Land Development
Individual and corporate land
development clients utilize vast LJA
resources to perform a variety of
surveys for tracts of land ranging in
size from less than one acre to over
a thousand acres, as well as
topographic surveys for
environmental impact assessments,
drainage studies, highway design
and construction, airport runway
layouts, telecommunication sites,
and other industrial and commercial
projects. Our survey experience also
includes cemetery platting,
environmental surveys, and
construction layout and staking.
Transportation
Location of utility rights-of-way and
easements, and location and
acquisition of highway rights-of-
way, as well as topographic design
and construction surveying, are key
points of this division. Topographic
surveys for engineering design,
digital terrain modeling of bridges
and overpasses, and establishing
precise vertical/horizontal control
for aerial mapping are handled
under this division. With the
addition of laser scanning
technology, crews can safety collect
data of busy roadways and
intersections, and clearances for
bridges and roadways can be
accurately mapped. We offer many
alternative options for large scale
projects to help reduce project cost
and scheduling including aerial
photogrammetry, aerial LiDAR
mapping, mobile 3D laser mapping,
and terrestrial 3D laser scanning.
