There
are many different types of surveys such as residential surveys, boundary
surveys and topographical surveys. In this article we will explain the type of
results you get with a topographical survey, their uses and applications.
A
topographical survey allows you to establish the natural and man-made features
of a certain land. The results of a topographical survey can be beneficial for
property owners, industrial owners and owners of properties under construction
because it includes the hills, trees, buildings, fences, ravines or any
improvements being made on the natural features of the land. It provides us
with the exact figures in terms of position, height and size of the different
changes that have occurred in the land as far as its natural existence is
concerned.
Remote
sensing techniques and arial viewing of the land help topographic surveyors
come up with accurate details while the map is being created. They use symbols
colors and signs to designate details on these maps. Topographic surveyors make
sure that the maps they create are as accurate as it can get.
For
topographic land survey to be carried out, special equipment such as electronic
laser stations need to be used by professional surveyors. The equipment used
vary in accuracy. Surveyors also use GPS or Global Positioning System to get
instant access to the National Grid coordinates available. Other standard
equipment includes laptop computers, Distos and digital levels.
To
achieve their objectives, surveyors need to use elements such as physics,
trigonometry, engineering, law and mathematics.
