Land
& Sea Surveying Concepts
is
a full-service land and hydrographic surveying firm providing multi-disciplined
surveying services since 1992. Our staff has an average experience of over 20
years providing conventional, hydrographic, and GPS (static and RTK) surveying.
We are located on the
central East coast of Florida, but have surveyed as far away as
Ascension Island in the South Atlantic. Our crews and equipment can be mobilized
to your site, no matter where it is. Our team prides itself on our attention
to detail and customer service while providing accurate and efficient
products.
Land & Sea Surveying was established in 1992 as a full-service multi-disciplined surveying firm. Since our inception, we have completed thousands of surveys and worked for many governmental entities including the Sebastian Inlet District, the Jupiter Inlet District, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the St. Augustine Port, Waterway & Beach District, the Canaveral Port Authority, the City of Ft. Pierce, the City of Miami, and the City of Gulfport. We understand the service and deliverable required by a government client. The principal, Tim Carlile, holds Professional Surveyor licenses in five states (Florida, Geogia, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas) and is a registered Land Surveyor in the US Virgin Islands. He is also a USCG Operator of Unispected Vessels Certification (Six Pack Captain) with a pending ACSM Hydrographer certification.
Our experience covers, but is not limited to, upland and submerged land lease boundaries, topographic surveys, hydrographic, bathymetric, and as-built surveys. We are also experienced on remote operated vessels (ROV), Ultra Short Base Line (USBL) diver positioning and tracking systems, Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) sensors, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), wave meters and tide gauges. Land & Sea Surveying prides itself on its commitment to maintaning a complete knowledge of the practice of surveying and the new technology as it emerges and implementing this knowledge to provide the highest level of service to our clients.
Land & Sea Surveying now uses a wireless and baseless RTK GPS surveying system for all GPS surveying applications, upland and onboard our hydrographic surveying vessels. The system uses reference stations all over the state of Florida as well as the Southeast United States. Using this system, we would be able to survey the entire intracoastal waterway with both the hydrographic survey vessel and a land-based GPS survey crew without setting up a base or losing reception due to distance from the base. Having the RTK GPS tied to the hydrographic survey system provides vertical positioning as well as horizontal, to subcentimeter accuracies. This eliminates the need to rely on tide stations while providing a greater level of accuracy in areas of extreme tidal variations.
Qualifications
Tim Carlile, PLS (LS5170) has held an active license as a Professional Land Surveyor in the state of Florida since February 17, 1993, and has since acquired licenses in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and US Virgin Islands.
The following list summarizes our firm’s specialized qualifications:
- Florida registered Professional Surveying Firm since March 1993
- Principal licensed as Professional Surveyor and Mapper since February 1993
- Meets Federal and State requirements for Small Business
- Certified Small Business with South Florida Water Management District
- Personnel experience totaling over 100 years
Recent Projects
Building on these minimum qualifications, Land & Sea Surveying’s experience makes it a very highly qualified firm. The following are recent projects representative of the services provided by Land & Sea Surveying:
Sebastian Inlet, Tide Pool and Dredged Material Management Area - May 2011
In May 2011, we completed a project with the Sebastian Inlet District that consisted of maintenance dredging of the tide pool area and constructing a Dredged Material Management Area (DMMA). We have worked with the District from the beginning of this project establishing a lease parcel boundary of the proposed area and conducting a topographic survey with wetland and tree location for design of the DMMA. We provided construction staking for the installation of silt fencing, of the contours for dredging, for the construction of the DMMA berm and drainage structures, and location of the transformer pad. Final as-built surveys were completed for the tide pool area and the DMMA with all submittals being accepted by the permitting agencies.
Jupiter Inlet, Channel and Inlet Dredge Survey and South Beachside Fill - March 2011
Land & Sea also recently completed a project in Jupiter for the Jupiter Inlet District. The project consisted of dredging the inlet channel and sand trap area and placing fill on the beach south of the inlet. This was a two phase project with Phase I completed in early 2010 and Phase II completed in March 2011. Land & Sea Surveying provided stake-out for the beach fill area as well as hydrographic surveys of the dredge areas. Surveys were completed for pre-construction conditions, interim and post-construction conditions with cross-sections and material quantities.
Gulf of Mexico - HYPACK Navigation and Environmental Sampling - Sept. 2010 Ongoing Project
In September 2010, Land & Sea Surveying began working on a project in the Gulf of Mexico which involved using HYPACK to navigate 165 to 210 foot vessels and collecting environmental samples, operating ROV with HD video and soil sampling equipment, testing with CTD Sensor, and mapping with multi-beam hydrographic system. This project is ongoing.
St. Lucie Inlet, Martin County - USACE Project ICWW/OWW Maintenance Dredging
From November 2009 to March 2010, Land & Sea Surveying worked on the USACE project ICWW/OWW Maintenance Dredging, Cross-Roads, Martin County. We provided staking of the proposed dredge area as well as hydrographic surveys for pre-constuction conditions, interim surveys for completed sections, and as-built surveys with quantity calculations at each stage. Surveys were also performed of the spoil area.
Naples, FL - USACE Dredge of Martin's Pass Pre/Interim/Post Construction Surveys - April 2011
In April 2010, Land & Sea Surveying began a USACE project in Naples, Florida. This project consisted of dredging 2,100 linear feet of the channel at Gordon Pass. Land & Sea Surveying provided pre-construction, interim and post-construction surveys. Deliverables were provided meeting the USACE standards and included plan view, cross-sections and quantities.
