Celebrating our First-Class Survey Team – Surveyors Week 2022
Surveyors Week is March 20-26, 2022! Put on by the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), Surveyors Week is a time to recognize professionals in the industry and educate the public.
TFM is celebrating by recognizing our first-class survey team:
Licensed Land Surveyors: Thomas Berube, LLS, RPLS, PLS | Stephen Bibeau, LLS | Corey Colwell, LLS | Michael Dahlberg, LLS, RPLS, PLS | Brenda Kolbow, LLS, PLS | Hans Mertsch Jr., LLS, PLS | Mo Vander Pol III, LLS
Field Technicians & Crew: Robert Bradshaw, Mike Burt, Patrick Day, Todd Emerson, Marty Gavin, Morgan Hershey, Aaron Lamond, Jonathan Rahilly, Rich Ward, and Tom Wood.
All engineering design is ultimately based on accurate survey data. Whether it takes place outdoors or indoors; it all begins with a survey – having an accurate picture of the existing conditions – and ends with survey – making sure the work is built in the right place. That is why we at TFMoran are proud to recognize National Surveyors Week. Our history of combining the best in survey with the best in engineering stretches back over 50 years.
Our surveyors are a crucial part of the TFMoran Team, providing clients and engineers with the precise measurements they need for a successful project. We would like to recognize the dedication and outstanding work of our Survey Department Managers: Mike Dahlberg, LLS, RPLS, PLS, and Brenda Kolbow, LLS, PLS. We appreciate all that they do!
