LAN Associates’s staff includes in-house, licensed surveyors and field crews to permit us to perform these services without the need to subcontract with surveying firms. Over the past six years, LAN Associates’s surveying services have grown into four, full-time field crews operating out of two offices. Utilizing both total station and GPS equipment, LAN Associates is capable of completing an average of approximately fifty surveys of varying size on a monthly basis. Projects requiring large stakeouts and linear surveys are one of LAN Associates’s strengths. LAN Associates has performed major rights-of-way surveys and long tract surveys of over 100 acres. LAN Associates completed and submitted an eleven-mile topographical survey for the NJDEP Division of Parks and Forestry. The survey was of an abandoned railroad bed, which will become a trail for Belleplain State Park. Static and real time GPS measurements were used, as well as two miles of conventional traversing. The project was on a restricted budget and a tight time frame. LAN completed the assignment on time and within budget by properly staffing the project and efficiently using in-house personnel and equipment. The survey was of high order with accuracy of greater than 1 in 100,000.
LAN Associates also provides surveying services to several quarrying facilities, which involve large topographic mapping and the use of aerial photography. LAN Associates provides these clients with volume calculations for stockpiles and excavated areas and preparation of permits as the need arises. LAN Associates was previously involved with the Surface Water Controls Capital Improvement Project at the Ramapo Landfill in Ramapo, New York. LAN Associates’s involvement was to set lines and levels for construction purposes and to calculate quantities for several pay items for the contractor. LAN was able to mobilize at a moments notice during the construction activities. The preparation of as-built topography and cross section generation was also a large portion of the project work.
LAN Associates has furnished clients with extensive boundary surveys that involved title searches and property line analysis that were complex and time consuming. One such assignment involved the Delaware and Raritan Canal for the NJDEP Division of Parks and Forestry. LAN Associates established the property line based on deed plots and boundary line analysis of over twenty-two parcels. Similarly, LAN Associates has performed reconnaissance of previously monumented State Park boundaries and provided field analysis of same utilizing portable computers. Quick use of computers not only provided accuracy but great efficiency in completing the project. Missing monuments along many boundaries were reset without revisiting the office to perform computations. LAN Associates utilizes state of the art equipment to perform measuring activities for surveying jobs, including global positioning satellite equipment.
LAN Associates also recently performed a deed research, boundary survey, and preparation of a metes and bounds description, along with setting of property corners, on a 71-acre parcel for Sirius Satellite Radio of NY.
