Our Most Distinguished Qualifications & Capabilities
Our staff has all contributed to two of our most distinguished qualifications; our Quality Assurance Program and the retention of highly qualified personnel.
Our Quality Assurance Program and Quality Control Procedures are based on a wide-range of surveying assignments performed over the past thirty (30) years for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, National Grid Energy, Verizon, the NYC Department of Design & Construction, NYS Department of Transportation and many engineering, architectural & construction firms. These proven procedures have allowed our firm to grow at a very manageable rate and still provide the accuracy and timely surveys the NY/NJ area Clients demand.
Our “True Crew of Surveyors”, includes a dedicated staff of eight (8) project managers, each with over 20 years of experience managing land and hydrographic projects at Rogers. Among them, we have two (2) Licensed Professional Engineers (P.E.), seven (7) New York and/or New Jersey State Licensed Land Surveyors (L.S.), five (5) Nationally Certified ACSM Hydrographers (C.H.), two (2) certified in Coastal Multibeam Surveying (UNB-OMG/UNH-COMM) and three (3) USCG Masters. Our staff can provide the proven experience in performing surveys with the foresight to successfully complete the most difficult assignments.
Our two most distinguishable capabilities have resulted from our commitment to regularly implement state-of-the-art equipment in all facets of our business over the past sixty years. Whether in the office or in the field, investments are made regularly to provide Clients with improved survey accuracy and shorter project turnaround time. Rogers offers each Client the latest technology and best-trained surveyors.
Our state-of-the-art equipment includes (2) Amphibious ARGO vehicles for wetland surveys, all equipped with a Notebook Computer /GPS System. (2) Trimble 4000 SSI RTK and (2) R8; (2) TRIMBLE 5602 Robotic Servo Total Stations, a Reson Hydrographic Multibeam System and (2) Amphibious LARC V with Sea Sled and GPS/ Notebook Computer. Rogers is equipped to handle almost any type of survey. Rogers has eight (8) fully trained and equipped surveying crew’s available daily and fifteen (15) workstations in-house with the most recent surveying software and hardware tools for post-processing data and plotting.
Our Commitment
Rogers Surveying typically fields six (6) topographic field crews and two (2) hydrographic field crews daily. We have already increased our output by utilizing (2) Trimble 5602 Robotic Total Stations and we anticipate even more from our newest investment in an R.T.K. base station at Rogers Surveying, here on Richmond Terrace. This base station ties Rogers into the New York Precision/Trimble Network, with base stations from Central New Jersey to Montauk, Long Island. With two Trimble R8 Total Stations and coverage area throughout most of the metropolitan area Rogers is excited about the opportunities ahead. The station has been in operation since July 2006 and used more and more each week. This investment will increase our manpower efficiency and also increase our work capacity annually. Rogers Surveying has provided services as outlined in this RFQ for the US Army Corps of Engineers and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for the past ten plus years and can continue to provide the manpower requirements to keep all task orders on schedule and within budget.
The “Red Rogers” a geophysical survey vessel continues to better address the growing need for environmental monitoring, accidents, underwater obstructions and site investigation surveys. Rogers has provided topographic and hydrographic emergency services in the past to the US Army Corps of Engineers and will continue to be “on call” for these important encounters. In recent years Rogers has performed vital surveys for the Staten Island Ferry crash, the Exxon-Mobil explosion in Port Mobil and accidental dump of scrap metal in the NY Harbor.
Whether providing a topographic, cadastral or hydrographic survey, Rogers Surveying provides each Client with a “Project Management Approach” that has been approved and expected by numerous federal, state and city agencies for the last decade. Our surveys will continue to have the accuracy, quick turnaround and complete deliverables all previous contracts have demanded.
