Surveying

Satellite based navigation systems (SatNav) – these are positioning systems that are based on satellite technology which can deliver real time positioning data to a receiver. The end user segment of this system receives processed data therefore minimizing computations on the client side, among the amazing capabilities of this system are: Positional coordinates, distance, areas […]

Surveying has really evolved from the old classical methods to advanced hi tech methods

Hydrographical surveying just like topographical surveying is carried out to determine 3D measurements with the intent to depict bathymetry for mapping and applications in engineering works. The map plotted from this data is called a hydrographic chart where elevations are represented as contours and soundings.

Engineering surveying is carried out to determine land measurements in 3D for applications in precise engineering works. These include:

Topographical surveying is carried out to determine land measurements in 3D with the intent to depict the nature of topography for mapping and applications in engineering works. The key feature of topo-maps (maps plotted from topographical surveying data) is contours and spot heights to represent surfaces; another elevation representing technique is digital elevation models Applications

Property surveying involves measurement procedures done on real property for the purpose of getting to know spatial dimensions of the property in question; these measurements are location coordinates, distances, areas and levels Property surveying is done for the following reasons:

It is a science and profession of measuring and representing objects on the surface of the earth in both 2D and 3D. Its main application is mapping, engineering and GIS Categories of Land surveying include: property surveying, engineering surveying and hydrographic surveying Land based objects/structures measured as part of land surveying include parcel boundaries, roads,
