Your Vision, Our Priority

At Ed Holmes and Associates Land Surveyors, we understand the importance of your projects. Our field and office staff are here to collaborate with you, paying close attention to your individual needs and preferences. We treat each project as our own, ensuring every detail is meticulously addressed.

GEOMATICS

Geomatics surveying simply refers to the science, technology, and art of measuring, mapping, and analyzing the Earth’s surface and its features, both natural and man-made. Geomatics surveying plays a crucial role in various industries, including urban planning, land management, environmental monitoring, infrastructure development, and natural resource management. Geomatics includes Boundary Surveys, Topographic Surveying, Planimetrics, Utilities, and often various other mapping resources.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Our construction services include construction surveying, 3D modeling for construction layout, setting up machine control, performing site calibrations, and as-builts/project closeout documentation. We provide precise measurement, layout, and marking of specific points on construction sites, ensuring that projects align accurately with engineering and architectural designs and plans. Our team uses advanced tools and techniques to establish reference points, elevations, and positions for structures, roads, utilities, and other elements within a construction project. This process guarantees that the construction adheres precisely to the intended specifications, minimizing errors, ensuring compliance with regulations, and preventing costly mistakes during the building phase. Construction surveying services play a pivotal role in maintaining accuracy, facilitating smooth project progression, and ultimately delivering a high-quality finished product.

REMOTE SENSING

Remote sensing is an advanced surveying and data analysis methodology that uses sensors to document important environmental or structural information, often using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), also known as drones. Using remotely piloted aircraft equipped with various sensors, we can capture high-resolution imagery, LiDAR data, and other geospatial information for mapping, monitoring, and analysis purposes. This technology has revolutionized the field of geomatics and spatial data collection. Surveying with remote sensing offers several advantages over traditional methods, including increased efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility to remote or hazardous areas.

SUI – SUBSURFACE UTILITY INVESTIGATION

The primary objective of subsurface utility investigation services is to accurately locate and map the presence, type, depth, and condition of underground utilities, including water pipes, sewer lines, gas pipelines, electrical cables, telecommunications cables, and other buried infrastructure. By providing detailed information about the subsurface environment, SUI services help project stakeholders make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and ensure the integrity of existing utilities.

GIS – GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

GIS mapping services involve the creation, management, analysis, and visualization of geographic information using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. GIS mapping services utilize spatial data to generate maps, conduct spatial analysis, and derive valuable insights for various applications across different industries and sectors. The core functionality of GIS mapping services revolves around the integration of spatial data, such as geographic coordinates, satellite imagery, aerial photographs, survey data, and demographic information, into a digital platform.

We treat each project as our own, ensuring every detail is meticulously addressed.
