Services
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineering team specializes in site development, infrastructure design, and regulatory compliance for municipal and private projects. We provide drainage solutions, subdivision plats, and utilities planning, ensuring alignment with local permitting requirements. With decades of experience, we deliver cost-effective designs that minimize construction risks and delays.
Land Surveying
We conduct precise land title and boundary surveys to resolve disputes and support property transactions. Our services include topographic mapping, right-of-way analysis, and expert legal testimony on land ownership issues. Advanced GPS technology ensures accuracy for both small-scale and large industrial projects.
Hydrographic Surveying
Specializing in underwater mapping, we assess riverbeds, ponds, and floodplains to support dredging and flood control projects. Using specialized vessels and sonar technology, we generate detailed volume calculations and flowline data for water management initiatives in Texas waterways.
Aerial Mapping
Our aerial mapping division creates high-resolution topographic maps using stereo photography and GPS data. This technology supports highway planning, land development, and environmental assessments with scalable outputs ranging from 1:30 to 1:1000 scales.
Ortho Imaging
We produce geometrically corrected ortho images for engineering and GIS applications. By eliminating distortions through digital terrain models, our team provides accurate base maps for infrastructure planning and land management across Harris County and surrounding areas.
