Topographic Surveys
Whether you’re redesigning a road, eliminating a drainage problem or developing property, Compass Surveying provides complete and accurate topographic surveys and three-dimensional models that precisely depict the natural and manmade features of a site, including buildings, improvements, utilities, elevations, and contours.
We incorporate GPS, leveling instruments, robotic technology and other tools to provide detailed and high-quality topographic surveys that serve as the foundation for site planning, engineering design, and construction documents. Our topographic surveys give land developers, architects and engineers a clear and accurate picture of existing site conditions, allowing them to proceed with confidence.

For more than two decades, Compass has been integrating the most current, accurate and efficient equipment with advanced field skills and expert knowledge to provide detailed and accurate topographic surveys throughout northern Illinois.

We understand the art and science of measuring, and we independently confirm and double-check all our data to ensure accuracy. Your project is too valuable, your reputation too important.
