Tri County Surveying was founded in 1971 by Edmund Farkas after he obtained his professional surveyor's license. Prior to obtaining his license, Mr. Farkas worked as a party chief on pipeline projects throughout the country. With his knowledge of pipeline surveying, Mr. Farkas diversified his operations and was awarded contracts from various large pipeline companies. In 1985, the company's name was changed to Trico Surveying and Mapping to reflect the nationwide scope of its business. In 2005 Mr. Farkas' son, Dennis Farkas, began serving as president.

While Trico focuses primarily on pipeline surveys throughout the United States, we are licensed and available for many other types of surveys. Trico locates all existing features such as buildings, improvements, fences, trees, streams, elevations, etc. A detailed plan is provided showing all existing structures and contour elevations presentable to field personnel, developers, contractors, etc. Incorporating both boundary survey and topographic survey, this site plan is used for easier planning of future improvements or development.

What's new?

Our office will be closed this morning (September 9th) until around mid-afternoon due to a scheduled power outage for electrical work.
