WHAT WE DO / SURVEY / SURVEYING SERVICES

Our surveying and mapping practice is founded on respecting boundaries and preserving property rights. We deliver innovation, efficiency, and accuracy in every project.

Topo and Boundary

Boundary & Topographic Surveying

The Latest & Most Efficient Methods

With over a century of archived data, boundary records, and historical maps of the Gulf Coast region, TBS can raise the bar by using the latest and most efficient methods for collecting and staking data points for property and topographic surveys. These methods range from conventional instrumentation to fully automated land- and aerial-based systems.

Marine Positioning

Marine Positioning

Extensive GIS & AutoCAD Databases at Your Disposal

Marine positioning applications are challenging; the ability to position a rig, install a pipeline, or perform cable installation can be compromised by everything from water depth to working in adverse weather conditions. TBS brings to our marine positioning services an extensive GIS and AutoCAD database of onshore, shelf, and offshore wells, pipeline and platform data, and hazard locations.

Solutions

Since 2005, we have been involved in post-hurricane abandonment and recovery projects utilizing acoustics and sonar to safely position divers, ROVs, cranes, and subsea tools to provide planning, design, construction management, and operations compliance support to meet our clients’ needs.

Laser Scanning

Laser Scanning

Most Advanced and Efficient Method of Collecting
Survey Measurement

TBS offers the most advanced and efficient method for collecting survey measurement using 3D laser scanning. Laser scanning is a powerful data collection technology that utilizes advanced laser measurement technology, combined with traditional survey techniques, to collect large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which helps mitigate safety issues and lower project costs drastically. TBS professionals use this data to produce an exact three-dimensional point cloud representation of the survey area.

Solutions

  • 3D Modeling

  • Registered Point Cloud Data

  • 2D Plan View Drawings

  • Volumetric Calculations

  • Web-Based Viewer

Dimensional Control Surveying

Dimensional Control Surveying

Real-time 3D Results

With dimensional control surveying, TBS can provide clients with “real-time” 3D results in the field. Using highly accurate total stations and industrial measurement software, our dimensional control surveyors have the experience and expertise to ensure your projects will fit the first time by comparing design dimensions to industry standards and tolerances to verify conformity.

 

Dimensional control surveying is the best solution for many types of surveying that require immediate information out in the field.
