The Survey Team provides design and construction surveying support services to the Engineering Division, Public Works Department, and other City departments.

The Survey Team is a vital part of the Engineering Division-providing surveying assistance for project designs and preparing Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) drawings for construction. Surveying is performed to determine rights-of-way, set benchmarks, determine elevations, and to provide topographic maps.

The Survey Team provides an electronic survey of sites to be improved or rehabilitated. These surveys are used by the Engineering Division to design capital projects involving streets, drainage, and sanitary sewer.

To better manage data and operations, the Survey Team has integrated the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) into their list of technical services.
