Survey & Civil

Survey-Grade Data For Civil Teams

We capture accurate topography and site conditions from the air and deliver them in formats your surveyor or engineer of record can build on.

Topographic surveys, contours, and surface models

Cut/fill and earthwork volumes

Drainage and grading analysis

As-built documentation

CAD-ready and GIS-ready deliverables

We provide aerial data capture and mapping. Licensed surveying is performed by a registered professional where required.
