Types of Surveys

Mine Surveys = Determining position of underground excavations and surface mine structures Photogrammetric Surveys = Using photographs taken from airplanes or ground stations for measurements Route Surveys = Determining alignment, grades, and location of natural/artificial objects for highways and railroads Topographic Surveys = Determining shape of the ground and location/elevation of features

Mine Surveys = Fixing surface boundaries of mining claims Photogrammetric Surveys = Used in conjunction with limited ground surveys Route Surveys = Planning and design of highways, pipelines, and other linear projects Topographic Surveys = Determining elevation of natural and artificial features

Mine Surveys = Calculating excavated volumes in mining work Photogrammetric Surveys = Obtaining measurements for further surveys Route Surveys = Establishing lines and grades for related mining work Topographic Surveys = Determining shape and ground features
