Land surveying services for Riverside telecom projects

Over the years, Riverside County has witnessed tremendous growth in terms of wireless traffic. This has led to a huge boon in the number of telecommunications towers in and around the county. Telecommunication surveys help companies’ rise up to this challenge by providing accurate technical information and compliance with local regulations. Nationwide Surveying, Inc. offers its clients telecommunication surveys tailored according to Riverside County requirements.

Why are telecommunication surveys important?

Telecom surveys serve diverse purposes. To begin with, they help telecom companies identify a potential cellular tower site. This in turn helps the company increase its customer base and eventually profits. Telecom surveys also determine whether a particular tower site meets all the local and federal cellular tower regulations. Some of the codes that are to be adhered to include:

• ‘Federal Aviation Administration’ (FAA) guidelines including 1A, 2C FAA, elevation certifications.
• FEMA Cellular Tower Regulations for flood plain information.
• Local boundary, easement, setback/height and zoning codes.

Besides compliance with these obligatory regulations, telecommunications survey provides other important information such as latitude, longitude, topographical data and height of the cellular tower. This information affects the fundamental layout and design of a tower site.

As-Built Telecom Tower surveys are performed during construction and their purpose is to check whether the tower is being constructed according to original design specifications or not. Telecom surveys are used for existing tower sites as well. In this case, a survey comes handy to determine a tower’s efficiency, compliance with updated rules/regulations, annual performance and future feasibility.

Types of Telecommunications Surveys

Basically, there are 3 types of telecom land surveys. These are:

1. Raw Land Telecom Tower Survey – This is performed for a new tower site to collect the geodetic information pertaining to the site. Usually, a boundary survey and an ALTA survey are also done along with this survey.
2. Roof Top Telecom Tower Survey – Such a survey is undertaken when a cellular tower is to be erected on top of an existing building in a residential/commercial area. This is the most common type of telecom survey in metropolitan cities where land is scarce. Here, height restrictions and building by laws are also taken into account.
3. Co-Location Telecom Tower Survey - This type of survey is performed when two telecom companies are willing to use the same location and want to share a single tower. In this case, communication equipments of two companies are managed atop a single tower. Such a survey helps lower costs and increase wireless reach.

Regardless of the types of surveys, some universal regulations are to be followed in every case. For example, an FAA 2C or 1A Certification is required for approval of every cellular tower. Site Construction survey, Cell Tower Title Review survey and Tower ALTA Survey are also obligatory surveys to get accreditation from authorities.
