Topographic
Survey
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.
Boundary Survey
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.
Utility Route Survey
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.
As-Built
Survey
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.
Cadastral Survey A
cadastral survey relates to land boundaries and subdivisions, made to
create units suitable for transfer or to define the limitations of
title.

ALTA/ACSM
ALTA
stands for The American Land Title Association. ACSM stands for American
Congress on Surveying and Mapping. Both have set forth standards for
land title surveys. Usually a title company, lender, or owner will need
a survey that meets these standards.
GPS and GIS
GPS or Global Positioning Systems surveys producehighly accurate measurements without the necessity of a clear line of
sitebetween points. Allowing a surveyor to work in extraordinary
terrain, use
a one-man field crew, and measure along baselines of 5-20 miles; saving
time and money.
We also use GIS which stands for Geographic
Information Systems. They provide for better management of data in a
graphic manner fro site-specific data generation and GIS project
development.
Condominium Survey
A survey for
condominiums that provides the location of the major site improvements
such as utilities, parking, structures, curbing, etc.
Volumetric Survey
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.
Echo-sounding &
Modeling of the
Sub-terrain
Echo sounding is the technique of emitting sound pulses and measuring
the resulting sound waves.
Hydrology Survey
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. |

Elevation
Certificates
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.

Aerial Photogrammetry
and Control 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.
Plot Plans
with Aerial
Photos These
give you a real-life view of your property and help determine exactly
what is adjoining the property. It is a recent aerial photograph overlay
of your project.
Residential Mortgage Survey Mortgage
surveys show the location, brief descriptions, and dimensions of all
structures on the property, including driveways, swimming pools, fences,
pole barns, etc.
Accident and Forensic Survey
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. |
