Topographical And Land Surveys
Topographical and Land Surveys
When performing a land survey, EMC gathers all features using our ground-based LiDAR systems, RTK GPS and/or automated Total Station systems. The types of surveys performed include ground-based LiDAR, first, second and third order horizontal and vertical control surveys, and automated (Total Station / Data Collector) GPS topographic surveys. We have performed plan and specification surveys and site condition surveys in support of design and construction for many government and private entities. All standard land surveys are performed with Trimble R8 GNSS and/or Topcon one-second total stations with data collectors to provide our clients with an efficiently produced, professional product. EMC maintains the latest versions of related software packages to ensure that all data gathered for our clients can be presented to them in a format compatible with their preferred software.
CONTROLLING POSITIONS WITH GPS CONTROL SURVEYS
EMC, Inc. has all of the hardware, software and experienced personnel necessary to develop small- or large- scale GPS control surveys. We have performed numerous control surveys over the past twenty-five years, from blue book GPS control surveys with up to 200+ benchmarks to local control surveys establishing horizontal and vertical control for a job site. EMC utilizes the latest in hardware and software to collect and process static GPS data.
INSTANT RESULTS WITH REAL TIME KINEMATIC (RTK)
EMC utilizes RTK Systems from Trimble Navigation with GNSS (GLONASS) and VRS (Virtual Reference Station) capabilities. These receivers incorporate a GPS antenna, receiver, internal radio with a transmit option or an internal GSM module, and a battery in a light weight unit suited for an all on the pole rover. Each of these compact and highly mobile systems use Real Time Kinematic (RTK), UHF Radio Telemetry System and blue tooth compatible hand-held data collectors. These systems allow the ability to track L1/L2, L2C and L5 signals. Combining these systems with one of our second total stations allows our survey team to work freely throughout suitable sites regardless of the line of site and gather centimeter accuracy xyz data in the data collector in real time. Our systems combined with either standard vehicles, all-terrain vehicles or hydrographic vessels can provide a fast and accurate method of surveying any project area.
BOUNDARY SURVEYS - POINTS THAT REALLY MATTER
EMC has performed cadastral/boundary and ALTA/ACSM surveys throughout the U.S. Having the experience and knowledge of record researching, analytical thinking and applying physical evidence gained in the field are why both government and private agencies turn to EMC for their cadastral/boundary surveying services. Our services include, but are not limited to: easement, property, section retracements, Right-of-Way (ROW), title (ALTA/ACSM) and subdivision layout & re-staking surveys. EMC maintains a qualified staff of licensed professional surveyors for project oversight and guidance when performing boundary surveys.
