Land Surveying
Our registered land surveyors employ cutting-edge technology for highly detailed surveys, supporting all civil disciplines. While the fundamental principles of measurement and mapping have remained constant for centuries, the evolution of new technology has empowered surveyors to collect and report data with unprecedented speed and accuracy.Kirkham Michael Surveyors are at the forefront of the latest technology and are using the newest technology to our client’s advantage every day. The survey team’s investments in unmanned aviation vehicles can interpret field shapes by collecting point clouds and creating 3D digital terrain models. This technology provides precise data for design services. Additionally, we utilize geographic information systems and software to capture and analyze existing data on land parcels, producing maps for project areas. These maps serve as essential tools for designers and engineers, enabling them to conduct drainage analysis, define elevations, and plan infrastructure projects with precision.
