Route Surveys
Route Surveys provide the field data and mapping needed to plan, design, and construct linear projects such as roads, pipelines, utilities, trails, and infrastructure corridors
Route Surveys are used to collect and document existing conditions along a proposed or existing corridor. These surveys help engineers, designers, agencies, and contractors understand the physical, topographic, boundary, utility, and access conditions that may affect a linear project. In fact, route surveys are essential deliverables for projects of all types, including residential, commercial, and industrial development.
Whether the route involves transportation improvements, utility extensions, drainage systems, or other corridor-based work, accurate survey data helps guide design decisions and reduce costly surprises in the field. Among the deliverables Allen & Company provides in our route surveys are:
- Corridor Mapping: Documents existing conditions along a defined project route
- Topographic Data: Captures elevations, slopes, drainage patterns, and terrain changes
- Boundary Information: Helps identify property lines and parcel relationships along the route
- Utility Features: Locates visible or marked utility structures that may affect design or construction
- Roadway Features: Shows pavement, curbs, sidewalks, driveways, signs, and related improvements
- Drainage Conditions: Identifies ditches, culverts, inlets, flow patterns, and stormwater features
- Control Points: Establishes reliable horizontal and vertical references for design and layout
- Access Considerations: Helps determine how the route connects to roads, parcels, or other corridors
- Design Support: Provides engineers and planners with accurate base data for project development
- Construction Readiness: Supports staking, layout, and field verification during construction
Route Surveys are important because linear projects often cross multiple properties, utilities, drainage areas, and jurisdictional boundaries. Allen & Company’s surveying and mapping teams provide the accurate field information needed to move route-based projects from planning to design and construction with greater confidence.
Developers who have been active in Florida’s growth and development over the past few decades have required route surveys from Allen & Company, allowing them to plan the location of a broad range of infrastructure elements effectively. Since 1988, we have been involved in the vast majority of large-scale development projects in Central Florida and now, we continue to serve the needs of customers all across the Sunshine State.
