A.L.T.A. Surveys

A.L.T.A. surveys are specialized land surveys with especially stringent requirements developed by joint efforts of the American Land Title Association (A.L.T.A.) and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (A.C.S.M.). The A.L.T.A. standards are a nationwide uniform set of standards developed to ensure the protection of landowners and satisfy the needs of lenders, corporations, and title companies when dealing with valuable commercial properties.
Our survey group is well versed with these requirements and standards to provide excellent quality A.L.T.A. surveys to public and private clients alike. Our project managers work closely with real estate attorneys, land developers, and lending institutions to make the process of insuring titles successful and effective.

Boundary Surveys

Combining time honored methods and new cutting edge technologies, Johnson Engineering?s surveyors have been an integral part of measuring and defining the lands in our area for over sixty years. Boundary surveys are one of our elite services provided to our clients. Our extensive library of land records, early plats, survey drawings and skilled history in the area has helped us to be a leading consultant of choice.

Construction Layout

Our construction layout specialists know the importance of translating the elements and features shown on engineering drawings or construction plans to actual locations on the ground. Construction layout is an essential service provided to land developers, general contractors, and civil engineers helping to bring the designer?s vision to reality.

Field crews and office personnel communicate via internet and cellular phone, giving us the technical ability to make field adjustments or make changes that may occur during construction. Sound practices, technology advancements and motivated professionals have culminated to produce, well known, successful ventures and developments in the area that have resulted in increased commerce, value and convenience to our local communities.

Platting

In achieving a balanced relationship between land use, development and the conservation of our natural resource base, platting has been Johnson Engineering?s surveying and mapping?s mainstay throughout decades.
Platting or the subdividing of lands is to promote the wise use of land in our area. Our team understand that safety, public health, aesthetics, and the general welfare of Florida citizens are of first importance. Our clients have enjoyed confidence and peace of mind through the successful efforts of our team and their knowledge of local land development codes, statues and platting requirements.

Record Surveys

Using global positioning systems (GPS), digital levels, improving aerial imaging and traditional survey methods, our survey and mapping group provides accurate and precise mapping services that can show our clients existing conditions prior to a project and the resulting conditions after construction is finished. Record or location surveys offer a comparison between the final result of proposed and existing elements and help clients, building officials and general contractors to see just how closely their project was built according to plans.

Sketches and Legal Descriptions

In as much as creating maps graphically are an art and a science, so too is describing the features on these maps with words and phrases. Our professionals are skilled and experienced in creating sketches and legal descriptions of real property, easements, water bodies and conservation areas using graphic and verbal means that mathematically articulate these features.
Attorneys, property appraisers, municipalities and many others utilize sketches and legal descriptions for the conveyance of deed and title or many other purposes by recording them in official record books at county land departments.

Geotechnical Support

Geotechnical engineers utilize data obtained from soil samples, monitoring wells and test holes to examine soil conditions and strata. This information is critical in assessing the suitability of sites for development or construction and our surveyors have often provided reliable support to these professionals in their endeavors.
With the advent of geographical information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS), geotechnical engineers rely on land surveyors to help them create maps, databases and assistance in the field by showing relationships to these areas of specific soil interests. Our field surveyors locate soil boring locations or establish locations in often remote or strategically challenging areas for drilling rigs according to the direction of the geotechnical engineer.

Aerial Support

Small and large projects alike benefit in many ways by aerial imagery and mapping. Photogrammetrists and cartographers also benefit from land surveyor?s support to help them align or establish these aerial images in time and space.
Our surveyors provide support services to state and local aerial mapping firms. Using global positioning systems (GPS) and other conventional means of surveying, aerial targets are established or located so that these images are validated to the local horizontal and vertical datum.
