Glenwood is a south-suburban village of postwar homes and commercial areas near the Bloom Township corridor. Additions and site work here begin with a topographic survey of the lot’s grades and features. On its flat terrain, those elevations govern how runoff moves.
A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Glenwood is home to about 9,000 residents and spans the Bloom and Thornton townships in southern Cook County. Its deeds are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The village’s land is flat and drains toward the Calumet river system, so controlled grading matters whenever a lot is expanded or rebuilt. A topographic survey gives the design team the existing elevations and drainage flow paths needed to plan grading and detention that keep water moving off a Glenwood site properly.

Often yes; a topographic survey documents the existing grades so the addition and its drainage can be designed and permitted on the flat lot.
It records elevations and contours plus the house, driveway, walks, trees and surface drainage, delivered in CAD.
A boundary survey establishes property lines while a topographic survey maps elevations and features; the two are commonly ordered together.
