Clapsaddle-Garber Associates, Inc. (CGA) is pleased to announce Chris Sweeney has passed the Iowa exam to become a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS).

Sweeney has been employed with CGA since 2017 and became a Land Surveyor Intern (LSI) in 2021. He recently took the test to continue his career as a surveyor, achieving the highest certification as a Professional Land Surveyor. An applicant for licensure in land surveying must have graduated from a post-secondary course of two years or more in mathematics, physical sciences, mapping, surveying, or engineering and up to six years of experience depending upon the degree earned.

As a PLS, Sweeney will plan, organize, and direct CGA survey crews to ensure each project is completed with the utmost accuracy.  To read more about the requirements to become a licensed surveyor, visit https://plb.iowa.gov/land-surveying.

CGA has a robust survey team, consisting of eight Professional Licensed Surveyors throughout their Ackley, Ames, Cedar Falls, Marshalltown, and Webster City locations.
