Wi-Fi Site Surveys
Optimise your wireless infrastructure with expert precision using Threl Build to deliver professional Wi-Fi site surveys designed to show the key factors of wireless performance. Using industry-leading Wireless Survey provider Ekahau, our surveyors can conduct in-depth assessments of your existing infrastructure, identify any coverage gaps or interference and therefore optimise performance with a design and installation programme, which would also be kept in house and undertaken by our engineers. We can implement advanced security protocols to safeguard your network from potential threats and tailor it to your needs. Whether you require a complete new survey or an addition, we can help.
What's included
Following the survey, you’ll receive a comprehensive report featuring:
- Coverage insights
- Tailored recommendations
- Strategies to enhance performance, coverage, and reliability
Robust WiFi connectivity is essential for businesses of every size. Our team supports all sectors – from MOD & MOJ, to offices and warehouses to hospitality and education; we always ensure your network delivers consistent, high-speed performance where it matters most.

What Is a WiFi Site Survey?
A WiFi site survey is a comprehensive assessment of your premises to determine the optimal placement and configuration of wireless access points (APs). Its core objective is to ensure seamless, high-performance coverage across all required zones – including internal spaces, outdoor areas, and high-density environments.
Our engineers examine key wireless parameters to build a complete picture of your network environment:
Spectrum Analysis
Identifies channel congestion and interference sources.
Signal Strength Mapping
Measures coverage and signal quality across your site.
Interference Detection
Pinpoints physical and electronic obstacles affecting performance.
These insights allow us to design and implement a tailored wireless solution that delivers speed, stability, and scalability.
Whether you’re operating a compact workspace or a large multi-floor facility, reliable WiFi is essential to modern business operations.
Types of WiFi Site Surveys
Predictive Survey
A software-based simulation that models your site virtually using architectural drawings and environmental parameters.
- Ideal for early-stage planning or pre-deployment estimates
- Fast and cost-effective
- Less precise than on-site methods
Active Survey
Conducted on-site to measure actual signal strength, data throughput, and coverage.
- Captures real-world performance metrics
- Validates network behaviour under live conditions
- Essential for post-deployment tuning and troubleshooting
Passive Survey
Monitors all WiFi traffic and background RF activity without connecting to the network.
- Detects interference, noise, and rogue devices
- Maps channel usage and signal overlap
- Crucial for spectrum analysis and security audits
Each method contributes unique insights to help design, validate, and optimise your wireless infrastructure. Our team will guide you through the most appropriate approach or a combination to suit your site, budget, and performance goals.
