Surveying built around the realities of public infrastructure.

Send the project limits, current plans or exhibits, the intended design use, owner or agency standards, available control information, required features, requested deliverable formats, target schedule, and known access constraints. For rehabilitation work, prior record drawings and available utility information are also useful.

Yes, when the existing control can be recovered and verified for the assignment. Eagle can review the project's horizontal and vertical basis, datum, benchmarks, and owner requirements before relying on them. If control needs to be supplemented or reestablished, that can be addressed in the survey scope.

Record drawings are useful starting information, but the design survey should document the field conditions included in the agreed scope. Eagle can locate and measure visible or accessible utility features, structures, tie-ins, and surface conditions and flag discrepancies that affect the survey. If subsurface utility investigation beyond normal survey observations is required, that should be coordinated as a separate project need.

That timing should be established before the critical features are covered. The contractor, inspector, owner, and survey team need to know which pipe locations, fittings, valves, structures, elevations, and coordinates are required so the observations can be made while those features are still accessible.

Yes, when access, safety, orientation, escort, and work-window requirements are coordinated before mobilization. The field approach can then be planned around the site's operating constraints and the specific information the engineering or construction team needs.

Yes, when the required standards are identified as part of the scope. Layering, feature coding, coordinate information, file structure, naming, attributes, and other digital-delivery requirements should be provided before fieldwork and drafting so the final files are built for the owner's workflow.
