Abonmarche is honored to receive the Surveying Merit Award at the 2025 ACEC/Michigan Engineering and Surveying Excellence Awards for our work on the City of Portage’s “Natural Place to Move” initiative. This award recognizes outstanding surveying and engineering projects that demonstrate innovation, efficiency, and a commitment to excellence.

Leveraging Drone Technology for Efficient Surveying

As part of the Portage infrastructure improvement project, Abonmarche provided surveying and engineering services to support roadway enhancements across 6.34 miles of neighborhood streets. Given the project’s tight timeline, our team leveraged drone (UAV) surveying technology to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of pre-construction conditions.

By using advanced drone surveying, we were able to:
> Collect precise data faster than traditional methods
> Enhance project planning with detailed aerial images
> Reduce costs while improving efficiency

This cutting-edge approach to land surveying allowed for a streamlined design and construction process, ensuring the City of Portage’s infrastructure upgrades were executed smoothly and on schedule.

Commitment to Innovation in Surveying & Engineering

At Abonmarche, we continually adopt state-of-the-art surveying technology to deliver cost-effective, high-quality solutions for municipalities and communities. We are proud to be recognized for our contributions and look forward to future engineering and surveying projects that make a lasting impact.
