Topographic Surveying and Site Measurement

An important step in the development of a septic system design is the creation of an accurate topographic survey and measurement resulting in a site plan. Below we describe a few important details that are considered with a site plan and topographic survey.

Layout of Site Uses

It is important to prepare a site plan that includes the layout of existing and proposed site uses. Items such as dwellings, barns, garages, winery buildings, well locations (new and proposed) are all considerations for the site's septic system feasability.

Topographic Relief

Components of the septic system are dependent upon the topography of the specific project site. For example, leach lines must be placed level on contour. Additionally, the drop of sewer pipe or the pump characteristics are different for different terrains. 

Other Site Features

All site features are considered in the septic system engineering design process. Our skilled staff considered every existing and proposed use and advise on the appropriate action to take. Give us a call today to discuss the site feature that's on your mind and we can see what it will present to the septic system feasibility.
