Services
Land Survey
Our licensed land surveyors utilize traditional and modern techniques including UAS drones for topographic surveys, construction staking, and as-built documentation. Clients benefit from FAA-certified pilots and mapping experts who ensure regulatory compliance and millimeter-level accuracy. This service supports infrastructure development, property boundary determination, and engineering projects across diverse terrains.
GIS
From basic mapping to complex geodatabase design, our GIS specialists transform spatial data into actionable insights. We offer data conversion, 3D modeling, and web-based mapping solutions that help clients visualize infrastructure networks, environmental patterns, and urban planning scenarios. Our FME/ETL workflows ensure seamless integration with existing systems and regulatory reporting requirements.
LiDAR
We deploy airborne, mobile, and terrestrial LiDAR systems to create high-resolution topographic models for engineering and environmental applications. Our experts perform feature extraction, vegetation analysis, and hydrologic modeling that support pipeline safety assessments, wildfire mitigation planning, and infrastructure asset management with sub-centimeter precision.
Utility Locating
Using ground-penetrating radar and radio locators, we identify underground utilities with industry-leading accuracy. Our S.U.E. engineering support includes conflict mapping, CCTV inspections, and 811 mark-out verification that prevent costly construction delays. Clients receive integrated survey data showing both surface and subsurface infrastructure in a single deliverable.
