Percheron has a fully staffed Land Administration Department (“LAD”) that works from our centralized office in Katy, Texas. Our LAD group works in tandem with our right of way agents, title abstractors, surveyors, and GIS to generate documents, send mass mailouts, manage data, and record documents in the applicable county records.
We set high expectations for our team to provide quality deliverables. LAD can control the work product and supervise the work even if the document specialist is in the field. Our teams’ refined processes ensure consistency and efficiency for your projects. In addition, we customize those processes to serve each client’s specific needs and expectations for project success. Our cutting-edge processes are established as best industry practices for our office, Percheron, and clients.
Percheron’s Land Administration Department has streamlined the document and check request process. With the aid of IT, LAD created an app for requesting documents to be generated and request checks processed through the department, along with any other agent request.
Our experienced and knowledgeable team of GIS professionals are here for all your geospatial needs. The department provides an integral component to our project planning, design and construction. Our services can satisfy a broad range of needs from varying entities and across multiple industries utilizing the latest industry-leading ESRI ArcGIS Software.

When Percheron Acquisitions was established in 2007, the founding parties spent a lot of time stressing the importance of choosing the right name. Trent Oglesby, CEO of Percheron LLC, gathered a group of employees together to discuss name ideas, and Percheron was suggested.
Trent said, “After doing a little research on Percheron horses, I found that Percherons were utilized in building the infrastructure of early America, which worked well with our service offerings. I also liked the fact that these horses were known for their strength, dependability, and hard work, characteristics that fit with the company we were creating. It’s different and a great conversation starter. Even if people don’t know what a Percheron is, they usually never forget the name.”
The Percheron is a large draft horse that is very popular in the United States and Canada. It is known for its even temperament and good manners. They are dependable animals that are willing to work. Percherons range in height from 15 to 19 hands high (60-76”), and most are between 16-2 (66”) and 17-3 (71”) hands high. They can weigh up to 2600 pounds, with an average of around 1900.
The Percheron has a very pleasing disposition: proud, alert, intelligent, and willing worker. The Percheron is very versatile. They are readily adapted to varying climates and conditions, have the strength to pull heavy loads, and the graceful style to pull a fine carriage. Percherons can be ridden, and some have been known to make fine jumpers.
Two Percheron horses pulling together cannot pull twice as much as one. They can actually pull three times as much. The two horses that can each pull 8,000 pounds alone can pull 24,000 pounds working together.
That kind of teamwork has served as a foundation for Percheron for the last 38 years and will continue to be a driving force in providing our clients with the best service possible.
When it comes to land management, you need service that meets your standards, your needs, and your project timeline—even in the most complex cases. That’s why Percheron only offers the most experienced professionals to handle all projects across the country. On every assignment, our dedicated experts are able to leverage a complete range of fully integrated resources to keep you on track. It’s the kind of attention to detail that keeps delays, surprises and worries out of the land management process.
Percheron’s team of FAA Licensed UAS pilots, combined with our Land Surveying Department’s full suite of traditional surveying services and Licensed Surveyors, offer a unique opportunity to integrate aerial and survey quality deliverables to our clients. From mission planning to raw collection, post-processing to QA/QC, and final deliverables, we do it all in-house!
Our team can more efficiently and accurately capture data to give you complete insight into your facilities, pipelines, electric transmission lines, or roadways. Our state-of-the-art fleet is capable of flying lower and employs higher resolution sensors for video, still images, and LiDAR imagery compared to traditional manned aerial options.
In many states across the US, aerial imagery, mapping, and even GIS are considered surveying, and only licensed survey companies can legally produce these deliverables. Percheron’s position as an integrated services company with survey licenses nationwide allows us to execute the work efficiently and legally.
By combining UAS technology and services with our full-service Land Surveying Department, Percheron provides industry-leading services to the pipeline, E&P, electrical T&D, solar, wind, cellular, federal/state/local agencies, and real estate development companies. For close-up inspections and surveys of fixed assets such as power and electrical infrastructure, cell towers, and facilities, Percheron’s UAS team can provide detailed deliverables faster and safer than traditional methods.
