The Importance of Los Angeles County Telecommunication Surveys

Los Angeles County telecommunications surveys are vital for the overall wireless infrastructure of this fast-moving county. Erecting and maintaining new cell phone towers are integral to the growth of 21st century communication channels. We, at Nationwide Surveying, Inc, are committed to provide the best possible telecommunication surveying solutions in Los Angeles County by using the latest technology and talented field crew.

Telecommunications surveys are required for various reasons ranging from potential tower site analysis to government obligations. Here are few more reasons that explain the importance of telecommunications surveys:

According to the ‘Federal Aviation Administration’ (FAA) guidelines, the telecom companies operating in Los Angeles County have to submit 1A or 2C FAA certifications before constructing/erecting cellular communication towers.
Telecommunication surveys help determine the exact position of the tower site. Details include latitude, longitude and height of the tower mean sea level.
Precisely establish Flood-Plain information to adhere to latest FEMA regulations.
Telecommunication surveys record and report boundary, easement, topographical data, utility-cum-zoning access information with regard to a tower’s location.
Identify new cellular traffic locations and improve customer base.
Collect zoning laws and local codes information regarding setback requirements and tower height restrictions.
Collect information about the elementary layout of a typical cellular tower site.

Depending on proposed location for a cell tower, various things have to be taken into account. For a mobile phone tower to be erected, a Boundary survey as well as a Raw Land Tower Site Survey has to be completed. Since Los Angeles County has many high-rise buildings, there is also probability of undertaking a Roof Top telecommunication tower survey. Furthermore, if two service providers wish to use a single location, then Co-Location Tower Surveys have to be completed.

Telecommunication Surveys – The Process

At Nationwide Surveying, a telecommunications survey starts by clearly defining the particular restrictions with regard to lease carrier area. Afterwards, surveying team drafts a thorough topographic map of the whole region using sophisticated GPS equipments. This map also shows other structures/monuments inside the lease area. At the same time, the egress-ingress easements with regard to the cellular tower site are also defined. Next step involves defining the site’s longitude and latitude details to comply with the FAA guidelines. In the end, all the information is processed, packaged and presented to the concerned company as well as authorities.

Besides this, existing telecommunications towers are also surveyed. In this case, the survey may include a cellular tower Title Review, Cellular Tower ALTA Survey or any survey that concerns with tower’s registration, operation or accreditation. Also, a Tower As-built Survey may be required during the construction to check whether all the progress is in accordance with the local regulations and meets the original survey performed earlier.
