Land Surveying & Mapping

Every civil engineering and construction project depends on accurate, reliable survey data from the start. Precise boundary determination, topographic mapping, and right-of-way definition give your design and construction teams the foundation they need to move forward with confidence — and the defensible documentation required by agencies and regulators.

DLZ’s land surveying teams serve transportation, municipal, site development, and utility projects across the country, performing all work in accordance with applicable state standards and project requirements. We combine modern survey technologies with proven field procedures, and coordinate closely between field and office staff to maintain data consistency from collection through final deliverables — producing survey data tailored to the specific needs of designers, agencies, and contractors.

Featured Capabilities

ALTA Land Surveying

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

Real estate transactions, financing, and development projects all depend on clear, defensible documentation of what a property includes and where its boundaries lie. DLZ prepares ALTA/NSPS land title surveys in accordance with current standards, giving clients, lenders, and legal teams the precise, reliable information they need to move forward with confidence.

Boundary Surveying

Uncertainty about property boundaries can stall projects, trigger disputes, and create costly delays. DLZ combines thorough record research, careful field analysis, and knowledge of applicable state standards to produce defensible determinations that hold up under scrutiny and support transactions, acquisitions, and development planning.

Topographic Surveying and Mapping

Topographic Surveying & Mapping

Good design starts with an accurate picture of existing conditions. DLZ produces detailed topographic maps of ground features, utilities, and terrain that give engineers the reliable baseline data they need for design, drainage analysis, and quantity calculations across transportation, municipal, and site development projects.

Right-of-Way and Easement

Right-of-Way & Easement Surveying

Property acquisition is one of the most time- and legally sensitive phases of any transportation or utility project. DLZ prepares the legal descriptions and exhibits agencies need to move acquisition forward accurately and efficiently, reducing delays and keeping project schedules on track.

Asset Monitoring Gavin Ash Pond Monitoring

Asset Monitoring

Infrastructure that shifts, settles, or moves over time can create serious safety and operational risks if changes go undetected. DLZ designs and implements structured monitoring programs that track movement and settlement using traditional surveying, GNSS control, and advanced technologies including static LiDAR, UAS, and automated data collection — giving project teams the early warning they need to act before small changes become big problems.
