Services include: Site feasibility studies Land development plans Site layout and grading Parking lot design and layout Storm water management Erosion and sediment control plans Demolition and remediation management NPDES permit applications Bridge & culvert design Retaining wall design Site lighting Landscape design LEED AP design Perimeter fencing and retaining wall design Municipal meetings and review preparation In-house topographic surveying capabilities, including Professional Land Surveyors and LiDAR technology, provide enhanced ability to manage design projects efficiently and maintain a high standard of quality. Stahl Sheaffer individuals are experienced in performing field surveying for both roadway and site development projects. Our field work facilitates the development of mapping coverage to depict existing conditions and present proposed construction. The data collected also permits the development of a digital terrain model of the site which facilitates design plans. Our field survey procedures are performed using total stations with electronic field book capability or with our mobile LiDAR unit. Field data is collected and electronically transferred to in-house computers where it is compiled, checked and plotted. P a g e 6

9 Stahl Sheaffer survey teams are experienced in performing field surveying for roadway and site development projects. Our field work results in mapping coverage to depict the existing conditions and present the proposed construction. Our field survey procedures are performed using total stations with electronic field book capability. Field data is collected and electronically transferred to in house computers where it is compiled, checked and plotted. Stahl Sheaffer provides accurate documentation of property ownership, existing right of way, and deed research. Boundary and topographic surveys Utility mapping and coordination Subdivision surveys ALTA/ACSM surveys 360 LiDAR scanning As-built surveys Bridge surveys Flood elevation surveys Right of way documentation GPS services Base plan preparation Construction stakeout Stahl Sheaffer can now collect more detailed information more quickly using a mobile LiDAR system a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with two lasers scanning 360 degrees and analyzing the reflected light. A rapidly firing laser covers the entire landscapes in a few sweeps, painting the topography and extracting data. Computer software then transforms raw numbers into colorful 3-D point clouds, and the end products are multilayered, high-resolution maps. For roadway management, Stahl Sheaffer s customized roadway defect tracking technology is applied to identify and flag roadway conditions within the scanned data. 3-D point cloud information can be used in conjunction with 360 panoramic video to create as-builts for facility, land development, or roadway projects.
