Celtic Surveys supplies survey marking products for construction, surveying, engineering, forestry and outdoor fieldwork. The range includes marking paint, survey nails, permanent ground markers, flags, crayons and flagging tape for identifying measured points, routes, work areas and locations that need to be found again during later site visits.
Different marking products suit different surfaces and working conditions. A spray mark may be useful for a visible temporary reference on a suitable surface, while a survey nail or ground marker provides a more physical point. Flags and marking tape make locations easier to identify from a distance, particularly across open ground or vegetation.
Survey marking is used to make positions, routes and work areas easier to identify during measurement, setting out, inspection and site work.
The best option depends on where the mark will be placed, how visible it needs to be and how long it needs to remain in place. Some products are intended for temporary identification, while others provide a more durable reference for repeat visits.
Marking Paint provides a quick way to create visible marks on suitable site surfaces.
It can be used for setting out, identifying measurement points, marking routes or highlighting areas for later work. Different colours can also help teams distinguish between separate types of site information where a colour system is being used.
Before use, consider the surface, weather conditions and how long the mark needs to remain visible.
For points that need a physical reference, Survey Nails can be used on suitable surfaces for surveying and setting-out work.
The range includes coloured survey nails and washers that make marked positions easier to identify after installation.
Where a more permanent ground reference is required, Permanent Ground Markers provide another option for selected surveying and site applications.
These products are particularly useful where teams need to return to a known point during later stages of a project.
Marker Flags create a raised visual reference that can be easier to spot than a ground-level mark.
They are useful for identifying points across construction sites, fields, landscaped areas and other outdoor locations where vegetation, uneven ground or distance can make smaller marks difficult to see.
Multiple colours can also be used to distinguish different locations, tasks or stages of work.
Marking Crayons provide a simple hand-applied option for marking suitable materials and surfaces.
They can be useful where a direct visible mark is needed without using spray paint or installing a separate marker.
Crayons are particularly convenient for smaller marks, item identification and field tasks where the user needs a portable marking product that can be carried easily between locations.
Flagging Tape & Marking Tape provide a lightweight way to identify trees, posts, routes, boundaries, sample locations and other visible field references.
Because tape can be attached above ground level, it is useful where a marker needs to remain easy to see from a distance.
The range includes different colours, allowing teams to organise site or field references according to their own marking system.
The best marking product depends on the location and how the reference will be used.
For a quick visible surface mark, marking paint may be the simplest option. Survey nails and permanent markers are more suitable where a fixed physical reference is required. Flags and marking tape help make positions more visible across larger or vegetated areas, while crayons provide a straightforward option for marking suitable materials directly.
Also consider weather exposure, surface type, visibility and whether the point needs to be found again after other work has taken place on site.
