Land Survey

From preliminary route surveys to final documentation, we deliver GIS-ready data your project can build on.

The right survey data makes everything else easier.

NETS provides land survey services for pipeline construction, infrastructure, and integrity projects across the country. Our PLS-licensed crews handle everything from network control and topographic route surveys through construction staking, as-built documentation, and GIS deliverables.


Whether your project is in the early feasibility stage or heading into final closeout, we have the personnel and the credentials to support it.

What We Do

Land Survey Services

Network & Project Control Surveys

Establishing the precise control points every other survey activity on your project depends on.

Topographic Route Surveys

Survey-grade topo data supporting preliminary engineering and route selection for pipeline and infrastructure projects.

Boundary Surveys & ROW Assistance

Boundary determination and right-of-way acquisition support to keep your project land needs on track.

Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)

Identifying and mapping existing underground utilities before construction begins to reduce risk and avoid costly strikes.

Construction Staking & Layout

Field staking that translates design drawings into accurate, buildable locations on site.

As-Built, Precision Surveys

Material tally, weld mapping, redlines, and in-ditch data collection for final project records and compliance documentation.

Drafting & Permit Drawings

Design, construction, and as-built alignment sheets along with permit drawings, P&ID drawings, and easement plats.

GIS Data Collection & Verification

Field-verified GIS data delivered in PODS, EPIC, or INTEGRA formats as required by your project specifications.

Common Questions

Common Questions About Land Survey

  • What types of land surveys does NETS perform for pipeline projects?

    NETS performs network and project control surveys, topographic route surveys, boundary and right-of-way surveys, subsurface utility engineering surveys, construction staking, and as-built surveys including material tally, weld mapping, and in-ditch data collection.

  • What is a subsurface utility engineering (SUE) survey?

    A SUE survey identifies and maps the location of existing underground utilities before construction begins. This reduces the risk of utility strikes during excavation and helps contractors plan around existing infrastructure before breaking ground.

  • What deliverable formats does NETS provide for land survey projects?

    NETS delivers survey data in PODS, EPIC, and INTEGRA formats, along with standard CAD and GIS file formats. We also produce permit drawings, P&ID drawings, easement plats, and alignment sheets as required by your project.

  • How many states is NETS licensed to perform land surveys in?

    NETS is staffed by professional land surveyors holding active licenses across 15 states.


    These states include: Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Alabama, Arizona, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Florida

  • At what stage of a pipeline project should survey work begin?

    Survey work typically begins at the feasibility stage with preliminary topographic and route surveys, and continues through construction staking and final as-built documentation at project closeout. Bringing a survey crew in early helps establish accurate control that every other phase of the project depends on.
