Riverdale is a far south community with industrial districts and residential neighborhoods near the Calumet waterways. Redeveloping parcels close to these low-lying corridors requires accurate elevation data. A topographic survey records the grades, utilities and drainage the design must account for.
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.
Riverdale counts about 10,700 residents across the Thornton and Calumet townships in southern Cook County. Recorded plats and easement documents for the village are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The community lies within the Little Calumet River portion of the Calumet system, so floodplain awareness and stormwater control strongly shape design. Topographic surveys give engineers the elevation base needed to plan grading and detention on these low-lying parcels.

Riverdale sits near the Little Calumet River, where a site’s elevation relative to the floodplain drives design decisions. A topographic survey establishes those grades so engineers can plan appropriately.
