Survey Solutions, a provider of engineering surveying and monitoring services, has announced the acquisition of Essex-headquartered utility surveying specialist, SurvaTec, for an undisclosed sum.
The deal marks Survey Solutions’ second acquisition since it underwent a management buyout in December 2023, backed by private equity firm WestBridge.
“This acquisition marks another step in our buy-and-build strategy, strengthening Survey Solution’s position in the market and creating new growth opportunities,” said Peter Barkley, partner at WestBridge.
“There are huge opportunities for organic and acquisitive growth which we will continue to explore.”
In October last year, Survey Solutions entered the rail sector with the acquisition of JWG Survey & Engineering.
Founded in 1997, Survey Solutions has 14 regional offices and 200 full-time employees, most of whom are specialist surveyors.
The company provides a range of engineering survey and monitoring services, including land, building, underground and hydrographic surveys, along with support services, infrastructure asset condition surveys and site engineering.
Clients include Thames Water, Transport for London, Aecom, Jacobs, Balfour Beatty and Kier.
Established in 2004, SurvaTec provides land surveys, utility mapping and specialist geospatial solutions across the UK.
SurvaTec managing director, Ben Shearman, will remain with the business.
Shearman said: “I’m proud of the exceptional team we have at SurvaTec who consistently deliver excellent service to our clients in the commercial and private sectors.
“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter and I’m looking forward to the opportunities that being part of a larger group will present.”
