Services
Boundary Surveys
We conduct precise boundary determinations for properties ranging from small city lots to large hillside parcels. Our process includes comprehensive deed research, monument recovery, and preparation of legal descriptions. With experience in over 1,400 parcel boundary resolutions, we ensure accurate property line documentation that meets county filing requirements.
Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys capture detailed elevation data and surface features for engineering design and development projects. Using advanced surveying equipment, we create accurate terrain models that support infrastructure planning and construction. These surveys serve as foundational data for highway, railway, and pipeline projects requiring precise elevation control.
Right-of-Way Engineering
We provide specialized surveying services for transportation and utility corridor projects. Our work includes boundary research, control network establishment, and mapping for highway improvements, railway expansions, and flood control projects. We prepare comprehensive records of survey that document pre-construction and post-construction conditions with detailed monumentation ties.
Horizontal Control Surveys
Our GPS network control surveys establish precise coordinate systems for large-scale projects. These surveys provide the foundational framework for mapping and construction activities, ensuring spatial accuracy across extensive project areas. We implement rigorous quality control measures to maintain measurement integrity throughout the survey lifecycle.
Legal Descriptions
We prepare detailed legal descriptions and plats for property transfers, utility easements, and infrastructure projects. Our documentation meets county recording standards and includes comprehensive reference to existing monuments and survey records. This service supports both private property transactions and public works projects requiring formal land documentation.
