Surveying

Services

The Survey Operations Group is responsible for establishing project-specific geodetic control, placement and survey of aerial photography ground control, and applications involving specialized field techniques or equipment, i.e. use of GPS receivers, high-accuracy leveling equipment and reflector-less measurement systems.

Survey Work
