate combination depends on the project specification.
No. GPR and other utility detection technologies have practical limitations and we do not guarantee 100% underground detection.
Results can be affected by ground conditions, moisture, depth, target material and other site-specific factors. Professional surveying improves the information available to project teams and helps reduce uncertainty.
Metroscan aims to respond efficiently to commercial enquiries and can provide rapid quotations when sufficient project information is supplied.
For the quickest assessment, send:
Yes. We support both individual surveys and larger commercial, engineering and infrastructure projects.
The exact survey programme depends on site size, complexity, access and required deliverables.
Pricing varies according to factors including:
Providing a clear project specification allows us to prepare a more accurate quotation.
