Metroscan supports engineering, construction and infrastructure projects throughout Cork with specialist above-ground and below-ground surveying services.
Surveys can be commissioned individually or combined to help project teams understand existing site conditions, investigate potential constraints and coordinate design and construction activity.
Our underground utility locating services help identify and map detectable buried services before excavation, groundworks or development begins.
Cork’s established urban areas, industrial sites and infrastructure corridors can contain complex underground utility networks that require careful investigation.
Our surveys can support:
Utility detection helps reduce uncertainty but cannot guarantee that every buried service will be identified. Results depend on site conditions, utility characteristics and the methods used.
Our Ground Penetrating Radar surveys provide non-invasive investigation of suitable ground and surfaces to help identify detectable underground features.
GPR can support projects involving:
For projects involving existing roads, industrial premises or redevelopment sites, GPR can provide valuable information before intrusive works begin.
Ground conditions, moisture, depth and target materials affect detection performance. GPR is used to improve site understanding rather than guarantee complete underground visibility.
Our topographical surveys provide information about site levels, terrain and visible features to support engineering and development projects.
Typical applications include:
For larger developments, combining topographical and utility surveys can help engineers assess surface features alongside detectable underground constraints.
Our commercial CCTV drain surveys help investigate accessible drainage infrastructure using specialist camera equipment.
These surveys are relevant for:
CCTV inspections can help identify visible pipe defects, obstructions and drainage conditions, with findings recorded for engineering or maintenance purposes.
Our construction surveys support contractors and engineering teams during active construction.
Depending on project requirements, services can assist with setting out, site measurements and coordination between design information and existing site conditions.
Construction surveying can also be combined with utility investigations and topographical data where additional site information is required.
Our building surveys support projects involving existing structures, commercial buildings and redevelopment sites.
These services can provide information for:
Our aerial drone surveys provide aerial data capture for suitable construction, development and infrastructure sites.
Applications can include:
Drone operations depend on suitable conditions, airspace restrictions and project-specific requirements.
Our manhole surveys help record accessible chambers, connections and underground infrastructure features.
They can complement drainage investigations, topographical surveys and utility mapping by providing additional information about existing networks.
Our fire hydrant testing service supports commercial properties, industrial facilities, contractors and public-sector organisations across Cork.
Depending on the agreed scope, services can include:
Our GPR post-processing service helps convert collected radar data into clearer information for interpretation and engineering use.
For complex investigations, processing can support the review of subsurface findings and preparation of project-specific outputs.

Metroscan supports commercial, construction and infrastructure projects across Cork City, surrounding employment centres and wider County Cork.
Locations we can cover include:
Our nationwide operating model also supports projects involving multiple sites across Cork, Munster and the wider Republic of Ireland.
Cork contains a diverse mix of city-centre development, pharmaceutical manufacturing, industrial facilities, port infrastructure, commercial property and transport networks.
Metroscan supports professional teams working across these environments, including:
Different projects may require several survey methods to develop a clearer understanding of surface and subsurface conditions.
Cork Team
Cork is an important centre for engineering, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics and commercial development.
Its combination of established urban infrastructure, expanding employment areas and major transport connections creates varied surveying requirements.
City-centre redevelopment, public realm improvements and roadworks can involve congested underground utility networks, existing drainage infrastructure and restricted construction areas.
For these projects, utility locating, GPR and topographical surveys can help engineering teams investigate site conditions before design and excavation.
Little Island and Carrigtwohill contain significant commercial and industrial activity, including manufacturing, warehousing and business facilities.
Surveying requirements in these environments may include:
The Ringaskiddy and Cork Harbour area supports port-related, industrial, pharmaceutical and logistics activity.
Projects involving industrial facilities, transport connections and infrastructure upgrades may require detailed information about buried utilities, drainage networks and existing site levels.
Road improvement schemes, transport infrastructure, drainage upgrades and utility installation projects throughout the area can require coordinated survey information.
Relevant investigations may include:
Our surveying process is designed to provide engineers, contractors and developers with information that can be used in planning, design and construction workflows.
We assess the site location, survey area, existing drawings, required information and project objectives.
The appropriate survey methods and equipment are selected based on site conditions, access and project requirements.
Collected information is reviewed and processed according to the survey type, agreed specification and required deliverables.
Survey information is prepared for use by the relevant engineering, construction or development team.
Depending on the project, deliverables can include utility drawings, topographical plans, CAD-compatible files, GPR findings, drainage reports and supporting documentation.
Where detailed radar interpretation is required, our GPR post-processing service can provide additional support.
Yes. Metroscan supports projects across Cork City and County Cork, including Little Island, Ringaskiddy, Carrigtwohill, Midleton, Ballincollig, Mallow and surrounding areas.
Contact us with your project location and survey requirements to discuss availability.
Yes. Combining underground utility locating with topographical surveys can provide useful information about both detectable buried services and existing surface conditions.
This can help engineers coordinate site layouts, infrastructure designs and construction planning.
No. GPR and other utility locating methods have practical limitations.
Detection depends on ground conditions, moisture, target depth, utility material and other site-specific factors. Surveys help reduce uncertainty but cannot guarantee complete detection.
Yes. Metroscan can support surveying requirements for industrial, manufacturing and pharmaceutical facilities.
Depending on the project, services may include utility locating, GPR, topographical surveys, commercial CCTV drainage investigations and construction surveying.
Yes. These locations fall within our service coverage.
We can assess individual site investigations and larger projects requiring multiple survey disciplines.
Metroscan aims to respond efficiently to commercial enquiries and can prepare quotations promptly when sufficient project information is available.
For the quickest assessment, provide:
Yes. Metroscan supports individual site investigations as well as larger engineering, construction and infrastructure projects.
The appropriate survey programme depends on site size, access, complexity and required deliverables.
Pricing depends on several factors, including:
Providing drawings and a clear survey specification helps us prepare an appropriate quotation.
