Giffels Webster provided topographic mapping and boundary surveys for approximately 80 acres of high-density urban land lying adjacent to I-75 and I-375 in the City of Detroit. We worked closely with the MDOT Real Estate Division and Metro Engineering Division to reconfigure the existing rights of way, prepare legal description, and sketches for both land assemblages.
ALTA surveys were prepared for each parcel to allow for the sale of land from the Stadium Authority to the Lions and Tigers organizations. These surveys identified easements, properly lines and encroachments and were the basis for street and right-of-way vacations.
Detailed topographic and utility surveys were also conducted. Spot elevations were obtained for use in design of the stadiums and parking facilities. All utilities were investigated, located, and addressed including but not limited to: water main, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and franchise utilities.
Ford Field received a 2003 CREW Detroit Impact Award.
