GPS

Baskerville-Donovan was one of the pioneering firms in the southeast to implement GPS (Global Positioning System) technology in the regular execution of surveys. As GPS technology has evolved over the years, our surveyors have continued to remain at the forefront of this important area of our service. Our industry position at the cutting edge of surveying and mapping technology - ensures that we are well-prepared to provide our customers with the most accurate and cost effective products and services in the industry today.


Boundary & Topographic Surveys

For traditional boundary and topographic surveying projects, BDI Survey Crews utilize the latest in Total Station, Data Collection, Data Processing and CAD technology. Our field personnel are consistently trained to remain at the cutting edge of the industry; our crews are very efficient and timely – we collect, assemble and sort point data in the field. On a daily basis, this raw data is transferred to survey technicians, who compute and map the project to meet all local and state regulatory guidelines.


Construction Surveying

When it comes to construction projects, our staff understands that the success of a project must begin with an accurate location of the proposed features. Through our use of “state-of-the-art” equipment - combined with our well trained professional staff – our surveyors have developed a strong reputation for “doing it right the first time.” Our stakeout services include the following:


  • Sewer, Stormwater & Water Infrastructure
  • Roadway Infrastructure
  • Correctional Institutions
  • Commercial Developments
  • Piers, Docks, and Bridges
  • Condominiums
  • Residential developments
  • As-Built Surveys


Commercial/Industrial Surveys

Our survey crews are trained in the HAZWOPER certification program required by OSHA, providing project completion in a safe, time-efficient manner.


Geodetic & Control Surveys

Baskerville-Donovan crews, professional surveyors and technicians are experienced in the production of high-precision geodetic and control surveys. Our experience in large area control networks and boundary control has developed throughout the Eastern United States and South America. We use state-of-the-art GPS satellites and receivers to establish county-wide networks. The information that we have collected has been published as part of the Southeast Region Control Network and maintained by the National Geodetic Survey. As pioneers in the utilization of this new technology, we offer Static, Fast Static and Kinematic GPS Surveys.


Sub-Surface Utility Surveying

Subsurface Utility Surveying (SUS) is a name given to the process of designating, locating and mapping existing utilities. This process can be utilized for new utilities, upgrading of existing utilities and roadway construction or improvements.


Subsurface utility surveying is a viable solution to avoid underground utility line breaks and provides many benefits for our customers, including:


  • Fewer utility conflicts
  • Reduce delays in construction schedules by eliminating conflicts with utilities
  • Elimination of added construction costs due to utility adjustments
  • Fewer contractor claims based on utility delays
  • Safety level is increased with the reduced chance of severing a utility line
