Highland Engineering & Surveying

Highland Engineering & Surveying is a civil engineering and land surveying firm at 1426 Memorial Drive in Oakland. It has served Western Maryland and North Central West Virginia since 1992, working for individuals, businesses and government clients on everything from a residence location drawing for a lender to a 2,500-acre planned residential development.

Surveying and Mapping

If you are buying land, building near the lake or settling a boundary question, the firm's surveying work covers:

• Property research and boundary surveys
• Topographic surveys and mapping
• Flood limits, wetland limits and elevation certificates
• Construction layout and stakeout

Permits, Planning and Septic Design

The firm says its specialty is guiding clients through permit and approval processes. Its published services include minor and major subdivisions, townhouse and condominium plats, zoning exhibits, erosion and sediment control, grading, stormwater management, State Highway access, wetland and stream-crossing permits, and flood plain work. That matters in Garrett County, where many lots need an alternative septic system: Highland designs sand mound, gravel mound, BAT (nitrogen removal), low pressure dose and peat biofiltration systems.

Engineering From Start to Finish

Beyond surveying, the firm lists structural work (subsurface investigation, foundation design, retaining wall systems), municipal water and wastewater design, recreation projects such as trails, athletic fields and snow tubing areas, and construction-phase services like drawing interpretation, inspection and record drawings. Its client list includes homeowners, home owner associations, marinas, realtors, contractors and landscapers.

If you have a lot to survey or a project that needs permits, call the Oakland office to talk it through.
