Surveying and mapping are vital to building a better world....

It's more than elevations, points and lines, Surveying and mapping has defined the boundaries of cities and towns, suburbs and exurbs, farms, roads and parks throughout the world. And it will shape our future businesses and farms, homes and schools with ever-improving accuracy and ideas. Land Grant Surveyors carries this responsibility with reverence, whether we are staking out a school or a water management system for a municipality. Both homeowners and large companies alike deserve the peace of mind that comes with precise mapping.

We are sharing some projects for you to see the breadth of Surveying Services we can provide. While we love being part of high profile projects that impact the community and the glitzy ones that improve our local economy, we work just as mindfully on sewage system and rights of way projects and small property surveys.

It is in measuring and mapping borders that Land Grant Surveyors helps people just like you expand the possibilities of the communities where we live, work, learn, travel, pray and play... Let us help you with your next land or construction project.

DHL Warehouse Facility

The DHL Warehouse project was one of the larger stakeout projects we’ve completed. The 65-acre site contained extensive parking areas and a 325,000 s.f. warehouse building. Our dedicated stakeout team stuck by our client’s schedule and worked closely with the project superintendent to make sure he had everything he needed. In addition to establishing horizontal and vertical control, we staked out erosion & sediment control, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and waterline, curbing, paving, centerline, parking areas, retaining walls, basins, swales, and the warehouse building.

Other Projects

Harrisburg Farm Show Complex & Expo Center

Although the Harrisburg Farm Show Complex & Expo Center is most famous for hosting the annual Pennsylvania Farm Show, it is also a popular destination for trade shows, car shows, proms and expos. The ever-increasing crowd size of these popular events has created the need for the expansion of their parking facilities and improved traffic flow.
