How this helps on site

Accommodation village survey support

Operational examples showing how Noble Surveys supports WA teams on similar scopes.

Scenario

Accommodation village survey support from earthworks to handover

Large accommodation villages combine earthworks, roads, services and hundreds of building modules on a tight program, with civil contractors and camp builders working side by side.

Noble Surveys approach

Noble Surveys has supported villages of 500 to 700+ rooms, including Paris Grove in Australind, Greater Rhodes Ridge near Paraburdoo, Bonnie Downs in the Chichester Range and the Talison camp at Greenbushes. Work covered control, earthworks and pad set-out, services, module placement, conformance checks, volumes and as-constructed records.

Control networks tied to project or mine grid
Control verification before key construction stages
Control reports and coordinate files for all contractors

Earthworks, pads and roads

Set-out and pickups for bulk earthworks, building pads, roads, carparks and hardstands, with volume reporting to support progress and claims.

Pad, batter and road set-out
Machine control model support where required
Volume and surface comparison reporting

Services and module placement

Set-out for underground services and building or module locations, with checks so services connect cleanly to each module.

Sewer, water, drainage, power and comms set-out
Module and building footprint set-out
Placement and connection point checks

Conformance and as-constructed records

Conformance checks during construction and as-constructed records at handover for civil contractors, builders and camp owners.

Pad and road conformance checks against design
As-constructed services and civil records
DWG/DXF, PDF and surface outputs for handover

How we support mine camp projects

Camp projects run several trades at once. Survey support is planned around the construction sequence so each contractor gets set-out and checks when they need them.

Control and planning

Planning

Shared control for every trade on site.

We establish or verify site control, confirm the design data and coordinate system, and agree survey priorities with the civil contractor and camp builder before works start.

Construction set-out and checks

Construction

Set-out and checks aligned to the build sequence.

We set out earthworks, pads, roads, services and module locations, then carry out conformance checks and pickups as each stage is completed.

As-constructed and handover

Handover

Records matched to client handover requirements.

We prepare as-constructed records for civil works, services and buildings so the builder and camp owner have clear records at handover.

FAQs

Common questions about Mine camp surveys

Answers to the questions we hear most from WA project teams.

What survey work do you do on mine camps?

We provide control establishment and verification, bulk earthworks and pad set-out, roads and hardstands, services set-out, module placement, conformance checks, volumes and as-constructed records for mine camps and accommodation villages.

Which mine camps have you worked on?

Examples include Paris Grove Accommodation Village in Australind, Greater Rhodes Ridge near Paraburdoo, Bonnie Downs in the Chichester Range and the Talison camp at Greenbushes, ranging from around 500 to more than 700 rooms.

Do you work for the civil contractor or the camp builder?

Both. We support civil contractors on earthworks, roads and services, and camp builders on building and module set-out and handover records. Using one survey team for both keeps everyone on the same control.

Can you supply FIFO survey crews?

Yes. We supply FIFO survey crews for Pilbara and regional projects on 8:6, 2:2 or 2:1 rosters, depending on project needs.

What do we receive at handover?

Typical handover records include as-constructed civil and services drawings, building and module location records, conformance reports, control reports and DWG/DXF, PDF or surface files to suit your requirements.
