Land Surveyor in Salinas

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and its most populous city, with 163,542 residents at the 2020 census. It was founded as a railroad town when the Southern Pacific arrived in the 1870s and incorporated in 1874; the 1873 freight depot is its oldest surviving commercial building. Oldtown's buildings date mostly from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the John Steinbeck House, an 1897 Queen Anne on Central Avenue, is on the National Register. Boundary research in the older core often starts from railroad-era maps and lots that have been split and rebuilt many times.

Around the city, the Salinas Valley grows a large majority of the country's salad greens, and the land and buildings that support that business, fields, cooling plants, and refrigerated warehouses, shape much of the survey work here. We provide boundary and topographic surveys, construction verification of anchor bolts and steel for new processing buildings, and 3D laser scanning tied to survey control for existing plants and historic buildings. Our office is in Lotus, in El Dorado County, so Salinas work is planned as a mobilization, with field days scheduled back to back.
