Study Notes

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.
