The Surveying Section of the Admin/Tech Support Division, under the direction of the Town Surveyor, provides the Town with land and construction surveying services. Survey is called upon to locate boundaries on the ground for town road layouts and other town properties. Field surveyors provide the detailed site information needed to design projects and then provide accurate site definition markings and elevations for the newly designed project on the ground. There are two Computer Aided Design (CAD) operators within the section who translate digitized field information collected by the field survey team into detailed plans. Due to the new CAD technology, this can be accomplished within hours from the time the CAD operators receive the field data. In addition, the CAD operators work with project engineers to create two and three-dimensional drawings for new construction projects.
