Who We Are

TEC Land Surveying P.C. is a professional consulting firm specializing in surveying, geomatics, mapping, and layout services for transportation, infrastructure, environmental, property/right of way, development, and construction projects.  We work with public and private clients throughout New York and our project portfolio ranges from large municipal engineering and construction projects to complex boundary and right of way surveys. 

TEC was founded in 2010 by Thomas E. Cerchiara, PLS, when he purchased Heinsman Land Surveying PC, a firm with over 30 years of surveying experience. For ten years prior to this Mr. Cerchiara had worked for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and with some of the largest surveying and engineering firms in the world. Mr. Cerchiara and the employees of TEC have combined a strong background of municipal surveying and complex boundary experience with over 60 years of regional surveying records and knowledge to provide complete surveying and mapping solutions for a variety of clients and project types.

At TEC we approach each project individually and with a full understanding of the specific requirements of our client. We work closely with our clients to determine exactly what is needed. This allows us to use the best and most efficient methods of data collection and processing; be it traditional surveying, GPS, HDS scanning, LiDAR, or the newest UAV photogrammetry technology. This strategy of using the most advanced technology available to collect and process data efficiently while maintaining high professional standards and ensuring accuracy is at the core of TEC Land Surveying.
