Zion sits at the county’s northeast corner with a laid-out grid, open land and steady residential and industrial activity. Any construction on that ground starts with a topographic survey recording exactly how a parcel sits. Those elevations feed 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.
Zion is home to roughly 25,000 people and spans the Zion and Benton townships in Lake County. The county seat is Waukegan, and deeds are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office. The city lies in the Des Plaines River watershed, where FEMA flood hazard areas touch some low-lying parcels. For new construction and site work, a topo captures existing grades so stormwater is managed to a legal outfall from the start.
If you are building, adding on 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.
