Topographic Surveys

 

Topographic Surveys are graphic terrain representations of a tract of land. There are several applications in which this information can be used. Topographic Surveys depict the locations of both natural and artificial features and how they differ in elevation. They may also include cross sections, profiles, contouring, and drainage. Topographic Surveys are used for the determination of volumes and quantities. Often a Topographic Survey is required in land planning to determine the useable land on proposed developments.

Topographic surveys are preformed using Global Positioning System (G.P.S.) and Total Stations, tied into geodetic control. Eagle Point’s surface modeling module is used to create a surface tin and contours.  The software result is then verified on the ground ensuring the accuracy of the topographic map.
