Can you spot the surveyor? 👀

Our field crews go through all kinds of terrain, but sometimes what you think is an easy job in an empty field can turn into a serious hike if it's as overgrown as this one!

Nevertheless, our crews are always working diligently to get accurate measurements. Call us today at 713-462-6100 if you need a survey!

Today we're highlighting one of our favorite past projects! Tetra handled surveying and platting for the redevelopment of Houston's historic Heights Waterworks.

Although it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the buildings had been neglected and the lot was underdeveloped when the project began. Now, they function as prime commercial real estate and Tetra is proud to have been a part of this transformation into a new Houston hotspot!

Click through to see some impressive before and afters, and ways the project has preserved the heritage of the site.

Tetra hydrological engineer Dwayne E. Culp, PhD, PE, CFM is back with another blog post filled with advice on developing land in the floodplain.
