NRG Surveys

I have used NRG software for Both NATM Tunnelling and TBM Tunnelling Projects also for Profile Measurements and Deformation monitoring. This software is wonderful. This software is user-friendly and excellent.

We have used NRG software for 20 years now and found it user friendly when processing data and any questions or issues were easily resolved by the team.

We have been using NRG Survey System and Digital Terrain Mapping software since 1998 and they have become an essential part of our workflow. The software is employed by our Quantity Surveyors, Land Surveyors and Managers, and seamlessly integrates the design, setting out and measurement aspects of our work, allowing us to be more efficient and in better control of the tasks in hand. We are frequently asked to provide budget costings for projects with scant information and no Bills of Quantities. With NRG we are able to carry out a topographical survey of the proposed site, establish top of rock levels from test pits, input the design including finished levels, and from this data calculate the necessary quantities required for the estimate. We are also able to produce 3D renderings and cross sections through the site for the client and highlight any problem areas that might exist. DTM Map allows us to determine changes to the consultants proposed earthworks design to balance cut and fill requirements, thus saving the client money, a service which is greatly appreciated. We have found that we can use the software for applications outside of the intended purchase function; an example of which was the design for the extension of the runway on Mustique. Measurement for valuation purposes is another of the softwares strengths, with volume calculations being a particularly powerful tool. Data can be presented in many ways, from cross sections to levels on a set grid within different models, allowing the clients representative to check and confirm quantities easily, saving both time and effort in agreeing the final account. On site NRG is extremely user friendly, straight forward and easy to use, and saves our surveyors a considerable amount of time in the field. One aspect they comment on is that once the horizontal and vertical string information has been entered, any point within the proposed survey can be interrogated for chainage, offset, proposed height and the amount of cut or fill required. The use of strings is extremely versatile, and our surveyors employ them for many applications, even for setting out building gridlines. Client support is another of NRGs major strengths, and we can speak with one of the programmers should we have a query. This attention to our needs we find invaluable, and unique in an industry dominated by large, faceless software houses. We are also able to suggest features we would like to see in the software, and this will be taken into consideration and often acted upon and incorporated in future releases. The annual User Group meeting is a good forum to be brought up to date on the latest software release, which I can attest to, having attended every one since their inception in 2003. Of particular value is the ability to have one on one sessions with the programmers for training or advice on any aspect of the software. If I had to sum up the NRG suite of software it would be: powerful, intuitive and user friendly, and for us, indispensable. Guy Roberts MRICS, ACIArb Director & Senior Quantity Surveyor C.O.

I have been using NRG engineering software since joining Skanska U.K. Civils in 2000. When I formed my own company TRI Surveys in 2006 I considered a range of software options, however NRG stood head and shoulders above the others for my requirements both technically and for their personal service. NRG's engineering software continues to develop over the years but they never lose their professional close relationship with the end user. Whether I am working on major earthwork surveys, road and rail design alignments or a detailed topographic survey, to me they are second to none.

I have been using NRG for almost 30 years, when I started in 1989 with Balfour Beatty on the M40 Motorway in Banbury. In 2002 I started with Graham Construction & insisted during my Interview that I had the latest Trimble GPS kit along with NRG Surveying Software to make the role possible. NRG has come on in the last few years with the addition of importing Point Cloud data. On the A6 Road Contract, we are using a Sensefly eBee+ Drone to capture data on a weekly basis. The data options include point cloud data and I import this into DTM to create 3D model. With this model, I can surface different materials & determine Cut & Fill quantities between different surveys within different zones. The option to import Genio Design models & Create cross Sections in PDF is really important for our site team, so they can plan works based on the model info. There is no other software on the market that comes near NRG. I have tried LSS & TBC, but would always prefer NRG, So much that we have 3 licences in Graham Construction & I have 2 surveyors who also use it every day. I would use NRG about 6 hrs every day, when Im not Surveying..
