1 Exploring the boundaries of your built and natural world Geomatics

2 Before the Luxor brought magic to the Las Vegas strip and before the South LRT extension in Edmonton gave residents a new route to travel, we were there laying the groundwork.

3 We explore the boundaries of your world to help you create a safe, effective, and accurate map for success. From remote environments to urban landscapes, we venture confidently into uncharted physical spaces, gathering, interpreting, and displaying spatial data that will keep your project moving forward.

4

5 On, above, and beneath the earth s surface, we provide surveying and mapping services that define the natural and built elements of the places we live. Geomatics is the union of old and new. Traditional techniques are combined with state-of-the-art technology to collect, process, analyze, display, and manage spatial information. Whether it s recovering physical evidence in the field, interpreting old documents, or using the latest software in our offices, we re equipped with the right mix of tools and expertise to guide you through projects of every size and scope. Having accurate and timely information is vital when exploring boundaries. At any stage of the project life cycle, we collect data and turn it into information that saves you time and costs. We stake out reference points to guide construction, create 3D graphics to guide the design of transportation and infrastructure projects, and produce digital terrain maps that show what lies beneath the surface of water bodies. We answer the unique logistical and technical challenges of each project, and help you use this information to make informed decisions.

7 Knowing where to draw the line Boundary Surveys The division of land has economic and legal implications. We help you set boundaries that meet required standards. Our land surveyors oversee every aspect of boundary survey work from records research, monument survey ties, and boundary calculations to final map, exhibit, and legal descriptions preparation. Utilizing conventional and GPS equipment, specialty software, and applying our local knowledge of project locations, we produce maps that are accurate and legally sound. Cadastral & Retracement Surveys Cadastral retracement surveys are required for all projects that occur on U.S. public lands and are often needed for private lands in otherwise unsurveyed rural areas. Our surveyors use current Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Manual of Instructions for Public Lands standards to research and interpret original field notes and plats, and to retrace and recover original monuments in the subdividing of lands. ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys As advisors knowledgeable in ALTA/ACSM mapping requirements and local conditions, we work beside you, helping you stay informed and thoroughly document your project site's conditions. Using research and field surveying techniques, we produce ALTA/ ACSM Land Title Survey maps that present a property s legal components (e.g., record boundary, easements, rights-of-way), conditions of improvements, and potential patterns of use. Route Surveys Unsure where your long-line route survey project is going? We can help you get your bearings. Using specialized expertise in route surveys, we navigate challenges like long distances, widely varying terrain, and land use conditions. Geodetic survey principles, coordinate systems, and special access, safety, and logistical considerations are key markers that help us find the best route to success.

8 Having a stake in the outcome Construction Stakeout The construction of a new building, road, residential development, or transmission line is a complex task. We help guide and verify your project by staking out reference points and consider everything from topography and existing structures to underground infrastructure. Topographical Mapping Planning, analysis, and design of projects large and small is more successful when you have reliable base mapping. We use aerial mapping and a range of ground-based survey techniques to measure the three-dimensional locations of natural and man-made features. With this data and specialized software, we create precise topographic maps that help lead you in the right direction. Geodetic & Control Surveys Our geodetic and control surveys put you in a position to make more informed decisions. Using expertise and technology ranging from localized control networks for construction and mapping, to permanent high-precision control stations useful in regional or nationwide control networks, we seek out results that help you establish more accurate positions. Aerial Photogrammetry Get a clear outline of your project and improve its efficiency, coordination, and cost-effectiveness with photogrammetry. We offer expertise in aerial triangulation, digital terrain modeling, digital image stereo compilation, and orthophotography, with standalone or integrated services that range from drawings of simple planimetric features to detailed 3D terrain modeling. Our field survey crews support this aerial mapping process with precision ground control and mapping quality control procedures. Geographic Information Systems Every natural feature, constructed element, and aspect of a legal boundary has spatial data that can be collected, stored, and analyzed. We help you access this information quickly and easily using geographic information systems (GIS). With our spatial databases that support effective analysis, presentation, and management of this data, custom programming, system implementation, and end-user training, you can make more informed decisions.

10 Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Beneath our feet is a maze of underground utility networks. We save you money and time by using SUE during design and construction to reveal any unexpected underground utilities. Applying electromagnetic equipment, ground penetrating radar, and physical potholing, our technicians accurately identify these utilities and then convert the field data into CAD files that show the position of critical utilities within a 3D pre-design drawing. Hydrographic Surveys It s important to know what lies beneath the water s surface when you re designing a bridge or canal, performing an environmental impact assessment, or analyzing water intake design or reservoir volume. We use a diverse fleet of watercraft to conduct hydrographic surveys that help you map shorelines, bed surfaces, and water volume. Integrating depth soundings with GPS positions, we generate digital terrain models, cross-sections, and water volumes that paint a clear, accurate picture. 3D Laser Scanning When you need rapid data collection techniques for high definition and precision, 3D laser scanning (3DLS) is the answer. Scanning instruments generate highly detailed information that accurately captures natural features and the built environment. Ideal for remote or hazardous spaces, 3DLS can help guide transportation and infrastructure project design, produce as-built surveys, take industrial site inventory, and thoroughly document historic architecture. Environmental Surveying Our environmental surveying services are ideal for a wide variety of projects and affects decision-making across industries (e.g., remediation projects, wetland location surveys, soil sampling events, stream-bank stabilization surveys). Through 3D digital terrain maps, we can help you understand, and meet, regulations.

11 There s more to our work than what s on the surface

12 Design with community in mind We re active members of the communities we serve. That s why at Stantec, we always design with community in mind. The Stantec community unites more than 15,000 employees working in over 250 locations. We collaborate across disciplines and industries to bring buildings, energy and resource, and infrastructure projects to life. Our work professional consulting in planning, engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, project management, and project economics begins at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships. Since 1954, our local strength, knowledge, and relationships, coupled with our world-class expertise, have allowed us to go anywhere to meet our clients needs in more creative and personalized ways. With a long-term commitment to the people and places we serve, Stantec has the unique ability to connect to projects on a personal level and advance the quality of life in communities across the globe. Stantec trades on the TSX and the NYSE under the symbol STN.
