Vernon Hills was largely built as a planned community and keeps evolving through commercial and residential redevelopment. Reshaping any of that ground begins with a topographic survey capturing how the land actually sits. Those elevations drive the grading, drainage and structural decisions that follow.
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.
Vernon Hills has a population near 27,000 and spans the Vernon and Libertyville townships in Lake County. Its records are filed through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and the county seat is Waukegan. The village lies in the Des Plaines River watershed, where FEMA flood hazard areas affect lower-lying parcels and detention ponds are common. For additions and commercial redevelopment, a topo documents the true fall of the land so drainage plans route runoff to an approved outlet.
Order one before design begins on additions, redevelopment or regrading, since engineers need accurate elevations to plan the work and its drainage.
Contour lines, spot elevations, existing buildings and pavement, visible utilities, trees and surface drainage flow, all to scale.
No; the two cover different questions, and projects near setbacks often combine both.
