Surveying and mapping provide the basis for all planning and engineering design.  A comprehensive knowledge of surveying methods and technologies is essential to assure the proper foundation for future planning and engineering.  R. J. Fisher and Associates, Inc. uses the latest technology in electronic surveying equipment integrated with computer-aided design (CAD) systems to assure accurate and cost-effective professional services.

The staff at R. J. Fisher and Associates is cross-trained in the field-to-finish survey and design methods.  Normally the same staff members who do the field survey work will also download the field data into our CAD system, draft the base map, be involved with the project design and perform the final construction stake-out.  We have found that by giving our staff a diverse range of responsibilities we are able to significantly increase the quality of our surveying and design services.  There is a thorough understanding of what field information is necessary, how this information is used, and why the design may or may not be modified during construction.

The following are examples of the types of professional and technical services we can provide:

• Boundary and right-of-way surveys
• Aerial photography control surveys
• Traffic accident surveys
• As-built and topographical surveys
• Tree identification and mapping surveys
• Stream and structure cross-sections for hydraulic analysis
• Surveys for traffic improvement projects
• Wetland location and mapping
• Utility mapping and construction stake-out
• Construction quantity surveys
• Construction stake-out for grading utilities and roads
• Slope analysis survey
• Highway and bridge construction stakeout
