Services
Boundary Surveys
We conduct comprehensive boundary surveys meeting SC Minimum Standards and ALTA/ACSM requirements. Our services include legal description preparation, courthouse title research, and physical boundary marking. Specializing in resolving property disputes through precise measurements and historical document analysis, we deliver accurate boundary determinations for residential, commercial, and industrial properties across three states.
Topographic Mapping
Our topographic surveys capture detailed elevation data and surface features using conventional, GPS, and photogrammetric methods. We produce precise digital terrain models for infrastructure planning, construction projects, and environmental assessments. All surveys comply with state-specific standards while maintaining compatibility with GIS systems for ongoing land management applications.
Subsurface Utility Detection
We specialize in subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services including horizontal and vertical utility location. Our team compiles record data, coordinates with local one-call systems, and performs field verification to create accurate utility maps. This critical information supports safe excavation planning and infrastructure development projects.
Environmental Assessments
Our environmental services include wetland delineation, groundwater monitoring well installation, and OCRM critical line inventory. We conduct field assessments and prepare documentation for regulatory compliance, supporting clients with environmental permitting and land development projects requiring ecological considerations.
Geodetic Control Surveys
We establish high-accuracy geodetic control networks using first, second, and third-order horizontal and vertical standards. These control systems support large-scale infrastructure projects, monitoring applications, and GIS integration. Our work ensures measurement consistency across extensive project areas and multiple data collection campaigns.
