GPS Services
Our real-time GPS surveys establish precise horizontal and vertical control for large-scale mapping projects. By integrating with INDOT base stations, we achieve centimeter-level accuracy in seconds, reducing field time and costs while ensuring compatibility with national spatial reference systems. This technology supports efficient data exchange with other mapping agencies and eliminates overlaps or gaps in your project database.
ALTA/ACSM Survey
We conduct ALTA/ACSM surveys to meet strict American Land Title Association standards for commercial property transactions. Our process includes comprehensive deed research, utility record reviews, and precise field measurements using GPS and total stations. Final deliverables include detailed plats showing property lines, easements, and encroachments, verified through double-checked Carlson CAD mapping software.
Boundary Survey
Our boundary surveys determine legal property lines and identify easements or encroachments. Field crews place iron pin monuments with fluorescent caps at corners, while technicians map improvements and water boundaries. We assist with land partition feasibility studies, zoning ordinance compliance, and preparation of legal descriptions for new parcels requiring local government approvals.
Construction Staking
We provide precise construction staking for residential homes, industrial buildings, and infrastructure projects. Our surveyors interpret design plans to mark exact improvement locations, ensuring compliance with engineering specifications. This service supports accurate placement of roads, utilities, and structures, maintaining project timelines and minimizing costly rework during development.
Topographic Survey
Our topographic surveys capture elevation data and physical features like buildings, roads, and drainage patterns. Using total stations and GPS receivers, we create contour maps and digital terrain models. Field data is converted to AutoCAD-compatible formats with symbolic representations of utilities and structures, providing accurate base maps for construction planning and site analysis.
