This project includes: cadastral surveying to prepare Ontario Land Registry Office Reference Plans required to establish the partial limits of PWGSC land parcels and to describe easements to accommodate utility tunnels and buried hot/chill water pipes; determining elevations within the tunnels and on the surface; and the preparation of a Surveyor’s Real Property Report on select portions of the site.
