 Land Surveying

  • Geodetic Surveys – Surveys, which establish control networks on a mathematical datum so that measurements will reflect the curved (ellipsoidal) shape of the earth.
  • Land Surveys – Surveys, which include retracement of existing land ownership boundaries or the creation of new boundaries.
  • Engineering Surveys – Surveys performed for the location, design, construction, maintenance and operation of engineering projects.
  • Construction Surveys – Surveys, which establish stakes in the ground, and other like reference points, at known horizontal and vertical positions to define location and size of each component of the facility to be constructed, enable inspection of contract items, and serve as a basis of payment for work.
  • Cartographic Surveys – Map making from original surveys.

In addition to the Geotechnical Testing services, our facilities in Mississauga Ontario, Surrey BC and Calgary & Nisku AB provide various lab based destructive testing on metallic and non-metallic materials as per national, international codes, standards and specifications. Our in-house state of the art machine shops provide quick and accurate specimen preparation for all laboratory tests. Our technical libraries contain an extensive collection of materials standards, both current and historical, for evaluating test results.
