“From Tidelands Surveys to Drone Topography—A Full-Service Partner from Planning to Final Stakeout.”
Client Challenge
A complex, high-profile development in Southern New Jersey required expert surveying and geospatial services—delivered in multiple phases—over nearly four years. The project demanded not only technical capabilities but also long-term commitment, flexibility, and insight into the broader development goals.
DPK’s Role
Starting in late 2020, DPK Consulting joined the professional team as the project survey. With its deep field team, internal CAD drafting expertise, and cutting-edge technologies like UAS surveying, DPK approached the project not as a task list, but as a strategic partner.
Leadership Insight:
“The trick on this large project was staying on top of the overall goals while being plugged in and out over a long period of time,” says James Heiser, President and CEO. “We always want to understand the ‘why’ behind the work. It adds depth, efficiency and ultimately better results. Think of it this way,” adds Mr. Heiser, The Tac Pal NAI Logistics Center was massive brownfield development project that created hundreds of jobs for the Palmyra community. It created open space, wetlands and shoreland restoration dramatically improving quality of life for people in this area. If that’s not enough motivation to pay attention and do great work, I’m not sure what is?”.
