Services
Land Surveying
Our land surveying services provide precise boundary determination and mapping using GPS and robotic technologies. We specialize in ALTA/NSPS standards, fence location mapping, and lot line adjustments for residential and commercial properties. Our surveys support property transactions, construction projects, and legal dispute resolution across California.
Civil Engineering
We offer comprehensive civil engineering solutions from conceptual design to construction completion. Our services include grading plans, utility design, stormwater management, and SWPPP compliance for public and private sector projects. Our team ensures regulatory compliance and technical excellence in every development.
Expert Witness
Our licensed engineers and surveyors provide expert witness services for construction defect cases and boundary disputes. We offer forensic surveying, accident mapping, and technical testimony in deposition and trial settings. Our professionals translate complex technical issues into clear legal evidence.
Drone Mapping
We utilize FAA-certified drone technology for high-resolution aerial mapping and 3D modeling. Our UAS services support topographic surveys, construction monitoring, and volumetric calculations. This technology improves accuracy while reducing field time and project costs.
Bathymetric Surveys
Our bathymetric surveys map underwater terrain using sonar technology. These surveys support coastal engineering, reservoir management, and environmental assessments. We combine hydrographic data with GPS positioning to create detailed underwater topography models.
