Expanded Survey Capabilities

I have expanded the capabilities of my survey company. Moran Surveying   purchased two Trimble 4700 GPS base stations and a rover unit. The 4700  will reduce the amount of time needed to perform field work.
  

For example, let's say you are trying to refinance your home.  Unbeknownst to you the  banker says they require an elevation  certificate because your home or  property is shown in a flood zone. An  elevation certificate requires a survey to establish an elevation congruent  with those shown on the local  FEMA Flood rate maps. This  elevation is  rarely close to your house.  That means it takes an inordinate amount of  field time which translate  into a higher costs. This is not the case  anymore.
  
With the Trimble GPS units,  I can set an elevation close to your home   thus reducing the time in the field and saving you money. 
 
If you have any survey questions call or email us.

Super Bowl Jet Traffic

Due to the luxurious nature of private air charter and jet ownership, tracking trends in private air travel can be fascinating. For example, more spectators arrive at the Super Bowl in private jets than at any other regular event. And Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles has seen more than 250,000 private jet landings and takeoffs in each of the past several years, making it by far the busiest airport.(1) Speaking of the Super Bowl and private jets, Newburgh International (KSWF) is one of the destination airports for this years Super Bowl. This information was gleaned from one of my many stops there. When I travel to Harrisburg PA I usually stop for gas at KSWF. The employees at Atlantic Air the FBO (Fixed base operator) have been preparing for Super Bowl jet traffic since the 2013 season began. (2)
