Topographic Surveys

Capturing Critical Site Detail Through Precision Topos 

While a boundary survey stakes the outer perimeter, a topographic or ‘topo’ survey provides the intricate inner mapping essential for planning complex sites and structures. Using robotic total stations paired with data collectors and CAD software, our licensed surveyors can capture everything from subtle elevation changes to the locations of improvements, utilities, and natural features over an entire property or portion thereof.  

Whether you need grading plans prepared, are designing a new development, or simply want an accurate existing conditions map, a topo survey offers insight that takes a project from conceptual drawings to functional reality. Through our state-of-the-art surveying equipment and processes, customers receive a detail-rich CAD file and a scaled paper map showing:

– One-foot or half-foot elevation contours  

– Spot elevations at irregular areas

– Visible foundations, fence lines, roads, and other improvements

– Above and below-ground utility corridors

– Wooded areas, water features, drainage patterns

– Calculated cut/fill volumes for balanced site work

This level of topographical information proves invaluable for civil engineering of all types from drainage and grading to utility routing. It also benefits architectural design, permitting, project management, and more. Contact us to schedule your next topo survey and obtain the site intelligence critical to planning success.
