Landmark’s land surveyors will perform as-built surveys for foundations, pilings, utilities, curbs, and anchor bolts, as requested.

Landmark’s land surveyors will perform a stormwater management (SWM) as-built survey and the engineering staff will review for design compliance.

Most construction projects in the state of Delaware are required by the State to have both an approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and an approved Stormwater Management Plan. A Certified Construction Reviewer (CCR) is required to monitor the construction and operation of these sediment and stormwater facilities for the duration of the project. The CCR must have a current State of Delaware, Sediment and Stormwater Management Certification to provide these services.

It is the responsibility of the owner/developer to provide a CCR on required sites, and the responsibility of the contractor to construct necessary controls and to communicate and cooperate with the CCR and DNREC or the delegated agency under established guidelines.

The CCR performs weekly sediment and stormwater reviews of the site and documents the findings in a specified report format. These weekly reports are reviewed by a registered and licensed supervisory Delaware Professional Engineer (PE) before forwarding to the appropriate monitoring agency. The CCR can work with you to avoid potential shutdowns due to non-compliance.

Relevant documents include: Chapter 12, Surface Water Management Code (New Castle County), Section 12 of the Delaware Sediment and Stormwater Regulations (revisions effective Feb. 2019), appropriate Stormwater Management Facility Construction Checklist(s), Pond Code 378, as amended for Delaware (USDA Soil Conservation Service), and additional technical and administrative guidelines and requirements may be required by the monitoring agency(s).

Landmark’s land surveyors are experienced with providing accurate stakeout of the site, stormwater BMPs, utilities, building, foundations, steel/anchor bolts, etc.

Landmark staff provides construction administration assistance including, but not limited to: preparation, submission, and follow up on required permits, interface with technical review agencies, preparation of construction cost estimates and construction documents, bidding assistance, review of shop drawings and material product submittals for compliance with project specifications, and contractor RFI services.

Landmark staff includes a Qualified Recognized Bog Turtle Surveyor certified to lead Phases I-III Bog Turtle Investigations in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Often agencies require construction monitoring in lieu of, or in addition to, investigations. Landmark’s Bog Turtle Surveyor and approved assistants have extensive experience providing construction monitoring and additional population monitoring studies including radio-telemetry.

Landmark provides engineering and habitat design for all of your stormwater facilities, and can also assist municipal and private property owners, property managers and civic/HOAs with their stormwater pond maintenance, and with semi-annual inspections of underground stormwater facilities at commercial properties, as required by New Castle County.
