Ludlow Engineering and Land Survey

Land surveying is a technique to identify the terrestrial/3D position of points and the distances with angles between them. This surveying procedure includes attainment of data relating to the physical features of land specifically the relative position of points. Advanced land surveying procedures are used to research and analyze external deformations in large structures. The expert land surveyors’ conduct surveys to identify land positions and boundaries. They also use numerous methodologies of measurement, analysis, mapping, land description writing, research techniques, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics and law to assess and evaluate the properties.

Land surveys can be classified as either geodetic surveys or plane surveys. In geodetic surveys extremely accurate positions are considered and it usually covers large geographical regions. It needs the curvature of the earth along with some additional land survey techniques such as triangulation, trilateration as well as astronomical direction fixing. In real terms, land surveys are used to study and determine the land surface, shape and features. It eventually provides a comprehensive and deep description of the land characteristics including: vegetation cover and elevations, etc. mentioned in maps.

Land surveying typically includes the gathering of information, interpretation of information, figures of landscape, 3-D details of the surface and exact measurements for distinguishing the particular landforms. The result of land survey is the structured and graphic representation of information that allows the surveyors’ to offer exact 3 dimensional drawings. Exact land measurement and reckoning of these graphical positions is one of the basic elements of land surveying. There are many crucial land surveying techniques including: ALTA / ACSM land title surveys (ALTA surveys), trilateration, high-definition surveying – HDS (3d laser scanning), leveling, radiation, topographic surveys, geodetic survey, triangulation and GPS land survey. There are various land survey techniques that are used in various situations; moreover the above-mentioned are the fundamental surveying techniques that are used most commonly amongst the land surveyors.

Emerging Land Surveying Techniques

Land surveying is a scientific technique to determine and evaluate the terrestrial or 3D position of points and the distances with angles between them. The process involves acquisition of data relating to the physical characteristics of earth particularly the relative position of points and the magnitude of areas. Land survey techniques are also used to monitor and evaluate external deformations in large structures. The Professional land surveyors’ conduct surveys to determine positions and boundaries. The surveyors use various methods of measurement, analysis, computation, mapping, land description writing, research methodologies, elements of geometry, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics, physics and law to assess and evaluate the properties.

Land surveys are used to study the surface, shape and features of land. It gives a detailed description of the features (such as vegetation cover and elevations, etc), depicted in maps. Specifically, land surveying involves the accumulation of information, figures of landscape, three-dimensional details of the surface, precise measurements, including recognizing the specific landforms. The outcome of land survey is the graphic representation that allows the surveyors’ to provide accurate 3D drawings that can save countless hours and money for design projects. Accurate measurement of these graphical positions is one of the fundamental elements of land surveying. Its advantage is that it is more accurate than hand-measuring.

Land surveying is used for a wide variety of applications such as property delineation, military planning, geological exploration, civil engineering, telecommunication, real estate, private & public works, environmental industries and reclamation work. Land surveys help the planners to determine the features on given land surface and any special location in terms of coordinates (latitude, longitude and altitude). Similarly, it helps to identify special features pertaining to typical land usage patterns, mining etc. Basically, there are many innovative land surveying techniques involved in this procedure, like:

• ALTA / ACSM Land Title Surveys (ALTA Surveys)

• High-Definition Surveying – HDS (3D Laser Scanning)

• Topographic Surveys

• Geodetic Survey

• GPS Land Survey

All these latest land surveying techniques ascertain exact three dimensional point positions of fixed monuments, which can provide primary reference for subsequent engineering and construction projects. These control points also offer the basic framework from which the detailed site plan can be executed. Due to these cutting-edge technologies and equipments, scanning measurements becomes easy and can be displayed on a computer system for evaluation.
