Traditionally, Santo Associates has provided a wide range of surveying, engineering and land planning services. Today, more than ever, our firm can assist our clients from feasibility study and conceptual layout, through the municipal approval process, and into detailed design and construction. With the attentiveness and rate structure of a smaller firm and the experience and breadth of services of a larger firm, Santo Associates is considered unique in the industry.
Santo Associates is constantly striving to use today's technology to the benefit of our clients. Each of the company's full-time field survey crews is equipped with modern "total stations" and electronic data collectors. Additionally, each crew vehicle and each office is equipped with a modern mobile communication system, thus enabling the offices and field personnel to be in contact virtually at any time and place. This permits Santo Associates to respond quickly to the changing and unexpected needs of our clients and also gives field personnel access to our extensive office computer system. The Santo Associates' Surveying Department has also taken a leadership role in the area of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite surveying. Santo Associates owns and operates state-of-the-art GPS receivers and software and its personnel have set thousands of GPS control points for hundreds of miles of GPS based surveys in real world coordinates with minimal point occupation time and exceptional accuracy.
Santo Associates' charter will continue to stress direct project involvement by our principals and to place the company's emphasis on quality and client satisfaction. To date the results of this focus has been that a high percentage of our projects are from previously satisfied clients. We consider this to be testimony of a successful system, one that is continuously monitored and refined in response to the changing needs of our clients.
