Land surveying services at O'Dell Engineering are available for a variety of projects including:

Construction Staking & Layout
O'Dell Engineering's construction surveying division can handle any project. From high-rise steel structures to tunnels, we provide all aspects of construction surveying. We have experience surveying shopping centers, hospitals, schools, highways, water treatment facilities, industrial sites, mechanical layout, residential projects, airports, rail roads, and much more.

Topographic Surveys
Our highly qualified survey crews are equipped with the latest GPS, robotic total stations and 3D laser scanners to ensure accurate and efficient work. We use advanced software to automatically draft the bulk of the data collected in the field. This greatly reduces drafting time and eliminates errors that may occur when interpreting field data. Digital photos are taken of each project to clearly identify detailed features and reduce site visits. O'Dell Engineering has been working in 3D for many years and provides CAD files including digital terrain models compatible with 3D design process.

Boundary Surveys
O'Dell Engineering approaches each boundary surveying assignment with meticulous care. We understand the land title issues that face our clients and protect them from unwanted and costly surprises. Our experience with public agencies and processes enable us to quickly provide an accurate analysis of boundary issues.

Mapping
Final maps, parcel maps, topographic maps, right of way maps, and records of survey are always being prepared at O'Dell Engineering. We also provide corner records, lot line adjustments, ALTA Surveys, aerial maps, flood plain certifications, and exhibits for almost any application. Our extensive relationships with local government agencies ensure our mapping documents are processed quickly.

Legal Descriptions
Legal descriptions are part of almost every development project. At O'Dell, we understand the importance of concise descriptions that will stand the test of time, hold up in court, and protect our clients. We prepare legal descriptions for property transfers, easements, dedications, annexations, rezones, district boundaries and more.
