Here is a list of services that Fort Worth Surveying provides:
BOUNDARY SURVEYING
The purpose of a boundary survey is to determine the exact scope and task required. This may range from retracement of a hundred year old patent granted by the state to surveying a recently recorded subdivision area.
Minimum task include abstracting and research of past and present property records, adjoined property research, and thorough inspection and search for historical property monuments. We develop abstracts of each property our firm surveys. Our surveying field crews, under the direction of the RPLS, conduct on-the-ground surveying of the property features. A surveying map is then prepared utilizing the data from the abstract and the on-the-ground survey.
TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYING
We provide topographic surveying, indicating the grade, slope and terrain features of the project for land platting, engineering and design purposes. We use several methods to prepare topographic surveys including:
- Grid Topography
- Total Station and Computer-Aided Design and Drafting
- GPS
- Aerial Topography
Each method provides particular benefits and advantages for certain projects. Prior to commencing a topographic survey, accuracy requirements and property characteristics are considered to determine which surveying method would be best.
Our total station and GPS units are input devices for our CADD systems, enabling direct digital mapping of topographic surveys and computer analysis of contours, slopes and quantities.
