Our survey crews are fully equipped with the latest total-station and Global Positioning System (GPS) survey equipment. As a result, we are able to provide a variety of legal and engineering surveying services to our clients in Burlington, Kitchener, London, Stratford, and the surround areas.
As one of the pioneers in the use of Total Station survey equipment, we have developed our own software called MTE-FSP (Field Survey Processor). In short, the software is utilized for processing Total Station field surveys and automatically generating base plans, complete with symbols and annotation. This software has been licensed to all of the municipalities in Waterloo Region for their own survey crews.
As members of the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors (AOLS), we can carry out legal boundary (cadastral) surveys in Ontario. As such, MTE provides legal surveying services under the subsidiary MTE Ontario Land Surveyors Ltd.
