   The purpose of a topographic survey is for the determination of the configuration of the surface of the ground and the location of natural and artificial objects. A topographic survey provides elevation, contour, and relief of the subject lands. A survey made to establish or to re-establish a boundary line on the ground or to obtain data for constructing a map or plat showing a boundary line. A survey to determine data relating to bodies of water. Typically including directions and force of currents, heights and times of tides and water stages, depth of water, configuration of the sea bottom and the locations of fixed objects. A cadastral survey relates to land boundaries and subdivisions, made to create units suitable for transfer or to define the limitations of title. This survey provides data and information regarding the feasibility, general location possibilities, and probable costs of right-of-way, use, maintenance, and construction for the routes of railroads, highways, canals, pipe lines, and transmission lines. This type of survey is utilized when a contractor, design engineer, or architect is planning changes to an existing facility. It provides an accurate description of post construction conditions. Mortgage surveys show the location, brief descriptions, and dimensions of all structures on the property, including driveways, swimming pools, fences, pole barns, etc. This type of survey known as Quantity Survey is for obtaining measurements of quantities. Utilized with the construction process for earthwork, major excavations, landfills, sludge disposal, earthen dams, and disputed quantities. Complete site survey of scenes including vehicle, homicide, terrorism, and major transportation accidents. Topographic, and data collection surveys produce the best display and mapping exhibits for settlement or litigation. A survey for condominiums that provides the location of the major site improvements such as utilities, parking, structures, curbing, etc... Aerial photography comes after an accurate geodetic control is established. Parcel maps are built from and referenced to features that are visible in the aerial photos. Overall project timing, size of the project area, and scale must all be considered. Echo sounding is the technique of emitting sound pulses and measuring the resulting sound waves. We offer complete building design. Site planning and design, structure planning, infrastructure design, geotechnical investigation, structural design, foundation design, flooring and roofing systems evaluation and design, and environmental analysis. Many commercial and residential lenders require elevation certificates if a property has been determined to be in a flood zone. Certification is useful if you are required to pay flood insurance and don’t believe you are in a flood zone. We offer all phases of subdivision engineering services including topography and boundary surveying, grading plans, infrastructure and plat design, construction phasing, drainage design, traffic impact studies, and cost estimates.
