Surveying is a science used by construction companies and land developers as well as city governments to get accurate information on property lines and the locations of existing facilities to ensure new construction and roads are built where they should be. Surveying contributes to the quality of life by providing the following services:
* Boundary Surveying
* Topographic Mapping
* Subdivision Platting
* Construction Layout
* Geodetic Control Surveying
* Route Surveys
* Engineering Design Surveys
* Utility Inventories
* As-Built Surveys
The project scope includes surveying services, right-of-way and utility coordination, preliminary and final design of roadway geometrics, permanent structural water quality and detention controls, urban storm sewer design, culvert analysis, storm water pollution prevention plans, construction sequencing, traffic control plans, and utility layouts.
All of these services are designed to provide for accurate construction locations. For example, subdivision platting is important to ensure that each lot is platted to the developer’s specifications. This will ensure that homes are built on the lot where they should be and not extended over to the next lot. The design of roadway geometrics is another assurance that the project will be completed where it is intended to be completed.
Surveying services are an important part of creating a life free of land and building complications caused by inaccurate measurements of land use and building design parameters which do not fit within the scope of the project. It would be impossible to do any construction and road building without a construction survey or any road building without route surveys like those performed by the Surveying Company in Austin.
Plotting the installation of utility services is also an essential part of surveying. Utilities are often installed underground but they need to be in the correct location to prevent destruction by construction equipment. Surveying will also find the location of existing underground utilities.
Community development is dependent upon several surveying projects. Many water management facilities are dependent on accurate surveying and design for the successful management of water. Water retention controls are designed by the surveyors who also do culvert analysis to determine water flow capability.
The quality of life from road route mapping to water control to accurate construction of city services is all part of the work of the Surveying Company in Austin.
