Construction surveying, an ancient practice spanning many civilizations, enabled precise construction of great cities and monuments for thousands of years. Today’s construction surveys, far more precise than in the past, continue to ensure accurate and efficient project execution by providing essential site data and topographical information that guides all construction activities.
Our team of experienced professionals at UTRS Civil and Environmental Engineering (UTRS CEE) use a combination of surveys to achieve the most accurate and comprehensive results for our clients’ construction projects. Without proper surveying, projects risk significant errors, misalignments, and costly rework.
Our construction survey services include:
- Site Surveys
When performing site surveys, UTRS CEE assesses the construction location, documenting existing conditions including topography, vegetation, and structures to enable effective project layout planning. - Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys determine exact property lines to establish ownership, prevent neighbor disputes, and ensure your construction stays within property boundaries. - Staking Surveys
In a staking survey, UTRS CEE marks proposed structure locations, guiding construction teams in placing foundations, utilities, and other elements according to design plans. - Topographic Surveys
Our topographic surveys map land contours and features, providing elevation data crucial for drainage planning and landscape design for your project. - Control Surveys
A UTRS CEE control survey establishes horizontal and vertical reference points during pre-construction, allowing precise measurement of all subsequent markings relative to these coordinates. - Construction Layout Surveys
Our construction layout surveys creates detailed building and infrastructure placement plans to ensure correct positioning and alignment with design specifications. - Geotechnical Surveys
UTRS CEE engineers perform geotechnical surveys to assess soil and subsurface conditions, providing stability, composition, and groundwater data critical for your project’s foundation design. - As-Built Surveys
We provide as-built surveys that document completed construction to verify plan compliance and support your investment’s future maintenance and renovations.
Each type of survey has an essential role in planning and designing projects that are safe, environmentally sound, and compliant with regulations. Overall, UTRS CEE construction surveys serve as the foundational step in the construction process, ensuring that all subsequent work on your project is based on accurate and reliable data.
