Other Survey Services

Chaparral Professional Land Surveying records the flow of water over the land surface (sheet flow), including the areas where water pools or percolates into the ground, and where water enters a stream, river, or lake using a topographic map as a starting point. The design of drainage systems and structures may also make advantage of erosion characteristics that have been recognized.

Chaparral Professional Land Surveying performs surveys to delineate the alignments and boundaries of required right-of-way for a variety of linear projects, including roadways, electric transmission lines, and water, wastewater, storm water, and product pipelines.

Chaparral Professional Land Surveying records measurements made in the field and related operations on every project in the form of drawings (plats or maps) that include any characteristics found there.

Using the project's initial design drawings as a starting point, we conduct surveys that enable us to make updates that take into account changes discovered during construction. These may be the consequence of change orders requested by the customer, construction-related component relocations, the rerouting of electrical or other distribution systems, or other reasons.

For the purpose of designing and constructing linear facilities, Chaparral Professional Land Surveying executes surveys and staking. It might be as easy as staking the four corners of a square or rectangular building, or it could be more difficult, like staking every cutout (change in angular direction) for a structure with a complicated design. Chaparral Professional Land Surveying will stake the beginning and ending locations of the facility, the length and breadth of the right-of-way, as well as each change of direction along the route, for linear projects.

In order to precisely identify the height and placement of permanent monuments to be used as benchmarks for other surveys, Chaparral Professional Land Surveying conducts such vertical and horizontal control surveys. These control networks assist us in developing a foundation for those other surveys and are crucial for precise mapping during the building of roads, tunnels, power lines, and other high-precision projects.

Chaparral Professional Land Surveying has completed projects for a number of cities and counties as well as for state agencies, all in accordance with the organization's legislative requirements, technical guides, and standard procedure. Subdivision platting is often require for site development.

After completing field measurements and related tasks for any project, Chaparral Professional Land Surveying records those measurements in text format, often as metes and bounds descriptions, in order to purchase public right-of-way, land for development, or various sorts of easements without further negotiation.
