Services
Field Locating
Our field locating services utilize GPS, robotic, and conventional equipment to deliver precise boundary determinations, topographic surveys, and utility mapping. We support ALTA/ACSM standards and infrastructure projects across multiple sectors. Our technicians ensure accurate data collection for both private and public works.
Construction Staking
We provide construction staking for commercial, residential, and municipal projects using advanced robotic and GPS technology. Our crews handle roadway layouts, building foundations, and utility installations. With four robotic crews and dedicated GPS support, we maintain tight tolerances for complex developments.
Deed Research
Our deed research process involves comprehensive analysis of historical records to establish property boundaries and easement rights. Licensed surveyors supervise technicians who digitize findings into AutoCAD for field implementation. This ensures legal compliance for land transactions and development plans.
Mapping Services
We create detailed topographic maps using NC State Plane Coordinate System standards. Our team produces ALTA/ACSM due diligence surveys, floodway analyses, and subdivision plats. Professional engineers and surveyors verify all mapping data for regulatory submissions and engineering design.
Project Control
We establish horizontal and vertical control networks using Topcon HiPer GPS systems. This foundational work orients all project surveys to state coordinate systems. Our control networks support aerial photogrammetry and large-scale infrastructure projects with repeatable accuracy.
