​Engineering surveys are often the best way to develop a comprehensive plan for a particular project, especially considering the complexity of some landscapes.

​

Our topographic surveys can help assess various components of a project, including volume, topography, property boundaries, and other critical factors. No matter what type of engineering survey your project requires, our team of land surveyors have the experience you need to get your project started on the right foot. We have the expertise to provide these services for commercial as well as for residential projects.

​

Below, let’s explore the various engineering survey services we offer to our clients at Apex Land Surveying and Mapping LLC.

​

Topographic Exhibit

​

• A map that provides graphic elevation and topographic data through the use of contour lines

• Much more in-depth than a traditional boundary survey

• Displays hills, streams, rocks, drainage patterns, and other critical features

• Displays structures and other improvements

• Utilized by engineers, builders, and architects to aid the design process

• Contour lines can be custom set to specific intervals

• Useful for helping determine new structure location, natural feature removal, and other critical components of the construction process

​

Site Plan
 

• A site plan provides a straightforward outline of a prospective construction site.

• In many cases, a city or local authority may request this type of plan, along with additional subdivision resources.

• The plan also includes easements and other critical elements of the property.
   

Volume

​

• An initial topographic survey is performed to find the volume of a site and to gain necessary data on elevation.

• Surface data points are then determined based on information provided from the topographic survey.

• Our team then calculates the volume.
   

Control
 

• Develops survey controls that can be utilized throughout a project

• Very popular on large construction projects

• Also very popular with subdivision projects

• May also set control standards for a city or local authority
   

Aerial Mapping
 

• Used to efficiently map both horizontal and vertical features of a parcel of land

• Often utilized for large areas

• Determines the correct vertical and horizontal controls before producing the aerial photos

• Aerial targets positioned on different parts of the parcel of land

• Additional data or information is often provided to the surveyor for incorporation. Items such as fire hydrants or other artificial elements can be included even if they’re not in the aerial photos.

• In some instances, critical components of the map may be distorted by items such as trees or bushes.

• In the case that an aerial map is not detailed, we can offer additional resources that provide the necessary match points.
   

Right of Way Acquisition Map
 

• Displays a prospective corridor or right-of-way

• Determines the current owner of the property
