Engineering and construction surveying
Quantity and volume measurements
Quantity and volume measurements planned around the required accuracy, available information, site conditions, and intended technical outcome.
Overview
Maplas provides quantity and volume measurements through a scoped workflow. The source surfaces, boundaries, assumptions, units, comparison method, and quality of the input observations are documented before calculation. The selected approach is intended to produce traceable quantities for planning, comparison, or technical review. Scope and reliance are confirmed for the specific assignment, and no statutory outcome is guaranteed.
Typical use cases
This service may be useful for project planning, field verification, design or construction support, technical review, data preparation, quality control, or decision-making involving design geometry, construction control, site execution, quality checks, and as-built records. The appropriate use depends on the records, site, accuracy need, and requested output.
Expected deliverables
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables may include calculation inputs, assumptions, comparison surfaces, quantity schedules, and a concise results summary. Formats, coordinate references, assumptions, and limitations are confirmed before delivery.
Client preparation
Available records, the general location, intended use of the work, site-access information, and any known constraints should be discussed before the assignment is confirmed.
Maplas process
Maplas reviews the requirement, confirms an appropriate method, plans the field or technical work, checks the resulting data, and prepares the agreed outputs.
Professional scope
Regulated survey work is undertaken through an appropriately licensed survey partner and in accordance with applicable Kenyan professional and legal requirements.
