Queens, New York

Project Details

MFS performed a boundary survey to look for and locate property corner and property line evidence such as corner/line

markers, fences, walls, etc.. MFS performed a field survey to locate physical features, such as structures, walls, curb, drives, sidewalks, pathways, ramps, stairs, handrails, fences, benches, signs, street furniture, etc.. Elevations along curbing, property lines, and centerlines were surveyed at 25-ft intervals. Existing structures such as buildings, decks, patios, and/or other improvements on adjoining properties, which are within five feet (5’) of the property, were located. MFS located all building corners and sill elevations of the exterior doors.

MFS located surface utilities within the limit of work and beyond such as manholes, catch basins, trench drains, valve covers, utility/light poles, hydrants, chamber covers, exposed piping, etc. For storm drains and sanitary sewers, MFS obtained measurements to determine inverts and pipe sizes at accessible manholes and catch basins. MFS contacted NYC One Call to make a design ticket request.

MFS retained the services of a subcontractor to perform electromagnetic utility locating. This information was used as an aid into the identification of the number, identity, size and material of utilities located in the field. Flags were in accordance with the APWA uniform color code guidelines.
