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.

What Are Environmental Surveys? | Corona, CA

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.

Topographic Surveying: A Guide | Corona, CA

topographic map

The topography of a space refers to the arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area. Conducting a survey on that area allows one to understand the existing conditions of a site, the contours, locations, and elevations of the space.

The Role it Plays

Conducting a topographic survey before starting any kind of change to the site is paramount to your ability to do so properly. Engineers, developers, architects, and telecommunication providers all rely on the information provided by a topographic survey to understand how they must proceed with any desired improvements you seek.

How Cal Vada can Help

When you work with the experienced professionals on the Cal Vada team, our surveyors will visit the site and employ the highest quality methods with the latest technology. Our team will establish the horizontal and vertical controls of the space, and locate all surface improvements such as curbs and gutters, as well as all other improvements that may exist on the site. In an open space, we will observe surface contours and underground pipe invert elevations for all drain inlets, storm drain manholes, and sewer manholes.

Once collected, this data is processed by our office staff to produce a high-quality AutoCAD Civil 3D image of the space. Exhibits are prepared in PDF format which provides a clean and precise vision of the site’s existing conditions.
