GPS Services
Our GPS surveying establishes horizontal and vertical control for large-scale mapping projects using real-time receivers. Data integrates with the National Spatial Reference System, enabling centimeter accuracy through INDOT base stations. This technology reduces field time by 40-60% compared to conventional methods while maintaining compliance with municipal mapping standards.
ALTA/ACSM Survey
We conduct ALTA/ACSM surveys meeting American Land Title Association specifications for commercial property transactions. Our process includes deed research, utility record reviews, and precise field measurements using total stations. Deliverables include detailed plats showing property lines, easements, and encroachments, typically completed within 5-7 business days.
Boundary Survey
Our boundary surveys determine legal property limits using historical records and modern equipment. Field crews place iron pin monuments with fluorescent caps at corners, while technicians map improvements and easements. We provide legal descriptions and assist with parcel subdivision approvals from local authorities.
Construction Staking
We translate design plans into physical markers for residential and commercial developments. Our staking guides foundations, roads, and utilities using GPS and total stations. Projects range from single-family homes to industrial complexes, with accuracy maintained to within 0.02 feet of design specifications.
Topographic Survey
Our topographic surveys capture elevation data and surface features using robotic total stations. Deliverables include contour maps showing drainage patterns, buildings, and utilities at 1-foot intervals. Data supports site planning and is provided in AutoCAD format with optional PDF delivery within 3 business days.