St. Augustine, FL - Salt Run Inlet Hydrographic Survey - 2009
Land & Sea worked with Taylor Engineering to provide pre-design Hydrographic Surveys of the Salt Run area at St. Augustine Inlet. We then worked with the contractor to quantify the amount of material removed from the dredge area. This project required an innovative approach to ensure that the contractor met the specifications of the design. The material in the dredge area was so soft that as soon as the dredge pulled material out, it sloughed back in from the sides. The hydrographic survey using acoustics did not show any significant change, even when performed immediately after dredging. Land & Sea Surveying negotiated on behalf of the dredger and the St. Augustine Port District. The dredge contractor agreed to document the number of barge loads removed using Hypack targets and date/time stamped photographs. Land & Sea Surveying calculated the quantity of material removed by number of barge loads and volume of the barge. We additionally performed acoustic surveys of the area verifying that dredging was being performed in the designated dredge area and showing quantity differences from the barge count to the acoustic measurement.

Sebastian Inlet, FL - Semi-Annual Topographic/Hydrographic Survey - 2004 to Present
Twice each year, Land & Sea Surveying performs a topographic/hydrographic survey at the Sebastian Inlet. The survey area covers the channel from the Intracoastal Waterway to an area approximately 2,000 feet by 4,000 feet, encompassing the sand trap and shoals in the Indian River, through the inlet, then approximately six miles to the north and south. On the north side of the inlet and the south 13,000 feet of the south side (R-17 to R-30), beach profiles from the top of dune out to a depth of 40 feet are done every 1,000 feet. For the first 17,000 feet (R-1 to R-17) on the south side of the inlet the survey is performed in a manner to provide 100% coverage utilizing upland GPS surveying methods, near-shore single-beam hydrographic collection and multi-beam survey of the offshore area.
The survey is used by the Inlet District in developing the Inlet Management Plan, which is updated annually to address issues such as sand bypassing, changes to the shoreface, coastal erosion, navigation and environmental issues. Inlet management planning is an ongoing project. The goal of this project is to assemble existing data sets collected by the Sebastian Inlet District and its consultants into an interactive GIS and remote sensing database that can be used to examine long-term trends and shorter-term variability of the beach, shoreface and overall sand budget of Sebastian Inlet. The database is used to assemble shoreline change data, volumetric data and morphologic data that is used in calculations and predictive models to quantify the littoral sand budget and predict the potential for impacts during severe storms. The database will also drive models to simulate the potential for morphologic changes in the barrier island shoreface and tidal inlet shoals. The final product of the project is a comprehensive 'State of the Inlet' report that is updated on an annual basis to quantify year to year conditions and thus provide a flexible and dynamic management tool. Land & Sea Surveying has been working with the Sebastian Inlet District since 2004.
Titusville, FL - Submarine Cable Location for Qwest Communication
Land & Sea Surveying was called upon to locate a subaqueous cable in the Indian River at the Max Brewer bridge. Reconstruction of the fishing pier destroyed in past hurricanes had begun and the contractor almost hit the cable upon sinking the first piling. The owner of the utility requested that we mark the location of the utility. We were called on a Thursday and completed the location and marking by Sunday. The owner of the utility was provided with a surveying showing the underwater mapping in the area of the cable and the exact location of the cable with an aerial background. The survey drawing also included a chart with coordinates of the cable location.
Ft. Pierce , FL - City Marina Project and Moores Creek
In 2004, Land & Sea Surveying began working with the City of Ft. Pierce on several projects for their City Marina. The project was originally for dredging of a north entrance channel to the marina, however, due to the storms that caused significant damage to the area at the scheduled start of the project, Land & Sea Surveying also assisted with locating obstacles in front of the marina. Following the channel construction project, we continue to provide surveys for the maintenance of the marina basin, Moores Creek and the entrance channel with the most recent survey completed in May 2010.
Various Locations, Atlantic Coast - Surfbreak Engineering, Inc
Land & Sea Surveying has worked with Surfbreak Engineering, Inc. and Dr. William Dally over the years on several coastal engineering projects. We assisted with wave meter installation and retrieval projects along the Atlantic coast from Lake Worth to Jacksonville, setting the vertical and horizontal position of the meter using RTK GPS in addition to providing divers and vessels. Land & Sea also worked with Dr. Dally on current studies in the St. Johns River in Jacksonville and Salt Run at the St. Augustine inlet. We assisted in collection of current data using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) and current meters. Data collected was utilized in the design of templates for dredging projects.

Equipment
 |
Land & Sea Surveying strives to remain at the forefront of technology in its equipment. We have recently acquired the latest in RTK GPS surveying which utilizes cell phone and Bluetooth technology for communication and a network (eGPS) covering the Southeast United States for positioning. The reference stations replace the base and the cell phone technology allows the system to jump from station to station which means we can continue surveying without any distance limitations. This system achieves sub-centimeter accuracies. In addition, the new equipment is less cumbersome – lightweight with no cabling. We also have the use of GLONASS and SBAS satellites in addition to the US satellites which limits downtime from lack of satellite reception. For our client, this means that we can provide greater efficiency without losing accuracy. Land & Sea Surveying utilizes the Ashtech/Magellan RTK GPS system for land-based surveying and in conjunction with our hydrographic survey system. |
