Environmental surveys play a crucial role in safeguarding our natural resources, particularly when it comes to monitoring groundwater quality and flow. Groundwater sampling and well surveying are integral components of these surveys, serving distinct yet complementary purposes in environmental assessment and management.

In this day and age, it is important that we do everything we can to create a more sustainable way of living on this planet. This being said, when designing or constructing a building, a bridge, a water pipeline or any infrastructure asset, it is important to get a land survey to find out if what you’d like to develop is actually feasible.
A land survey is generally required when designing or constructing structures such as buildings, roads, parking lots, utility corridors, or athletic fields, etc. Why? Because these surveys can give detailed account of horizontal and vertical dimensions and elevations of the structure in question, and also show above ground attributes such as utilities, access roads, parking spaces, fences, etc. More specifically, land survey deliverables for the Environmental Industry include:

Besides surveying land for property owners and developers, surveyors also may do construction surveying. This is helpful in the planning of roads and buildings since the slope and grade of the land can affect the level of difficulty — or even possibility — of some construction projects. They also take into account any underground portions of the project that might be influenced by the geography of the property, such as the type of soil or presence of bedrock or streams.

Forensic. Forensic surveyors work in tandem with the legal system. Using their particular skills and techniques, they can help reconstruct a crime or accident scene. They can also provide critical information relative to storm damage and evaluate the potential threat of environmental factors. These professionals provide reports to law enforcement, insurance companies, government agencies, or other involved agents.
Hydrographic. A hydrographic surveyor surveys land in and around bodies of water. This includes mapping coastlines, riverbeds, and sea floors. This information is helpful to the Navy and other seamen, but also to developers planning waterfront projects or governmental bodies that are building bridges or other structures near the shore. In the case of bridges especially, the makeup of the land under the water can be critical (i.e., whether it is sand, clay, mud, etc.) These surveyors measure water depth, mark the patterns of erosion and assess navigational risks as well.
Environmental. Environmental surveyors map undeveloped land, often pinpointing areas populated by an endangered species. They may also survey areas contaminated with hazardous materials or those affected by storm, flood or fire damage.
