A Raw Land Survey is needed for many reasons, and shows more than just the boundaries of a piece of property. Raw Land Surveys show the topography of the land, easements around the tower location and help with showing the contractors and tower builders the location of the tower, possible environmental concerns, and probable access routes or locations.

It is especially pertinent to have a Raw Land survey performed on lots that have been vacant to show all existing utilities that are visible, or subsurface utilities professionally marked before the site visit.

FAA 1A or a 2C Certification is combined with the Raw Land Survey along with boundary information, and topography. We will fulfill any scope of work needed.

The FAA states that when a tower of any kind exceeds the height of 200′ or higher a 1A or 2C certification is required. This is to verify height, and position which is particularly important for the safety of aircrafts.

1A’s Tolerance is 20 feet vertically, and 3 feet horizontally.

2C’s Tolerance is 50 feet vertically, and 20 feet horizontally.

McCann Land Surveyors pioneered surveying Towers and Telecommunication improvements since 1981. We would enjoy the opportunity to contribute to your Professional Survey needs.

After constructing a new cellular site or after land improvements are performed on a cellular site an as-built survey is a good choice to show the progress to builders, along with local authorities that everything is being constructed or has been constructed horizontally, and vertically according to plan plus in compliance with government regulations.

It is pertinent that an as-built survey be performed on a tower site to ensure that FAA regulations and city/state and zoning regulations are met. As-builts also help in planning any additions to an existing site.

5G is the new way to connect. It is also an exceptionally large infrastructure in the making and we have many years of the necessary experience under our belts to know exactly what is needed.

Right of Way surveys for 5G antennas are typically located on top of utility poles, it is particularly important to know if the proposed equipment will be placed within the Right of Way, and to have a detailed report on potential obstructions that are in the vicinity. The survey will certify the height of the pole for the proposed antenna, it will also have details of nearby improvements, plus any other critical features.

Fiber is extremely expensive, so it’s imperative to get the wire below ground, and in the right place. That is why we specialize in fiber route surveys, we will locate all structures and depict them along with contours, and the legal right of way. A fiber route survey will define and detail any difficult terrain or obstacles, allowing for precise quantities for budgeting. We will always meet your scope of work and requests for the survey.

A Rooftop Telecommunications Survey is unique. Anytime repairs or additions are made to a rooftop, it is important to get a roof top survey. This survey details all obstacles plus high points, and items on the roof, knowing who grants access to a building, plus having a proper easement, are also key factors. We will satisfy all of these concerns, and meet your scope of work needed.

An ALTA tower survey typically targets existing cell sites. ALTA surveys are conducted to meet the high standards set forth by ALTA/NSPS this type of survey is upheld by standards set by the American Land Title Association.

When an ALTA survey is conducted, it will satisfy the title insurance company, grant confidence to the tower owner regarding the boundaries, and easements. The survey details on site improvements plus their relation to the boundaries, as well as any additional easements, right of way, or access rights on record while identifying any possible encroachments.

A tower height survey in telecommunications is a precise measurement of a cell tower’s height, conducted by licensed surveyors using advanced technology like GPS. It’s crucial for ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, including FAA requirements.

This survey verifies that newly constructed or modified towers remain within approved height limits, which is essential for maintaining proper signal coverage, avoiding interference, and meeting legal obligations. Accurate height data is also vital for antenna placement and optimizing network performance
