Underground Utility Mapping Services

What Underground Utility Mapping Services does

Genesis Land Surveying Inc. is a multi-discipline land surveying firm headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, providing professional surveying services to residential, commercial/industrial, and government/public-sector clients across the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions. The firm operates from multiple offices including Toronto, North York, and Oakville, and supports a service portfolio that spans traditional boundary and topographic surveying alongside advanced geomatics offerings.

The company's Underground Utility Mapping service combines Electro-Magnetic Scanning, Ground Penetration Radar (GPR), and CCTV Inspection to produce comprehensive subsurface utility maps intended to mitigate excavation risk for infrastructure and construction projects. Complementary technical offerings include 3D Laser Scanning and LiDAR Drone Mapping, indicating progressive adoption of high-resolution spatial data capture technologies. The firm holds Ontario Land Surveyor (O.L.S.) and Ontario Land Information Professional (O.L.I.P.) credentials — a regulatory requirement for signing certain cadastral and legal surveys in the province — with principals Amar Loai and Maaz Malek carrying these designations.

The business operates on a project-based pricing model, generating revenue through fee-for-service engagements with private developers, engineering firms, and government entities. Documented government clients include the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. In September 2025, the firm acquired Fiddes & Clipsham Inc., extending geographic reach into Halton Hills, Caledon, Erin, Milton, and Brampton, and bringing approximately 70+ years of operational heritage under a single corporate umbrella. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed external funding.
