Surveying & Mapping

Surveying is the foundation of successful land development and construction projects. Our surveying services utilize state-of-the-art GNSS/GPS and robotic surveying equipment and techniques to accurately measure and map land features, boundaries, improvements, and topography. From land surveys and boundary determinations to LiDAR data acquisition and geospatial analysis, our team of surveyors provides essential data and insights for informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. We strive for precision, reliability, and efficiency in every surveying endeavor, ensuring our clients have the information they need to succeed.


Ballard holds the designation of a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) at both the federal and state levels.

WHAT WE OFFER

Topographic & Planimetric
Our topographic surveying services involve the precise measurement and mapping of land features, elevations, and contours to provide detailed information for site planning, development, and engineering projects.
Route & Alignment
With route and alignment surveying, we provide accurate data and analysis to support the design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, including roads, power lines, pipelines, and utilities.
Boundary
Our boundary surveying services focus on determining and defining property boundaries, resolving disputes, and providing legal documentation to ensure clarity and compliance with property ownership rights and land use regulations.
Aerial LiDAR
Our UAV LiDAR Scanning System allows our team to capture the physically and topographic feature of the Earth’s surface. From this data, our team can create diverse point cloud data sets and high resolution aerial imagery.
Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning
Terrestrial LiDAR Scanning is used to capture detailed 3-dimensional data acquisition of objects and features. Point cloud are produced to develop precise measurements of objects and physical features to aid in analysis and design.
GIS
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer-based system or service that creates, manages, analyzes, maps, and displays geographically referenced information and data that is attached to a unique location.
Residential & Commercial Subdivisions
Our subdivision surveying services provide precise planning and layout to ensure efficient, compliant, and well-organized development projects.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
We offer ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys that deliver comprehensive and detailed information necessary for commercial real estate transactions, ensuring compliance with national standards.
FEMA Elevation Certificates
Our FEMA Elevation Certificates service involves accurately documenting the elevation of properties to assist in floodplain management, insurance, and compliance with FEMA regulations.
Letter of Map Changes (LOMC, LOMA, LOMR-F)
Our team assists clients in obtaining Letters of Map Changes, including LOMA and LOMR-F, to update FEMA flood maps and potentially reduce flood insurance requirements by demonstrating changes in floodplain status.
Construction Layout
We perform construction layout surveying to accurately translate design plans into physical markers on the ground. This ensures that every project begins with a precise and reliable foundation for successful construction.
