Ground Surveying
Kucera has been performing ground-based photogrammetric control and other types of ground surveying work in-house for over 40 years. All ground-based surveying work is overseen by licensed professional land surveyors and experienced geodesists. Kucera surveyors have worked in over 40 different US states and territories and in a number of foreign countries on four continents.
Kucera's ground-based surveying is primarily accomplished with Trimble geodetic-grade GPS receivers operated in static or kinematic mode, depending on the project requirements. Trimble mapping-grade receivers are used for sub-meter accuracy survey work.
Kucera survey crews are responsible for preparing detailed field sketches/recovery records of all control point locations and for placing, monitoring, and removing appropriate targets for monumented control locations.
In addition to geodetic and photogrammetric control surveys, Kucera's survey crews have significant experience performing field verification, utility, boundary, hydrographic, obstruction height, topographic, earthwork/volumetric, deformation/subsidence, wetland, and other types of ground survey work.
The ground surveys have covered a variety of specialized sites, including highways, railroads, dams, lakes and rivers, airports, transmission lines, plant sites, landfills, hazardous waste sites, and wetlands.
The survey crews operate under general company and project-specific safety plans and have undergone extensive safety training.
