At Davis Engineering and Surveying (DES), we’re dedicated to delivering top-notch engineering and surveying services to our clients, local government, and state authorities. Part of how we do this is by maintaining Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) prequalifications. These credentials mean that we’re authorized and qualified to provide specialized services for a variety of essential improvement and development projects across Georgia. With our current GDOT prequalifications—and an exciting lineup of new ones—DES is ready to tackle even more unique and challenging projects.

 Our Current GDOT Prequalifications

Our growing project expertise, coupled with our GDOT prequalifications, enable us to offer specialized service and quality assurance to our local and state government clients. Here’s a closer look at the GDOT credentials we currently hold:

• Landscape Architecture (3.08): We design functional, sustainable landscapes that enhance infrastructure including beautification, revegetation, or tree protection plans.
• Land Surveying (5.01): Our land surveying expertise ensures that property boundaries are designated with precision—crucial for legal, conceptual, construction, and design phases.  Our experienced surveyors also provide project support during development with construction layout services.
• Engineering Surveying (5.02): For any engineering project, accurate site surveys are essential. Our engineering surveying services provide accurate, thorough survey data for construction planning and development.
• Geodetic Surveying (5.03): This high-precision surveying allows us to create reliable data over large areas, making it invaluable for mapping large projects or roadways and utility planning.
• Topographic Remote Sensing (SONAR) (5.06d): With SONAR technology, we map underwater environments, which is critical for waterfront development or infrastructure near bodies of water.
• Soil Surveys (6.01a): By understanding the unique qualities of different soils, we help clients plan for sustainability and safety on their sites.

Expanding Our Services: New GDOT Prequalifications

We’re thrilled to be adding even more GDOT prequalifications, which bring new capabilities and expand the ways we can serve our clients:

• Aerial Photography (UAS) (5.04b): Using photogrammetry drone equipment, we capture high-quality imagery for both conceptual and design grade project planning, which adds value in everything from site feasibility studies to final design.
• Topographic Remote Sensing (UAS LiDAR) (5.06c): Using UAS-based (unmanned aircraft system) LiDAR technology, we can produce concept and design grade topographic maps, essential for projects in rugged or complex terrains that require high-quality, survey-grade data.
• Cartography (5.07): This qualification, coupled with our land surveying expertise, supports creation of precise maps tailored to project needs, supporting master planning.

While these prequalifications are newly added to our resume, DES is no stranger to providing professional, quality service in these areas. These new qualifications allow us to expand our service offerings to local and state government agencies and provide advanced solutions like UAS LiDAR and photogrammetry, making DES even more versatile and capable of meeting complex project needs.

Our Impact on Georgia’s Infrastructure

Our GDOT prequalifications allow us to make a meaningful impact on both local and statewide infrastructure projects, whether for public works, private developments, or environmental management. With expertise in areas like erosion control, geodetic surveying, and remote sensing, DES is positioned to support sustainable growth across Georgia.

From rural roads to urban redevelopment, our GDOT prequalifications ensure we’re equipped to handle diverse project needs and comply with GDOT standards, making us a trusted partner in building a better Georgia.
