Beyond Boundaries:
01
Topographic Mapping:
Land surveyors create topographic maps that depict the natural and man-made features of a piece of land, including elevation, trees, buildings, roads, and bodies of water.
02
Geodetic Surveying:
Geodetic surveys focus on larger geographic areas and involve the measurement of the Earth’s curvature and shape. They are used for activities like satellite positioning, map-making etc.
03
GPS and Technology:
Modern land surveying often relies on advanced technologies like Global Positioning System (GPS), total stations, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance accuracy.
From Aerial Drones to Satellite Imaging:
Land surveying is a critical and foundational practice in the fields of civil engineering, land development, construction, and property management.
It involves the precise measurement and mapping of land and its features to determine boundaries, land contours, and various other characteristics.
The primary goal of a land survey is to establish accurate property lines and create detailed maps or plans that can be used for legal, engineering, or development purposes.
