Professional Surveying Done Right Here

Western-EGI is state-authorized to perform all types of professional land surveying in Wyoming. Our surveying practice is led by Cody Woods, PE, LS — one of a small number of engineers in Wyoming holding both a Professional Engineer license and the PE, LS dual designation. That credential means full legal authority for boundary work, title surveys, easement and ROW surveys, and all other licensed survey types.

When your project requires both engineering and surveying, Western-EGI eliminates the coordination gap that comes from using separate firms. Survey control informs civil design. Design changes are reflected in staking immediately. One team. One schedule. One contract.

The Integration Advantage

Engineering + Surveying
Under One Roof

Splitting engineering and surveying across two firms creates friction at every hand-off — survey data formatted differently than design expects, staking crews unavailable when grading starts, conflicting records at project closeout. Western-EGI eliminates all of it.

Survey-Informed Design

Our civil engineers design from survey data collected by the same team. No format conversion, no interpretation errors, no surprises when the design hits the field. Topographic surveys feed directly into Civil 3D models used for grading, drainage, and pavement design — all reviewed by the same engineer who stamped the plan set.

  • Survey data natively in Civil 3D design workflow
  • Immediate design updates when field conditions change
  • Engineer and surveyor reviewing the same base map
  • Fewer RFIs during construction due to better coordination
Staking by the Designer's Team

When Western-EGI designs the project and performs construction staking, the crew staking grade knows exactly what the engineer intended. Ambiguities get resolved with a phone call, not a formal RFI. Changes get incorporated in hours, not days. Owners get a smoother construction process and fewer change orders tied to survey-design miscommunication.

  • Staking crew has direct access to the design engineer
  • Design intent communicated directly — no middleman
  • Rapid response to field conditions and design changes
  • As-built surveys performed by the same firm that designed
Our Credential

PE, LS — What It Means

Wyoming PE, LS Dual Designation

Wyoming's dual PE/PLS designation is held by individuals who hold both a Professional Engineer license and a Professional Land Surveyor license — a credential that represents the full range of technical authority for engineering and survey practice.

Cody Woods, PE, LS leads Western-EGI's survey practice. His dual licensure means Western-EGI can legally perform and stamp boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys, easement and ROW surveys, and all other licensed survey types in Wyoming — not just topographic or construction surveys available to engineers without a land surveyor license.

For clients, this means you get a single licensed professional accountable for both the engineering design and the legal survey work underlying it.

Survey Work in Action

Topographic Survey & Special Inspections — Rock Springs, WY
Rock Springs High School Track

Western-EGI performed the topographic survey and special inspections for the RSHS track reconstruction. Survey data fed directly into the pavement design, enabling integrated evaluation of existing grade conditions. During demolition, trapped moisture was discovered beneath the field — caused by an impermeable membrane installed without the school's knowledge. Western-EGI's integrated survey-to-geotech workflow identified the problem and allowed a rapid in-field design response that kept the project on schedule. Client: Sweetwater County School District No. 1 (Dan Selleroli).

Topographic Survey & Site Design — Rock Springs, WY
WWCC Parking Lots — Rock Springs Campus

Topographic survey and full site design for multiple WWCC parking lot improvements. Western-EGI's integrated survey-to-design workflow allowed rapid iteration on grading plans, drainage design, and geosynthetic layouts — all from survey data collected by the same team performing the engineering. When unforeseen water infiltration required a mid-project redesign, survey data was immediately available to support the revised grading solution. Client: WWCC (Chris Dever).
