Engineering and surveying are not just a business to us. It is in our blood, stretching back three generations to 1943 when Chester and Helen Bamforth started their land surveying business in coastal Virginia. In 1977, their son, C. Allan Bamforth, Jr. and his wife Linda founded what is now Bamforth Engineers + Surveyors. Today the firm of about twenty employees is managed by their daughter, Anna Lee Bamforth, and is designated as a small, women-owned business. Our family values play a large role in our work experience with our clients and other professionals.
Strict Anti-Terrorism Force Protection (ATFP) written guidelines were developed to help keep our nation's military and civilian employees safe while performing their duties. Bamforth adheres to these guidelines and designs each site for the safe placement of protective features around new or refurbished facilities. Bamforth has also designed several upgraded entrance gates at regional military installations, medical facilities and Veterans Administration facilities.
Bamforth's staff of four licensed surveyors provides elevation certificates, boundaries, monument establishment, survey-grade GIS location of structures and facilities, and both foreign and domestic topographic surveys. Our wide array of equipment includes GPS, survey-grade GIS, in addition to conventional surveying equipment and techniques.
