Ludlow Engineering Performs Land Surveys throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
Since 1975, Ludlow Engineering has performed Land surveys in the Salt Lake Valley. We are located just South of Utah County and can meet all survey needs in Salt Lake City. Updated with the latest in GPS equipment, Ludlow can perform any survey task in the State of Utah.
What does a standard boundary survey entail?
The surveyor thoroughly examines the historical records relating to the land in question and often all lands surrounding it. In addition to the Registry of Deeds this research may include: the Registry of Probate, county commissioners’ offices, town offices, historical associations and the Department of Transportation. The surveyor may also talk with prior owners and adjoiners.
The field work begins after the research and involves establishing a control network of known points called a traverse. The points are used to search for and locate existing monuments and other evidence of the boundaries. Although the field portion of a survey is the most visible phase of surveying, it usually represents only a third of the entire project.
The results of the field work are compared with the research and the surveyor then reconciles all the information to arrive at a final conclusion about the boundaries. A second field trip is then needed to set the new monuments. Finally, the surveyor will draft a plan, prepare a legal description and write a report.
