FEATURED SURVEYING PROJECTS

City of Columbia Survey
Project involved approximately 70,000 LF of surveying, locating the limits of the easement area boundary over selected gravity pipelines. The project consists of researching and gathering deeds of record for the horizontal location of the sanitary sewer force main easement boundary; field locate and monument the sanitary sewer force main easement boundary associated with designated force mains; and develop a plat showing location of monuments set to delineate the force main easement boundary.

Chapin Force Main Route Survey
Route, boundary, as-built and topographic surveying services were provided to the Town to aid in the design and construction of a new sanitary sewer force main line. This route covered over 3 miles along 3 different roads. More than 35 private easement maps were also prepared as part of this contract.

USC Innovista Proposed Phasing Plan Survey
As-built and topographic surveys for the University of South Carolina on multiple parcels in support of the planning, design, and construction of privatized student housing and parking development projects. The scope included the location of all existing improvements, trees, landscaping and utilities, and to prepare a formal report outlining zoning requirements and existing utility infrastructure to assist in the design phase and planning of these projects.

Savannah River Site Saltstone Disposal Unit Survey
Surveying services to aid in the construction of three 32,000,000 gallon low level nuclear waste storage tanks at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site. Services include: establishing and verifying site survey controls, drafting and calculation of staking points, plan verification, construction staking, as-built surveys, topographic surveys, and preparation of as-built plats for review by Savannah River Remediation. Work on the first of three SDU (Saltstone Disposal Unit) tanks is complete (SDU-7). Surveying, construction staking and layout for the second tank (SDU-8) began in June 2020, and work for the third tank (SDU-9) began in May 2021. Members of our survey crews were required to complete drug testing, safety and protocol testing, as well as Federal background checks in order to obtain security clearance for this project.

Ten Solar Sites, Community Energy Solar
Surveying services for ten (10) solar farm sites, including boundary, as-built, route and ALTA/NSPS surveys on ten individual parcels totaling over 1,280 acres in Calhoun County, South Carolina. Road and utility transmission line rights-of-way were identified in the preliminary phases of this project. Boundary, as-built, and ALTA/NSPS surveys were then performed on the lease portions of these parcels to aid in the design and development of a 72 megawatt solar farm.

Richland County Blythewood Boundary Survey
Performed ALTA boundary surveys on 20 individual tracts totaling over 1,350 acres in Blythewood, SC. Surveys were used as part of the planning and development of a new industrial park. Utilities, roadways, and improvements were mapped on all tracts. These boundary surveys were then consolidated into one master parcel for development purposes.

Greenville AEP ALTA/NSPS Survey, Mauldin S.C.
ALTA/NSPS boundary and tree survey on a 6.40 acre parcel to aid in the design and development of an assisted living facility near Mauldin, SC. Boundary and title documents were reviewed prior to the field survey to identify any existing easements on the property that could impact the site design. The boundary survey included the location of all improvements, utilities, roadways, and tree lines. This survey was tied to the SC State Plane Coordinate System through local geodetic monuments utilizing the latest GPS technology.
