Ludlow Engineering and Land Survey

Do you or your clients have contaminated real estate where you have to install monitoring wells? Then you must hire a land surveyor that offers environmental land surveying services in your area. A land surveyor that works on environmental projects provides all types of environmental land surveying services to environmental engineers or consultants. Environmental land surveys conducted for the environmental industry include various tasks like monitoring well surveying, geo-tracker reporting, topographic surveys, earth quantity calculations, site map, and/or construction staking. All land surveyors and experts deal with environmental land survey issues related to contaminated real estate sites.

Environmental surveys also include topographic land surveys. The prime purpose of a topographic survey is to gather survey information about the natural as well as man-made features of the land. The topographic land surveyors make three – dimensional maps with the help of their instruments. To complete their topographic survey objectives, environment land surveyors use distinct elements of geometry, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics and physics. A survey shows the location, size, height and the gradual changes in elevation.

Topographic survey also includes the comprehensive analysis and gathering of information through derivative measurements of the field. The technique adheres to the analysis and evaluation of data which supports planning, designing as well as establishment of property lines and boundaries. The survey also includes the re-establishment of cadastral surveys and land boundaries based on documents of record and historical evidences. It generally involves the process of establishing and marking the location of planned improvements, like space delineation, roads, buildings and even sewer lines.

Environmental land surveying may involve connected services like:

Topographic surveys
Mapping and related data accumulation (site map)
Construction layout surveys
Precision measurements of length, angle, elevation, area, and volume
Monitoring well surveys
Geotracker reporting

Alta Land Title Surveys Utah

Ludlow Engineering and Land Surveying performs up to 100 ALTA land title surveys every year.  Located in central Utah, we can cover the entire State of Utah quickly and efficiently.

What Is An ALTA survey:  We have included this article to help answer that very question.

Topographic Survey And Its Utilities

One of the major purposes to conduct a topographic survey is to accumulate survey information about the natural and man-made characteristics of the land and its elevations. From this set of information the topographic land surveyors make three – dimensional maps. They prepare a topographic map after collecting the field data. To accomplish their topographic survey objectives, surveyors use elements of geometry, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics, physics and law.

They gather information through detailed study, observations and measurements in the field. It involves data analysis in the support of planning, designing, and establishing of property boundaries. It also includes the re-establishment of cadastral surveys and land boundaries based on documents of record and historical evidences, and certifying surveys of subdivision plats/maps, registered land surveys, and space delineation. Land surveying may involve associated services such as mapping and related data accumulation, construction layout surveys, precision measurements of length, angle, elevation, area, and volume, as well as horizontal and vertical control surveys, and the analysis and utilization of land survey data. This survey is also known as geomorphometry. Today, this involves generation of elevation data in electronic form. It is often measured to include the graphic representation of the landform on a map by a variety of techniques, including ontour lines, Hypsometric tints, and relief shading.

The work involved in a topographic survey mainly consists of the following steps:

• Establishing horizontal and vertical control that will serve as the framework of the survey,

• Identifying horizontal location and elevation of ground points to provide enough data for plotting when the map is prepared

• Locating natural and man-made features that may be required by the purpose of the survey,

• Computing distances, angles, volumes and elevations of earthwork

• Finally, drawing the topographic maps.

Topographic survey requires both horizontal and vertical control to reference the measurements of the chosen features and ground elevations that will be used to create the topographic survey map. The land surveyors can also provide aerial mapping and ground surveying to complete all topographical surveys. The methods used in the survey can be tailored to match the size and requirements of the project. Land surveyors use latest and powerful technologies and surveying tools like topographic surveys, ALTA / ACSM Land Title Surveys (ALTA Surveys), High-Definition Surveying – HDS (3D Laser Scanning), Geodetic Survey, and GPS Land Survey to perform their services more rapidly and perfectly. Topographic survey helps in real estate, development, engineering, environmental and telecommunications industries.
