Brian Franetovich, Senior Project Surveyor
Brian is a registered Surveyor-in-Training, who excels in both the field and office aspects of surveying. A longtime interest in land surveying led him to seek out one of the few colleges in New Jersey to offer a degree program in surveying, and has an Associate’s degree in land surveying technology. He currently is working on a degree in Geography & Regional Planning so he may better assist our clients by, for example, incorporating GIS data into our surveys.
He has unique experience performing beach nourishment and beach erosion surveys using RTK GPS in conjunction with amphibious vehicles along the coastline of Northern New Jersey and Long Island. He also was a party chief that conducted hydrographic surveys for dredging projects in Oregon, Washington, California, & Hawaii.
Brian is a field-to-finish surveyor who oversees the other surveyors in the firm. He frequently is assigned projects that require accurate location of boundaries & easements in the preparation of topographic & boundary plans. His expertise includes the knowledge of all the current software the office uses along with the operation of the robotic total stations.

Derrick Boudreau, Project Surveyor
We are very sad to say that Derrick, a long time member of our group, is no longer with us. He passed away in April of 2012. He was a great person and a great surveyor. He helped shape not only our company, but each one of us; and there is no doubt that he will be missed.
Twiki, Head Robot
Twiki is one of our two Leica 1205+ Series robotic total stations. His main role with the company is to ensure accuracy and efficiency. As part of our robotic team he allows us to operate two field survey teams simultaneously. Twiki also can carry out even the most complex tasks, better and more efficiently than those before him, especially when combined with his GPS unit.
As you can see from his photo, Twiki enjoys spending time outdoors and enjoys hiking, math, geometry and gadgets.
