Need a Land Surveyor?
PLSC cannot recommend one surveyor over another. If you need a land surveyor, please go to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and download the list of Colorado licensed surveyors and also check for any disciplinary actions against a particular surveyor under the "Verify License Tab" on the DORA site. Certified Federal Surveyors are listed at www.cfeds.org/roster.asp. Be sure to check references for the surveyor you are considering hiring.

Qualified PLS needed
Posted January 05, 2019
I work for a consulting company with a relatively large oil and gas client for remediation of retail petroleum station releases. We have a project site in Colorado Springs with new monitoring wells requiring a vertical and horizontal survey. There is potential for various other surveying contracts at other sites in a portfolio of stations. Due to the client's subcontractor requirements, all subcontractor companies must have a drug and alcohol screening program. The testing program should include: pre-placement, for cause, post-accident, random and/or periodic testing (applied to a minimum of 25% of Covered Personnel with tests conducted at least quarterly; periodic drug testing must be no greater than annually). Additionally, possessing a current 40-Hour HAZWOPER and Defensive Driver Training is sought after to minimize variance requirements. If the above requirements can be met, please contact Ben Soloway by email at Benjamin.soloway@ghd.com or at (720) 974-0964. Thank you in advance for your help.

NGS has extended the date to Sept 21 for the GPS on Bm for the geoid model. NGS has added a dashboard with statistics about the GPS on BM information. It provides the number of stations identified, observed and percentage for both the A and B priority as well as the total %. We are making progress, but Colorado still has about 50% to go.https://geodesy.noaa.gov/GPSonBM/progress-update-table.shtml

When You Need a Land Survey
Member Spotlight
PLSC would like to introduce you to our members. If you would like to submit your photo and information for a future Spotlight, email the information to plsc@plsc.net.
Thomas Breitnauer is a Professional Land Surveyor for the Denver International Airport Survey Section. He has been involved in land surveying since 1985 and is experienced in all types of land surveying. Thomas is licensed in the States of Colorado (1994) and Arizona (2004). Since the introduction of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to land surveying in the mid-1990’s, Thomas has learned how to set up control networks, process fast static sessions and establish strict quality-control procedures for verification of data content and position. This experience is now benefiting Denver International Airport with the establishment of their own Virtual Reference System (VRS) and seasonal monitoring of Primary Airport Control.
Thomas is trained in the following programs; National Geodetic Survey (NGS) OPUS Projects, Trimble Business Center and Autodesk Civil 3D. Thomas attended Colorado State University from 1978 to 1981 and the University of Idaho from 1981 to 1982.
