Common Public Works Projects We Support

Public agency and infrastructure work has its own requirements — agency standards, traffic control, prevailing wage compliance, and procurement workflows. Here’s where we typically support project teams.

  • Engineering design surveys for PS&E sets
  • Roadway and corridor surveys for transportation projects
  • Construction staking for utilities, curb/gutter, and structures
  • As-built construction surveys for closeout documentation
  • Right-of-Way (ROW) and acquisition mapping
  • Control and geodetic networks for large-scale projects
  • Monument preservation, restoration, and centerline ties
  • Deformation and settlement monitoring on infrastructure assets
  • UAV and LiDAR data acquisition for corridors and complex sites

Our Public Works Survey Process

Step 1 — Scope and standards alignment

We confirm agency standards, CAD format, control requirements, deliverable schedule, and any procurement or compliance requirements with your team.

Step 2 — Records and control research

We review available record information, existing control, and prior surveys relevant to the project.

Step 3 — Field work

Our crew collects topographic, boundary, control, or staking data using integrated methods, with appropriate traffic control and safety protocols for the work environment.

Step 4 — Data processing & QA

Field data is processed, controlled, and quality-checked against agency requirements.

Step 5 — Delivery, coordination & follow-on

Deliverables are provided in agency-ready format, with documentation supporting review and inspection. We remain available for revisions, follow-on phases, and ongoing support across the project lifecycle.
