At ABMB, we view high-quality surveying as the cornerstone of all our work—which is why we have made it one of our specialties. Our highway, site civil, bridge/structural, and civil works designs often depend on a detailed, accurate survey—which means you can’t be deterred by rugged terrain or swampy ground. To put it simply, nothing fazes our surveyors when it comes to capturing topographical data and using it to create maps and populate GIS systems.   

But we also have a reputation for taking on survey jobs that are challenging in their own right. The Barataria Basin Freshwater Diversion is a case in point. No one had ever attempted to create such a detailed survey of a large freshwater marsh, especially as the forest canopy made using standard GPS techniques impossible. We literally had to put together a combination of techniques, each one appropriate to a specific situation, that together would produce the survey data the job required.

In fact, the Barataria project highlights a few things worth knowing about ABMB surveying. First, we aren’t intimidated by challenging jobs. Second, we’re not afraid to admit that they may keep us up at night. And third, we have the depth of experience and the range of techniques to pull them off and pull them off well.
