ALTA Survey Texas

Land Surveyors are professionals who make precise measurements to determine the size and boundaries of a piece of real estate.  While this is a simplistic definition, boundary surveying is one of the most common types of surveying related to home and land owners.

Construction Survey: Why Every Major Project Begins Here

Mesquite is growing fast. New retail centers are rising near major roads. Warehouses are expanding. Subdivisions continue to stretch farther east. Because of this growth, every serious build now starts the same way — with a construction survey. Years ago, some developers treated surveying like a small step before pouring

How Plastic Asphalt Is Changing Geotechnical Engineering

Texas roads take a beating. Between blazing summer heat, heavy truck traffic, and sudden rainstorms, pavement cracks fast. Now, researchers at UT Arlington are testing plastic-modified asphalt as a way to make roads last longer. The idea sounds simple: reuse plastic waste and create stronger pavement. However, this research also

Why LiDAR Mapping Is Driving Smart Infrastructure in 2026

Dallas is not just growing. It is upgrading. In 2026, cranes will fill the skyline. Highways expand. Airport terminals grow. New warehouses rise along major roads. However, behind all that progress sits something most people never see: data. More specifically, LiDAR mapping. While concrete and steel shape the city, LiDAR

What Safety Projects Reveal About the Construction Engineer

McKinney, Texas is growing fast. New homes, roads, and public buildings are appearing every year. Recently, the city announced plans for a new public safety campus to support fire and emergency services. Most people notice the building size or location. However, this project shows something more important. It shows how

How a Traffic Engineer Manages Major Freeway Detours

When a major freeway shuts down, most people expect delays. However, few people see how wide the impact can spread. Traffic does not stay near the closed road. Instead, it moves into city streets. Side roads fill up. Intersections clog. Driveways become hard to enter. Delivery trucks struggle to turn.

What a Civil Engineering Firm Reviews First on Projects

When people hear about a 2,000-home development in Texas, they picture new streets, model homes, and fast growth. However, none of that starts first. Long before builders move dirt, a civil engineering firm studies the land and tests the plan behind the scenes. That early work decides if a project
