ZOO PROJECTS
ZOO CIVIL ENGINEERING & LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
Lea & Braze Engineering provides comprehensive civil engineering and land surveying services for zoos throughout California. From early planning and habitat design support to construction staking and final completion surveys, our team delivers precise data and dependable collaboration at every stage.
ZOO EXHIBIT SERVICES
Topographic Surveys for Exhibits & Pathways
Topographic surveys provide the detailed elevation data needed to properly plan zoo exhibits, pathways, and visitor infrastructure. Using advanced GPS equipment and ground surveying techniques, our team maps slopes, drainage patterns, and existing site features to support thoughtful design and efficient construction planning
Construction Staking for Enclosures
Construction staking ensures that every element of an exhibit or facility is built in the correct location according to approved plans. Our surveyors mark key points on-site for contractors, helping teams construct enclosures, pathways, utilities, and buildings with precision and efficiency.
Habitat Grading and Drainage Plans
Monitoring surveys help track site conditions throughout construction and over time. Our team measures movement, settlement, and elevation changes to ensure structures and improvements remain stable and perform as intended.
Erosion Control Plans
Proper grading and drainage are essential for maintaining healthy habitats and safe visitor environments. Lea & Braze Engineering develops grading and drainage plans that manage stormwater, prevent erosion, and support long-term site stability while protecting exhibit landscapes.
Zoo Utility & Irrigation Design
Zoo facilities rely on carefully coordinated utilities to support irrigation systems, water features, lighting, and operational infrastructure. We work with project teams to design and coordinate utility layouts that support reliable performance while meeting regulatory requirements.
Final Completion & Compliance Surveys
Completion surveys verify that construction has been completed according to approved plans and specifications. Our surveyors document final site conditions and improvements, providing the information needed for project closeout, compliance verification, and long-term property records.
