Engineering and Surveying in Salt Lake City

 

Talisman is a full-service engineering and surveying firm established by an experienced professional team in Salt Lake City in 2016. We specialize in site and land development, urban infrastructure redevelopment, and utility development. In addition to standard land survey services, we also offer high-definition LIDAR scanning and aerial photography.

We focus on developing strong, ongoing partnerships with each of our clients, helping to deliver survey assignments quickly to assist in critical project decision-making. To each civil engineering assignment, we also bring a focused perspective on sustainability, both for the benefit of the environment and client economics.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

“Ryan and his team have been our first call for engineering and survey services for nearly a decade. Since establishing Talisman in 2016, their team has grown dramatically, and the level of service has continued to improve. The project managers are always easy to reach and respond quickly. They consistently meet project deadlines and remain engaged in projects even after their contracted scope has been fulfilled.”
Rick E.
“We have completed several projects with the Talisman high-definition survey team that involved existing, and in some cases historic, buildings. The Talisman team has consistently delivered high-quality scans and Revit Models, allowing us to coordinate the new design and the existing conditions with a high level of accuracy and confidence that otherwise would not be possible. Their services saved time in design and construction and allowed us to mitigate unforeseen conditions we typically encounter with the existing buildings.”
Emir T.
“Talisman has been an integral part of the Powder Mountain development team for a number of years. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and willingness to do whatever’s needed to help the project are greatly appreciated. We are privileged to be working with them and thankful for the strong relationship we have with Ryan and the Talisman team.”
Don G.
“Our experience working with Ryan Cathey and his team at Talisman Civil Consultants has been excellent. They didn’t just respond to our requests but rather anticipated our needs and exceeded our expectations. We will certainly be working with them again in the near future.”
