Volo has grown quickly from a rural crossroads into newer subdivisions and commercial development. Building on that transitioning ground starts with a topographic survey capturing how a parcel actually sits. Those elevations drive the grading, drainage and structural planning 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.
Volo is home to about 6,000 residents and spans the Wauconda, Fremont and Grant townships, reaching into McHenry County. Within Lake County, deeds are filed through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, and the county seat is Waukegan. The village lies in the Fox River drainage near the Chain O’Lakes, where FEMA flood hazard areas affect low-lying parcels. As Volo’s newer subdivisions fill in, a topo captures existing grades so each site is graded to move stormwater to a legal outfall from the start.
If you are building or developing a site, engineers usually need topographic data to design grading and drainage, so a topo is commonly required.
Contours, spot elevations, existing improvements, visible utilities, trees and the direction of surface drainage, all drawn to scale.
A boundary survey defines property lines while a topographic survey captures the land’s shape; new construction often needs both.
