Summit is an industrial and residential community along the Sanitary and Ship Canal corridor, with reinvestment ongoing in its commercial parcels. Redeveloping sites near the canal requires accurate elevation data before design. A topographic survey records the existing grades, utilities and drainage that shape the plan.
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.
About 11,200 residents live in Summit, which spans the Lyons and Stickney townships in western Cook County. Recorded plats and easement documents for the village are maintained by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The community lies within the Des Plaines River and canal drainage network, so grading and stormwater control frequently influence design. Topographic surveys give engineers the elevation and contour data needed to plan grading and detention on industrial and commercial parcels here.
