Protecting Your Investment
Whether you’re a project owner, contractor, superintendent or person-in-charge, Arizona Surveying understands what’s at stake and how important your construction project is to you. That’s why we don’t just pound stakes in the ground but apply quality control during every step of the layout process. We have an investment too–our reputation.
Surveyors are one of the last lines of defense between plans on paper and concrete/material in the ground. During the calculation and staking process, we take seriously the opportunity to identify any errors, discrepancies or areas of confusion so we can help mitigate them before they are translated through construction and become expensive issues.
We also know that good working relationships alone can often solve problems. We are well-versed in the art and language of construction site communication and work well with contractors, superintendents, foremen and laborers from every discipline.
Accuracy and precision matter. We utilize state-of-the-art calculation/layout techniques and land surveying technology including robotics and GPS. A Registered Land Surveyor is in responsible charge of every project and often is the person putting your stakes in the ground. From decades of working in every type of construction environment we are experienced and trained in construction site safety and are fully bonded and insured.
Earthwork
The key to a successful earthwork and site grading operation is moving dirt and material efficiently and on schedule. We try to be a part of that efficiency by identifying opportunities to place stakes and grades where they matter most. We work closely with superintendents, grade-checkers and operators to make sure they have the information and staking needed to ensure smooth, efficient and timely grading operations. We have calculated and staked all manner of earthwork and grading including site clearing limits, rough grading and excavation, vertical control, building pads, road grading, drainage and detention, fine grading and finish grading.
Engineering
Accurately translating engineering designs to the ground is the foundation of successful sitework. This is the job of the surveyor and one we take very seriously. From initial plan inspections and calculations through actual staking and cut sheet production, we filter everything through a series of checks meant to catch and reduce errors. We’ve staked virtually every type of engineering improvement including site grading, site drainage and drainage structures, underground utilities, sanitary sewer, water, reclaimed water, storm drain systems and more.
Buildings and Structural Elements
There is little or no room for error when staking expensive buildings and other structural elements. We know this and therefore apply our highest level of accuracy and system of checks when staking assets such as bridges, office buildings, hotels, hospitals, houses, townhomes and any other high-value structure.
