A topographical survey is a detailed mapping of the natural and man-made features of a piece of land. This includes water bodies, contours, elevations, vegetation and man-made structures. These features are shown on the survey, using contour lines, symbols and spot elevations. Topographical survey services are very useful for construction, engineering, land development and real estate. We provide relevant information for planning and design, and for understanding the natural environment of a site.
Planning and Preparation
This step involves defining the survey objectives. The surveyors identify the right survey methods and choose appropriate topographical mapping tools.Data Collection
For the collection of land development topographic data, the surveyors move to the field, where they are assigned to collect the required data. This activity includes conducting on-site measurements and determining elevation data. It also helps surveyors get spatial information by making the most of the surveying instruments.Data Analysis and Processing
This step of analyzing the data and processing it allows surveyors to go through data and generate digital elevation methods. The surveyors and other concerned professionals then evaluate terrain characteristics, using modern software and techniques.Mapping and Reporting Processes
This step involves creating detailed and accurate topographical maps after collection of data through land surveying. In addition, this data helps in determining contour plots and detailed reports to show survey findings.Data Management
Since land surveying is an ongoing process, all the data collected through various surveys needs to be updated, stored and managed properly. When surveyors take the right steps, they can ensure the delivery of smooth project while keeping the data safe and present it one place. Moreover, topo surveys facilitate many operations and helps surveyors during a project’s lifecycle.What are Equipment Used in a Topographic Survey?
