Boundary Survey: a survey to establish the boundaries of a parcel using its
legal description which typically involves the recovery or setting of monuments
or markers at the corners or along the lines of the parcel, often in the form
of iron rods, pipes, or concrete monuments in the ground, or nails set in concrete
or asphalt. In the past, wooden posts, blazes in trees, piled stone corners or
other types of monuments have also been used. A map or plat is then drafted from
the field data to provide a representation of the parcel surveyed. It should
bear a licensed land surveyor’s signed certification, and may include a metes
and bounds or other written description.
ALTA/ACSM Survey: this survey’s purpose is to supply the Title Company or lender
with data necessary for issuing extended title or mortgage insurance. A survey
standard jointly proposed by the American Land Title Association and the American
Congress on Survey and Mapping that incorporates elements of the boundary survey,
land title survey, and topographic survey. ALTA/ACSM surveys, frequently shortened
to ALTA surveys, are often required for real estate transactions.
Route Survey: this particular survey is a planned path of a linear project or
right of way which crosses an area of land, from a point of beginning, turning,
or termination at a point. This survey usually requires acquisition of fee or
easement property, boundary, topography, schematic layout sheets, and eventual
construction layout work with possible as-built.
Topographic Survey: a survey that measures the elevation of points on a particular
piece of land, and presents them as contour lines on a plot. This survey also
might provide existing utilities, roads, buildings, fences, etc…A topographic
survey is not intended as a boundary survey, although some boundaries may be
defined.
Site Plan: a proposal plan for a construction site that include all existing
and proposed conditions on a given site. The existing and proposed conditions
always include structures, utilities, roadways, topography, and wetlands delineation
and location if necessary. The plan might also, but not always, include hydrology,
drainage flows, endangered species habitat, FEMA Federal Flood Insurance Reference
Maps and traffic patterns.
Subdivision Plan: a plot or map based on a survey of a parcel of land. Boundary
lines are drawn inside the larger parcel to indicate the creation of new boundary
lines and roads. The number and location of plats, or the newly created parcels,
are usually discussed back and forth between the developer and the surveyor until
they are agreed upon. At this point monuments, usually in the form of iron rods
or pins, are set to mark the new boundary location.
As-Built Survey: a survey which is during or following new construction which
has taken place. The collection of data including parts, materials, fittings,
location: horizontal and vertical, slope, grade, cut/fill, etc… Examples include
but not limited to commercial construction, utilities, pipeline, residential,
roads, and drainage.
Well Location Staking and Unit Surveying: This consists of marking proposed
well locations in relation to survey or unit lines. Unit boundaries, individual
tracts in the unit, and the total unit acreage are shown on the survey. The plat
created will include all requirements of the governing body for drilling permits
to be submitted.
Seismic Surveying: Surveys are conducted stakeout and record survey grade x,
y and z locations for each point along source and receiver lines (the latitude
and longitude coordinates of which are pre-determined by the client) using Real
Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS systems. When a point is reached, this position will
be staked out and marked with the station number and line number.
Base Mapping: These maps may consist of, but are not limited to the following:
Leases and Unit Boundaries
Signed Lease Agreements
Well Head Positions
Permitted Well Positions
Agricultural Data
Seismic Survey Points
Existing Pipeline Routes
Digital Terrain Models
Ownership Information
Current Satellite Imagery
