Services
Land Surveying
Our land surveying services provide precise boundary determination and topographic mapping for property acquisition and development. Using GNSS systems and traditional methods, we deliver accurate spatial data for legal documentation and construction planning. Clients benefit from our 30+ years of experience in resolving complex boundary disputes and supporting infrastructure projects.
3D Laser Scanning
We offer high-resolution 3D laser scanning for detailed documentation of structures and natural features. Our NavVis VLX system captures millions of data points to create precise digital twins for engineering and architectural applications. This technology enhances traditional surveying methods while reducing field time and improving data accuracy for complex projects.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Our FAA-certified drone pilots conduct aerial photogrammetry missions to collect topographic data for large-scale projects. UAV technology provides cost-effective site mapping and progress monitoring for construction and infrastructure developments. We integrate aerial data with ground-based surveys to ensure comprehensive spatial analysis.
