Accurate surveys are a required part of the successful, timely and safe completion of public and private sector engineering projects alike. Possessing a wide array of technological resources and knowledge, GAI’s surveying team is dedicated to providing our clients in real estate, energy, transportation, government and industry with surveying solutions that are continuously relied upon for being both comprehensive and precise. Licensed in Pennsylvania, Florida, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, New York, Maryland, Ohio, Texas and the District of Columbia, our team has the means and know-how to perform surveys ranging from ALTA and standard boundary to surveys customized per individual client or project.
Boundary surveys are developed for a wide range of uses. These include land title/ownership purposes, real estate financing, as-built delineations, insurance purposes, real estate appraisal and sales, encroachment delineation, boundary line dispute resolutions, subdivision plats, condominium plats and rezoning/variance purposes.
Boundary Survey Projects
Construction surveys can save valuable time and cost in the field. Surveys conducted on site during the initial stages of construction preparation are critical to establish location (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) placement of designed improvements. Our survey teams have saved our construction/ contracting clients thousands of dollars in potentially damaging lost time and litigation liability.
Construction Survey Projects
Design surveys provide the foundation upon which all design for manmade improvements must rely upon for development. Location of boundary lines, topography, site physical features (rock outcroppings, trees, etc...), as well as any on-site buildings, utilities, encroachments and easements are recorded. From this foundation design, plans can be effectively produced. The GAI surveying team has developed design surveys for all types of design assignments including bridges, highways, buildings (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional), utilities (electric power, gas, water, sewer, cable TV, phone) and transportation facilities (airports, railroad, truck and bus terminals).
Design Survey Projects
Control surveys employ a series of grid lines and points to accurately pinpoint physical features. The process consists of establishing horizontal and vertical control points to develop a series of independent triangulation measurements. This network is then verified and compared to develop reliable and accurate control grids.
Horizontal and Vertical Survey Projects
Aerial control surveys employ a series of techniques to define physical features. The utilization of aerial photography coupled with the translation of data collected via other surveys relevant to our clients’ specific project needs, enables us to provide figures that are both understandable and, if needed for public meetings and informative literature, presentable.
Aerial Control Survey Projects
GAI has the equipment and personnel to effectively locate and map underground utilities. This type of survey benefits transportation, real estate, government and energy projects, and provides for a safer working environment as well as a cost- and time-effective overall project.
Utility Survey Projects
Mapping a submerged terrain can be a difficult task to complete with the precision required for a successful project. GAI’s technological resources and personnel combine to provide innovative and comprehensive procedures to yield maps that are understandable and, above all, accurate.
Bathymetric Survey Projects
Combining aspects of boundary surveys, mortgage surveys and topographic surveys, and providing the intelligence to use additional surveying techniques and skills, GAI’s team offers comprehensive solutions to define and translate the information needed to successfully begin any real estate or land development project as well as projects in a number of other privately- and publicly-concerned sectors.
ALTA/Land Title Survey Projects
GAI has the trained staff, equipment, and experience to survey bridge structures, lake and river shore lines, ocean tide lines/elevations and wetland mitigation areas. Clients rely upon the correct and skilled implementation of these surveys for the benefit of the investment and the safety of those who may utilize the finished project.
Hydrographic Survey Projects
Topographic surveys incorporate ground run, aerial, tree, utility location, environmental/wetland, floodplain and hydrographic surveying and mapping. GAI uses state-of-the-art field equipment, electronic record recorders and computer mapping technology to produce accurate topographical mapping documents for use in design development, storm-water management and construction.
Topographic Survey Projects
GAI’s surveying team provides a wide range of specialized applications. These include archaeological, cultural/historical, legal determination and eminent domain technical services support. GAI can assemble an experienced, fully-equipped survey team to handle almost any survey project assignment. In addition to our field survey crews, our in-house mapping specialists use an extensive library of computerized mapping software including Terramodel, Arc-Info, GRASS, Microstation and AutoCAD. GAI has the experience, the assembled team and the organization for quick response. Our company is committed to satisfying each client’s individual survey needs.
