Cleveland Cliffs Survey

DGL has been an integral part of the Iron Units project for the Cleveland Cliffs. We performed research to acquire record data for the boundary, such as plats, vacations, record surveys, record easements, and performed a review of the title commitment provided by the client. Using this information, DGL’s team located all record boundary monuments in the field, calculated existing boundaries, and set missing monumentation. The team also conducted research to gather records and underground utility information. All data was used to prepare the ALTA/NSPS survey for the entire site. DGL collaborated with CH2M and Iron Units staff to resolve any title issues identified during the process. DGL prepared legal descriptions for lease areas acquired from Norfolk Southern by Iron Units LLC, developed a plat and legal descriptions for the Randolph Street right-of-way vacation, and completed an easement release for a portion of the Front Street right-of-way. The team also conducted a full topographic survey, established site control for construction, and used the data to create a surface model and base drawing for site design. Additionally, DGL crews have supported CH2M and Iron Units LLC personnel on site with survey and construction services to maintain project progress.
