Led by Elizabeth McReynolds and Hudson Draper of our Surveying Department, this project involves an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey of an entire housing campus at Utah Valley University. ALTA stands for American Land Title Association, while NSPS stands for National Society of Professional Surveyors. These are two organizations that have established standards for land surveys, which are designed to provide accurate and comprehensive information about a property’s boundaries, easements, and other related details. Our team was brought on to ensure these standards are being met as the University continues to grow and develop.
To perform this survey, our team used specialized equipment and software, such as a Leica P40 Scanner, which is a high-tech device capable of capturing precise 3D images and measurements of a property. The scanner is used to gather data on the property’s features, including the structures on the campus as seen in the images here.
After collecting the data in the field, our team has to interpret and analyze it in the office. Using specialized software and high-powered computers our team inputs the data and creates a detailed land parcel map. This map includes an extremely detailed breakdown including information such as the location of property boundaries, the placement of structures and other improvements, and any easements or other encumbrances that affect the property.
The final product of all of this effort is a comprehensive report that includes all of the information gathered during the survey and via the Leica P40 scanner and includes detailed maps and diagrams that help to illustrate the results.
Overall, performing an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a complex and time-consuming process that requires a high level of skill and expertise. By using specialized equipment and software, our team can gather and analyze data in a highly accurate and efficient manner, which helps to ensure that the resulting report is as comprehensive and useful as possible.
