When You Might Need a Topographical Survey
Topographic Surveys can be used to identify and map the contours
of the ground and existing features above, below or on the earth's surface.
This can include sites featuring trees, manholes, buildings, retaining walls and
utility poles. Topographic surveys usually concern the relief of the Earth,
including natural and artificial hills, valleys, streams, dams and bridges. The
recording of the particular terrain involves the determination of terrestrial
or three-dimensional space. These recordings are used to outline the position
of points, as well as the distances and angles between them.
A graphic representation of the relief of an area is named a Topographic Map. This is constructed
using the knowledge present during recordings and shows sure horizontal and
vertical locations plotted in the survey. Specialist topographic surveying
equipment can show a 3D representation of the results. Depending on your
project needs and requirements, this can include objects such as plants and
buildings.
