Solutions IPEM’s survey department offers some of the most diverse and experience-based expertise on projects in both the private and public sectors of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. With our active, practicing Licensed Surveyors whose combined years of experience total over 70 years; the foundation of our survey department is solid and well-rounded.

Having one of the most established survey divisions on the eastern Shore, and working out of two offices, our survey field crews have worked on and successfully completed projects throughout most of the tri-state area. Outfitted with cutting edge field technology, our staff has conducted boundary, topographical, right-of-way, utility, route location, bathymetric, construction stakeout and GPS surveys for numerous clients across Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.

Our GPS capabilities are strengthened by the use of a dual frequency GPS base station.  We are members of a VRN (Virtual Reference Network) on the eastern shore of Virginia, Maryland, and most of Delaware. The base station & VRN network both communicate over the Internet via a wireless connection and provide real-time corrections to our field crews to achieve survey grade GPS accuracy. The latest field processing software is also maintained and supports this effort. This technology enhances our field crews’ flexibility and quick response to project demands.

Our office survey staff both supports and complements our field crews with time tested and proven methods. These procedures have successfully produced deliverables for our clients for years.
