Surveying

G&M provides engineering surveying services by utilizing the latest technology in surveying equipment and advanced techniques. Our experienced crews can complete small or large projects efficiently by reviewing the demands of the project and utilizing the most effective equipment and staff allocations for the required task.

For GPS surveys we utilize the Can-Net Base Station Network system. G&M was an early partner in the expansion of the Can-Net Base Station Network in southwestern Ontario by installing as base station in our Listowel office and hosting a base station in our Owen Sound office. For more information on the Can-Net Base Station network visit www.can-net.ca

Surveying services include:

  • Pre-Engineering topographical surveys using electronic total stations with autolock tracking, robotic and reflectorless capabilities along with GPS data collection equipment.
  • Subdivision Surveys.
  • Construction layout for earth moving and construction of municipal infrastructure, roads and structures.
  • Computer generated digital terrain models, profiles, cross sections, volume calculations and cut/fill balance analysis.
  • 3-D surface preparation for area grading machine control.
  • Setting and establishing Second Order Benchmark’s for Municipalities.
