Accurate, high-precision surveying is critical in developing and establishing foundations for Wyoming’s industrial landscape. Oil, gas, renewables, rail, and other industrial infrastructure projects depend on it, and WLC has experienced professional land surveyors dedicated to executing these high-precision surveys. From tough terrain to technical requirements, here’s how WLC leverages high-precision surveying to power Wyoming.
Tough Terrain
Surveying is essential for WLC to assess rough, remote, and tough terrain in Wyoming. Due to Wyoming’s unique surveying challenges, such as elevation changes, remote access, seasonal weather, expansive plains, and geological variability, some industrial project sites are more difficult to access for our surveyors. These projects require extreme accuracy, and the margin for error is thin when placing pipelines, building structures, or installing turbines. With accurate, high-precision surveying utilizing 3D high-definition scanning, our team can safely survey these areas to provide controlled results and get the project off the ground as precisely as possible.
Technical Tools
WLC executes high-precision surveys using various technical equipment, such as 3D high-definition scanning, robotic total stations, LiDAR, UAVs, and GIS services. The use of these tools translates into time savings, improved accuracy, and the ability to work anywhere from tight, confined spaces to Wyoming’s rugged or remote areas. Our surveyors also have the technical tools and knowledge needed to complete industrial surveying projects above, on, or underground, including staking and layout design.
Industrial Landscape
WLC supports key sectors across Wyoming’s industrial landscape, including energy (oil, gas, wind, solar), transportation, utilities, and power plants. Surveys are the foundation for these projects, and if the layout or bolt patterns are wrong, the entire project will suffer. By performing surveys on-site for industrial projects, our team can provide incredibly accurate specifications and data for off-site fabrication of equipment. Then, it can be custom-fitted into place when delivered to the project site. Off-site fabrication saves our industrial clients time and money by ensuring an exact fit the first time.
Risk Mitigation
Rework, delays, safety issues, permitting problems – the cost and risk of inaccuracies cannot be underestimated. Through high-precision surveys, WLC can help mitigate risk and reduce costs for your project by getting it right the first time and having a real, data-based drawing of the landscape that exists. These surveys are an investment in your project, but they help you avoid costly re-stakes or redesigns, catch issues before they cause problems, reduce delays, and protect your team.
Industrial surveys also provide quality assurance and quality control comparison of supplied plan layout with actual equipment bolt patterns, as well as QA/QC for verticality of process towers and large volume tank walls. WLC’s local knowledge, advanced technology, and proven expertise create real value for Wyoming’s industrial landscape.
