About Allegheny Surveys, Inc.
Originally founded in 1988 in Birch River, West Virginia, as Allegheny Land Surveying, Allegheny Surveys, Inc. (incorporated in 1994) is a land-surveying firm that for many years provided the coal and timber industries with their surveying and mapping needs.
The firm specialized in large boundary surveys, often of several thousand acres, underground – more... and surface mine surveys, and construction and topographic surveying. It has undertaken many large projects, including a nearly completed 27,000 acre boundary survey, and has had numerous long-term clients who have remained faithful to it for years. In 1995, the firm undertook to learn to utilize GPS technology in its services, and has become a leader in that field since that time. It has performed extensive GPS control surveys all over West Virginia, in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Maryland.
In 1997, the firm began performing gas well location surveys on a 70,000 acre mineral tract owned by Pine Mountain Oil & Gas (Range Resources). Since that time, it has become a dominant presence in the natural resource arena throughout the state, performing well location surveys for many of the region's largest gas producers from the end of the state to the other, as well as in Pennsylvania.
In 2003, the company expanded by establishing an office in Weston, in northern West Virginia. In June of 2008, this office was moved farther north, to Bridgeport, to better accommodate its client base, especially in the natural gas industry.
In May of 2008, Allegheny Surveys purchased the assets and hired all eleven employees of Lincoln Land Consultants, a surveying firm located near Alum Creek, just a few minutes southwest of the State Capitol in Charleston. This firm provided exclusive shallow well and CBM well location surveys and permitting for Penn Virginia Oil and Gas.
Since January of 2009, Allegheny Surveys, Inc. has been preparing horizontal well permits in the Marcellus Shale for Antero Resources. Recently, it also began preparing these permits for XTO Energy. It has also permitted exploratory vertical wells in the Marcellus Shale, and has prepared numerous coal-bed methane well permits for Dyantec Energy, Penn Virginia Oil & Gas and Range Resources over the past several years.
In April of 2009, the firm expanded its presence in the natural gas industry by creating a Cathodic Protection Division, under the leadership and management of Michael Salmons, a Pipeline Corrosion Specialist, certified by the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (N.A.C.E.) as a Cathodic Protection Technician Level-2 and as an Internal Corrosion Technologist. Since its inception, the Division has performed Close Interval and Surface Potential surveys in WV, VA, OH and PA.
Allegheny Surveys currently has fifty employees in three offices, and the capacity to field twelve crews. It employs eight Professional Surveyors licensed to practice in West Virginia, and its owner, Marshall W. Robinson, is licensed to practice in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
