MFS Engineers & Surveyors provided professional land surveying services for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue, NY 10028.

The MFS project scope consisted of surveying of required floor elevations at key locations within the gallery spaces.
MFS performed a closed digital level loop, originating from (NGS) Vertical monument KU1431 (C 339) and encompassing all the essential points. The digital level loop was meticulously closed, with each of the 24 key points subjected to two measurements. MFS’s field team was diligent in safeguarding the flooring and ensuring zero damage.
