About Surveying
Surveying is an integral part of our business. AEW conducts boundary surveys, topographical and architectural surveys, control for aerial mapping and land title surveys, construction staking, GIS inventory, and GPS control. We also prepare legal descriptions for properties, rights-of- way and easements.
AEW uses state-of- the-art methods and equipment, including drones, and highly-skilled personnel, with two FAA licensed drone pilots on staff, to assist with phase layout and staking for the significant number of construction projects we work with. Survey information, obtained with electronic total stations/data collectors, or global positioning system (GPS) receivers, is digitally transferred to the computers used by our design staff. Design information is then transferred from the computer system to the total station/data collectors to aid with construction layout in a highly skilled and technology-rich manner.
