Aerial Drone Surveying
A recent addition to our surveying toolbox is a couple of quadcopter drones. We use drones to collect imagery over rock quarries and coal stockpiles and utilize the data to calculate the stockpile volumes and the amount of material in the piles. Another application for our drone is performing topographic ground elevation surveys. We can also utilize the drone to acquire a nice photograph of the family farm. Our drone pilot is licensed so we can perform commercial work with our drone.

Route Surveys
When a land surveyor performs a route survey at API Survey, they collect the various degrees of data needed to design the best road possible. Roads are not the only thing that can be designed using route surveys. These surveys can be used to expand a railroad, add onto an existing pipeline, and provide utility access to more homes and businesses.
Topographical Surveys
Do you know how high the land you just purchased is? Are you sure it is all the same elevation? These are vital facts that are needed when considering building anything on land. If you are living close to a river or creek that can flood from time to time, you may want to reconsider your decision of how you want to build up your property. Knowing the features of your land can save you from making a costly mistake. Generally, a topographic survey is performed so a building site design can rely upon it for new development. API has vast experience performing topographic surveys.
Hydraulic Surveys
API can survey the bottom of the lake, contour the water’s edge and determine the volume of water in the lake at various water surface elevations. We can also advise our clients on the effect the water might have on their property during various intense storm events. We have surveyed large lakes and reservoirs to confirm the volume of water available within these bodies of water.
