MLA specializes in developing and maintaining control networks for a wide range of engineering, design, and construction projects. Below are examples of the types of control networks we have established:
MUNICIPAL GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) CONTROL NETWORKS
MLA collaborates with municipal GIS departments to design and construct durable horizontal and vertical ground control networks. These networks serve as foundational frameworks for new engineering and surveying projects. Many cities face challenges with existing physical GIS ground control monuments, which may no longer be inter-visible or have been impacted by construction activities. MLA offers expertise in densifying, mapping, and analyzing data from these networks.
CONSTRUCTION SITE AND PHASED DEVELOPMENT CONTROL NETWORKS
MLA develops control networks to meet the requirements of construction companies’ internal engineering departments for large-scale, phased engineering, design, and construction projects. We possess extensive experience in calculating and setting structural building controls for complex and unusually large building designs. Construction firms rely on our field control services, data analysis capabilities, and mapped reports to fulfill project specifications or verify controls set by other entities.
MONITORING CONTROL NETWORKS
MLA implements effective strategies to monitor critical structures through comprehensive mapping and reporting. This includes monitoring quantities for excavation projects or assessing movement in dams, levees, retaining walls, foundations, and other natural or manmade features.
