Fenstermaker began as a small, regional surveying company in 1950. It has since become one of the largest surveying and mapping companies in the southern United States, known for its commitment to finding solutions to the most complex mapping and surveying challenges. The Advanced Technologies Division formed in 2008 offers specialized field services, including Underwater Acoustic Imaging (UAI) and High-Definition Surveying (HDS) to provide topside and underwater as-built mapping services to the oil and gas industry. The combination and synergistic working relationship allows Fenstermaker to deliver high-resolution 3D visualization, accuracy, and detail on projects that are not possible using traditional survey methods. more
