Services
Survey and Mapping
Our survey and mapping services provide precise spatial data for infrastructure and real estate projects. Using robotic total stations and LiDAR, we deliver topographic maps, boundary surveys, and utility location data. This foundational information supports design, construction, and regulatory compliance for clients across the Northeast.
Subsurface Utility Exploration
Subsurface Utility Exploration (SUE) identifies underground utilities to mitigate excavation risks. We combine ground-penetrating radar, vacuum excavation, and record research to create accurate utility maps. This service prevents costly damages and ensures safety for infrastructure projects like roadway upgrades and transmission lines.
LiDAR 3D Laser Scanning
LiDAR 3D laser scanning captures detailed as-built conditions for complex structures. We use this technology for bridge rehabilitation, airport modeling, and corridor mapping projects. The resulting point clouds enable precise measurements and clash detection in BIM workflows for improved construction outcomes.
GIS Services
GIS services integrate spatial data for asset management and planning. We create standardized GIS databases for counties and utilities, enabling data-driven decisions. Our work includes drone data processing, watershed mapping, and needs assessments to optimize geospatial workflows for public agencies.
Machine Control Modeling
Machine control modeling guides construction equipment with real-time GPS data. We develop 3D models for grading, paving, and excavation projects. This service improves efficiency and accuracy for infrastructure work like intersection improvements and pipeline installations.
