Frequently Asked Questions

What types of construction surveying does TPS provide?

We provide the full spectrum of construction survey services including initial layout and control establishment, ongoing staking throughout construction, quantity surveys, and final as-built documentation. We work across all sectors — oil and gas, civil infrastructure, industrial, commercial, and residential.

What coordinate systems and datums do you work in?

We work in all commonly used Canadian coordinate systems including NAD83 (CSRS), MTM, UTM, and project-specific local grids. We can deliver in whatever datum and projection your project requires, and provide full transformation documentation.

What formats are your deliverables available in?

We deliver in all industry-standard formats including AutoCAD DWG/DXF, MicroStation DGN, CSV/Excel point files, LandXML, Trimble DC files, and PDF. We work directly with your engineering, GIS, or project management software requirements.
