Experience:

Mr. Pepek has primarily worked with land developers and engineers in the Subdivision Platting Process. He has followed many projects from conceptual plan to final city or county approvals including residential, multifamily and commercial sites. These projects consistently started with a boundary/topographic survey for design and for planning purposes and were then followed up with the platting process, which consisted of a conceptual plan, preliminary plat and then the final plat.

 

In addition to helping Developers get through the platting process, Mr. Pepek has extensive knowledge of Right-of-Ways and Route Surveys, including many large road and pipeline projects. These projects have required the coordination of the crews for obtaining topographic information for design, Right-of-Way determination and producing final exhibits and property descriptions for the acquisition of additional Right-of-Way.

 

Lastly, Mr. Pepek has worked with many Engineering Firms in Northern Colorado on City and County Municipal Projects. In most cases Mr. Pepek discusses the scope of the project with the Lead Engineer and comes up with a scope of surveying services needed. He then provides the client with a cost proposal for the services. Once given the notice to proceed he coordinates the completion of the needed survey work and reviews the completed work for accuracy. Many of these projects include Topographic Survey for Roads, Water lines, Sanitary Sewer and Drainage improvements.

Experience

Mr. Lund began his surveying experience in 1982 working for a small land surveying company in Gillette, Wyoming. He was responsible for drafting and fieldwork in this position and worked on a variety of projects such as, coal mine boundaries, subdivisions, oil field locations, topographic surveys, and construction staking. From 1985 through 1988, Mr. Lund obtained employment at a large coal mining operation, primarily as a draftsman, but also has experiences involving mine surveying and environmental engineering inspections.

 

From 1988 through 1998, Mr. Lund was employed primarily as a party chief by an engineering/land surveying company in South Dakota. The types of projects he routinely completed included state & county road grading projects, topographic surveys, boundary surveys, mortgage inspection surveys, and subdivision construction staking. Mr. Lund obtained his license as a Professional Land Surveyor in the state of South Dakota in 1996 and started to prepare boundary surveys and subdivision plats at that time while maintaining his party chief duties.

 

In 1998, Mr. Lund moved to Colorado and began working at Drexel Barrell coordinating field crews and providing construction stakeout data. He soon began working on other types of projects such as Land Survey Plats, ALTA/ACSM surveys and subdivision and annexation platting. Mr. Lund obtained his Professional Land Surveyors License in Colorado during December 2000. He is currently employed as a project manager and is active in all phases of boundary surveying. His workload includes preparation of legal descriptions, subdivision platting, ALTA/ACSM surveys and land survey plats.
