Land Surveyor in Folsom

Folsom is two cities from a surveyor's point of view. North of Highway 50 is the established town: Gold Rush-era lots in and around Sutter Street, where the city's Historic District carries its own development standards and Historic District Commission design review, and decades of subdivisions on foothill terrain between Lake Natoma and Folsom Lake. Boundary work here means reconciling old maps with improvements that have been rebuilt more than once, and topographic surveys for additions and site work have to pick up rock outcrops, slopes, and drainage that the valley floor never presents. South of Highway 50, the Folsom Plan Area, bounded by White Rock Road, Prairie City Road, and the El Dorado County line, is building out, and that work runs on construction staking, as-builts, and verification.

The city also sits among some of the region's largest structures: Folsom Dam and its auxiliary spillway, Folsom Lake Crossing, the Rainbow Bridge over the American River, and the 1895 Folsom Powerhouse. For existing buildings and structures we provide 3D laser scanning tied to survey control, with registered point clouds, scan-to-CAD plans, sections, and elevations, and anchor bolt and steel verification on new construction. Our office is in the El Dorado County foothills, a short drive from Folsom.
