Surveying

Is traditionally defined as a branch of applied mathematics that teaches the art of determining the

relative position of points above, on, or beneath the Earth’s surface, or establishing such points.

• Surveying

• Measuring

• Geomatics

An applied science that involves an integrated approach to the measurement, analysis,

management, and display of geographic and other spatial data.

• Geomatics

• Kinematics

• Geology

• Surveying

Process of obtaining size, extent, and dimensions of a certain quantity based on a given standard.

• Surveying

• Measuring

• Taping

• Geomatics

This type of surveying deals with areas of limited extent, and the spheroidal shape of the earth is neglected.

• Construction Surveys

• Geodetic Surveying

• Industrial Surveys

• Plane Surveying

This type of survey requires high precision, and it covers relatively large areas. The spheroidal shape of the earth and the effects of earth’s curvature is considered.

• Geodetic Surveying

• Cadastral Surveys

• Plane Surveying

• Mine Surveys

Surveys in urban and rural locations to establish and determine area, property lines, and boundaries. It is a survey of public lands and it is executed to fix boundaries of municipalities and provincial jurisdictions.

• Photogrammetric Surveys

• Route Surveys

• Cadastral Surveys

• Industrial Surveys

Surveys undertaken in a construction project to provide essential data for planning, construction, and post-construction operation. The data obtained in this type of survey includes grades, reference lines, dimensions, ground configurations, and location and elevation of structures.

• Industrial Surveys

• Route Surveys

• Topographic Surveys

• Construction Surveys

Surveys performed in different bodies of water to map shorelines, chart the shape of area underlying water surfaces, and measure the flow of streams.

• Topographic Surveys

• Hydrographic Surveys

• Cadastral Surveys

• Photogrammetric Surveys

The use of surveying techniques in manufacturing plants and other industries to make extremely accurate

measurements and dimensional layout. It is used in ship building, construction and assembly of aircraft, and heavy machinery installation.

• Plane Surveys

• Route Surveys

• Topographic Surveys

• Industrial Surveys

Surveys performed in a mining site to guide the tunneling and positioning of all underground excavations and surface mine structures. It is also done to fix surface boundaries of mining claims, and calculate excavated volumes.
