Florida surveying
Topographic surveys in Florida
Map the elevation, contours, and features engineers design from.
Designing a building, a drainage plan, or a site improvement without accurate ground data leads to redesigns and field changes. Engineers and architects need the real grades, features, and utilities before they draw.
What is a topographic survey?
A topographic survey records the shape of the land and the features on it. ATHCA captures elevations, contours, and improvements with total stations, GNSS, and aerial methods, giving engineers and architects the base they need for design, drainage, and permitting.
When you need a topographic survey
What your topographic survey includes
Our topographic survey process
Control
We set survey control tied to the right vertical datum.
Data capture
We collect elevations and features on the ground and from the air as needed.
Drafting
We build the contour surface and feature linework.
Deliverables
You receive a CAD-ready topographic survey for design.
Topographic surveys across Southwest Florida
ATHCA’s topographic survey work is signed and sealed by a licensed Florida Professional Surveyor and Mapper, serving Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties as our home region and available statewide across Florida.
Flat ground and high water tables make grade and drainage critical in Southwest Florida, especially near the preserves and wetlands around Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, and the coastal communities. A topographic survey gives the design team the elevations and features they need to plan drainage that works.
