GAI Consultants, Inc.’s full range of surveying services meet the land documentation needs of public and private land owners, developers, and government agencies. By providing accurate and quality survey data, GAI’s seasoned teams save owners, contractors, and other clients thousands of dollars in lost time and litigation liability.
Our surveyors precisely map existing plans and planting sites, delineate construction staking, and provide data for fill material calculations. GAI’s survey teams’ specialized surveys include archaeological, cultural/historical, utility location, legal determination, and eminent domain service support. We invest in state-of-the-art field equipment, electronic recorders, and computer mapping technology to produce accurate topographical mapping documents for design development, stormwater management, and construction.
We are licensed in Pennsylvania, Florida, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, New York, Nevada, Maryland, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia. Our team has the means and know-how to perform surveys ranging from ALTA and standard boundary to individual client- and project-customized surveys.
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. GAI's Survey Group has saved our construction and contracting clients thousands of dollars in both potentially damaging lost time and litigation liability.
Construction Survey Projects
Design surveys provide the foundation upon which all design for manmade development improvements must rely. Location of boundary lines, topography, site physical features, as well as any on-site buildings, utilities, encroachments, and easements are recorded. From this foundation design, plans can be effectively produced, and land development can proceed. GAI's Surveying Group has developed design surveys for all types of design assignments including bridges, highways, structures (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional), utilities, and transportation facilities.
Design Survey Projects
Employing a series of grid lines and points, control surveys 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's well-equipped teams effectively locate and map underground utilities. This type of survey benefits transportation, real estate, government, and energy projects, and provides for both a cost-effective project and a safer working environment.
Energy and Utility Survey Projects
The mapping a submerged terrain can be a difficult task to complete with the precision required to esnure project success. 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.
Bathymetric/Hydrographic Survey Projects
GAI's team combines aspects of boundary, mortgage, and topographic surveys, and provides the intelligence to use additional surveying techniques and skills. In doing so, we offer comprehensive solutions that define and translate the information needed to successfully begin any real estate or land development project, as well as projects in numerous other privately- and publicly-concerned sectors.
ALTA/Land Title 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, stormwater 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 capably assembles 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.
