Topographic Surveying
What is a Topographic Survey?
A topographic survey is a detailed mapping of land features, elevations, and structures on a property. It provides critical information for engineers, architects, land developers, and solar specialists to plan construction, site improvements, and infrastructure projects. Unlike a standard boundary survey, a topographic survey captures natural and man-made features, including:
-
Elevation changes & contour lines
-
Buildings, roads, and structures
-
Drainage patterns & flood zones
-
Trees, utilities, and easements
When is a Topographic Survey Needed?
New Construction
-
Establishing a foundation for homes, commercial buildings, or solar panel arrays.
Site Planning & Design
-
Ensuring proper grading, drainage, and landscaping before breaking ground.
Building Permits
-
Meeting local jurisdiction requirements for site development approvals.
Solar Installations
-
Optimizing panel placement for maximum efficiency and site suitability.v
Topographic surveys are essential when planning:
We specialize in working with solar energy firms to map land conditions for large-scale solar farms and rooftop installations. Our team ensures precise data collection, helping solar engineers design efficient and compliant renewable energy systems.
