Services
Land Surveying
Our licensed professional land surveyors deliver precise boundary determinations and topographic mapping using robotic total stations and GPS technology. We provide ALTA/ACSM surveys, construction staking, and right-of-way documentation for infrastructure projects. Our team maintains continuous communication with clients to ensure all project requirements are met.
3D Laser Scanning
We utilize 3D laser scanning to capture detailed as-built documentation with sub-inch accuracy. This technology enables volumetric analysis, structural monitoring, and BIM integration while minimizing field time. Our point cloud data supports mechanical, electrical, and plumbing system documentation for complex facilities.
Subsurface Utility Markouts
Using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic scopes, we locate and map underground utilities without surface disruption. Our technicians identify electric, gas, sewer, and fiber optic lines to provide comprehensive site information for construction planning and safety compliance.
Aerial Mapping
Our photogrammetric mapping division employs drones and manned aircraft to create orthophotos, digital terrain models, and floodplain profiles. This technology provides cost-effective site analysis for GIS programs and large-scale infrastructure projects while maintaining high geometric accuracy.
Photogrammetry
We combine traditional surveying with photogrammetric techniques to produce detailed site documentation. Our stereo compilation and aerotriangulation capabilities support base mapping for transportation projects and environmental assessments across the Northeast region.
