The Land Surveying Process
Before any engineering or construction project can begin it is crucial that property ownership and land boundaries be meticulously determined. To do this, our engineers perform land surveying.
Land surveying is the process of conducting a highly detailed, thorough inspection of an area by gathering information about the three-dimensional location of points as well as the distance and angles between them.
This allows land surveyors to establish a land map of points on the surface of the Earth as well as their corresponding positions beneath the Earth.
Accurate Land Surveying
Accuracy is critical for land surveying. Our land surveyors typically employ elements from many different advanced disciplines to help us calculate land ownerships, including: trigonometry, geometry, physics, engineering, and even law.
To gather and apply this complex data, our engineers use tools such as land surveying total stations, digital levels, GPS receivers, radio communicators, prisms, 3D scanners, hand-held tablets, and advanced surveying software.
The purpose of these sophisticated tools and the careful application of those advanced studies is to yield the most accurate, precise land surveying results possible.
