The Role of Boundary Surveys | Corona, CA

Boundary surveys are taken to locate and mark the boundaries of a given property. It allows the property owner an opportunity to identify encroachments, ensure things like fences or walls are properly located and have a record of their property for future reference.

When you work with the experienced professionals at Calvada to perform your boundary survey, we begin by acquiring all the preliminary information available so we may research, review, and perform pre-calculations. A field crew will then search for existing monuments in the surrounding area and conduct survey measurements.

Once this data has been gathered, we analyze the field data and records to determine the perimeters of the boundary. Upon determination, our field crew heads out to set the property corners and prepare a Record of Survey for the client. This process provides the client with a detailed understanding of the in-ground monuments at the property corners, and the county surveyor with an official copy of the Record of Survey.

We provide our clients with the peace of mind that comes with industry-leading professionals conducting the highest-quality boundary surveys possible.

High-definition LiDAR mapping is utilized by a variety of disciplines offering improved worker safety, higher accuracy of survey data, and rapid project turnaround. LiDAR mapping and high-definition surveys are terrestrial non-intrusive means of collecting accurate and detailed as-built data, benefitting individuals in the planning, engineering, and construction fields.

LiDAR utilizes the latest cutting-edge scanning technology to sweep across a target object as hundreds of thousands of measurements are taken, displaying an intense representation of the target result. Once captured, these results can be evaluated much like a physical 3D model. This method is revolutionizing the industry, and is doing so more quickly, and at a lower cost than traditional surveying techniques. It also enhances surveyor safety for those working on projects in which data is needed along heavily trafficked highways.

Our team of experienced professionals utilizes the most advanced scanning technology, providing our clients with the data they need in a way that also saves them valuable time and money as they move through their process.

Environmental surveys can encompass groundwater sampling, a crucial component to
understand when considering the potential use of a given area. Well surveying is implemented to understand the direction and gradient of groundwater flow. The state of California is interested in understanding the potential impact and monitoring the present impact of actions previously taken, on the groundwater quality throughout the state.
In order to conduct a thorough environmental survey, the wells and/or borings are surveyed for their horizontal and vertical locations.

Our experienced team of professionals will evaluate the vertical elevations at the top of the monitoring well vault, the top of the well casing or surrounding port, and the ground surface. Horizontal locations are measured at the center points.

This information can be uploaded to GeoTracker, the state’s Water Board GIS data system.
This system contains records for known cleanup sites and Department of Defense sites, as well as unregulated projects such as irrigated lands, oil and gas production, operating permitted USTs and land disposal sites.
