this survey was carried out to alter the boundaries of existing lots through subdivision and consolidation and involved a number of municipal subdivision by-law requirements. — Boundary Survey

Boundary Surveys

TPC Desktop™ has the tools to help you with deed research, finding monuments and projecting locations, computing your control points and side shots. When you’re ready, you can move easily from a control survey to a topo or site survey.

Site Surveys

Sometimes, your surveys end up being a little bit of everything on site: shorelines, rock walls, driveways, vegetation, buildings, etc. TPC Desktop’s Point Codes turn your field data into your map.

HUERFANO COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT — Topographic Survey

Topographic Surveys

TPC Desktop has all the tools to generate surfaces, edit breaklines, exclude areas, compute volumes and do slope analysis. If you need to export to CAD, we deliver a complete polyfacemesh along with your contours.

Construction Surveys

You’ll find all the tools to compute offsets, setbacks, points online and pretty much anything else you need. TPC Desktop™ even has tools to check linework from CAD drawings so that each line starts right where the last one ended. TPC makes it easy to convert grid to ground and export just the points you want to your data collector, total station or GPS.

Plat Checking

TPC Desktop™ has all the tools to convert objects in a CAD drawing to survey, pick CAD lines and labels and turn them into bearings and distances entered right into the Traverse View. It’s easy to check closures, offsets, areas and more.

Mortgage Surveys

TPC Desktop™ makes it simple to perform mortgage surveys. Even users without land surveying backgrounds are able to create mortgage survey reports and maps. If you can navigate windows-based software, you can create mortgage surveys with TPC Desktop™.

Subdivision Surveys

Use TPC Desktop’s tools for alignments, right-of-way offsets, lot setbacks, predetermined areas and more to generate subdivision roads and lots. Labeling lot lines and areas is easy with our traverse drawing settings. Our automatic lot setbacks let you specify which lot lines are Front / Side / Rear, then TPC Desktop™ does the rest.

ALTA/NSPS(ACSM) Land Title Surveys

TPC Desktop™ has all the tools to help you meet the minimum standard for Positional Tolerance and Relative Positional Precision using our built-in Least Squares network analysis. You’ll also find all the necessary drawing tools like Line Tables, Lot Tables and Curve Tables.

Public Lands Survey System (PLSS) Surveys

TPC Desktop™ features PLSS with ground distance and true bearing via the 2009 BLM Manual of Survey. We’re the only ones who do it that way from start to finish. That means better data, so there are no apparent misclosures when you close a section.

Tunnel Surveys

Other Types of Surveys

TPC Desktop™ is not just powerful software that is easy to use. It’s also extremely versatile – because it’s not designed to be constraining to the user. Instead, we developed TPC Desktop™ to work the way that you prefer, offering multiple ways, or Views™ as we call them, to produce your deliverables. You learn two or three of the many Views™ and you’ve learned the software. Over the years this has resulted in clients that use TPC Desktop™ in countless applications and industries. Here is just sampling of what our clients have used our software for:
