Polena Companies include Land Technology, Lambert & Associates, and Alan J Coulson.  We are providing the same great service since 1968 while increasing our capabilities and catering to the needs of our customers.

Land Technology was founded in August of 1993 for the purpose of providing impeccable civil engineering and land surveying services to the building construction and development industry.  We strive to complete each job on time and provide a helpful, courteous and knowledgeable staff.  We assist our clients with their projects through concept stage, design, permit and construction.  We are a one stop shop for all engineering and land surveying services and have the capacity to accommodate a large scope of projects.

Lambert & Associates was started in July of 1968 and quickly became one of the premier Land Surveying firms in DuPage County.  We have over 32 years of archived hard copy surveys and approximately 18 years of electronic surveys collected in our database.  This equates to approximately 75,000 surveys in the DuPage county and surrounding areas.  The presence of information and the long records available allow us to be highly efficient in our work and decrease turnaround times.  Our typical turnaround time on residential boundary surveys is approximately two weeks.  We are able to accommodate the requests of our clients on Rush surveys that can be returned in as little as 24 hours.  We run three field crews, three office drafters, and two surveyors to ensure the quick turnarounds and a quality product.

Alan J. Coulson Land Surveyors was founded in West Dundee in 1974. Polena Engineering LLC is proud to be family owned same as all our predecessor companies.

Our boundary survey clients consist of real estate attorneys, realtors, engineers, builders, municipalities, and private entities.  The ability to provide full service engineering in addition to boundary surveys is an added benefit to our clients.  Our team is always available to provide quick estimates of cost and turnaround, and ready to answer any questions that our clients have.

WHAT WE DO

The combination of our two offices into one company is one of the main advantages in providing competitive prices, quality submittals, and fast turnaround.  We have pooled our resources and run field crews from both locations reducing driving time and providing a cost savings to our clients.  Our electronic resources and systems are interconnected between the two offices allowing our engineers and project management to operate seamlessly from either location.

Our design team includes Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Licensed Designers and Licensed Septic Installers.  Our field crews collect data on Trimble total stations (including four fully robotic units). Data is downloaded to computer workstations using AutoCAD Civil and Surveying software.  We have the ability to operate up to 5 field crews to meet the demand of our clients.

Our Executive Manager, Mr. Sam Polena, PE, has over 10 years of design and inspection experience of residential, commercial, industrial, and roadway projects.   He holds active professional engineering licenses in Illinois, and multiple other states.  Mr. Polena also holds several IDOT certifications and is a State of Illinois licensed septic installer as well as a licensed Lake County Septic Designer.

Our Professional Land Surveyors, Mr. Norbert Lambert and Mr. Jon Jacobs, have over 65 years of combined experience in Land Surveying and hold active licenses in Illinois and Wisconsin.  Mr. Jacobs also holds a professional engineering license in Illinois and is our Project Manager for all engineering and surveying projects.
