Cadastral/Legal Surveys

Define legal land boundaries and property lines.
Types: Perimeter, boundary identification, and boundary investigation surveys.
Perimeter surveys define boundaries surrounding a property.
Boundary identification surveys locate and mark existing property lines.
Boundary investigation surveys resolve boundary disputes.
Applications: Land ownership, property registration, real estate development, and dispute resolution.

Topographical Surveys

Map natural and man-made land features, including elevations and contours.
Show details like buildings, roads, vegetation, rivers, and elevations.
Applications: Land development planning, infrastructure design, and environmental studies.

Hydrographical Surveys

Measure and map underwater features of bodies of water, including depths, currents, and seabed characteristics.
Applications: Navigation, marine construction, flood control, and underwater ecosystems monitoring.

Construction/Layout Surveys

Determine construction project locations for accurate structure orientation and positioning.
Applications: Foundation and structure layout, positioning roads and utilities, ensuring design specifications compliance.

As-Built/Final Surveys

Verify that a construction project adheres to design specifications after completion.
Applications: Documentation of completed projects, compliance with regulations, future project reference.
