Topographical Survey:-
A survey is an essential process that is necessary before any construction project. It is the detailed process that reveals the essence of the land, and further that can be used for construction purposes. A topographical survey is the detailed survey that emphasizes on the collection of data about the elevation points and contour lines on a piece of land. A topographical survey is proposed to gather the data from a survey about the natural and artificial features of the land.
A topographical survey is the section of an important survey or map that reveals any sort of elevation and grading feature on the land that is helpful to the architects, engineers, developers, and builders for a construction project.
Importance of topographical survey-
- A topographical survey is completely different from the other land surveys by studying and measuring the surface of the land.
- It is the survey that is carried out by the GPS (Global Positioning System) and EDM (Electronic Distance Metering).
- The elevation on the land is shown by contour lines on a map of the survey that represents the features of the earth’s surface.
- It is very helpful for the surveying of natural land and artificial surface, and it is helpful in determining the characteristic features like gas lines, water lines, electricity lines, trees, lakes, buildings, etc.
- It is the examination of the land that determines the elevation of the land and makes it clear whether dirt should be inserted or removed for the adjustment to property grade.
- This survey is beneficial for architects for the construction of any building because it provides the 3D plot for the design, and this 3D design is helpful for the approval of any construction project.
- This survey is beneficial for the type of land where the ground is uneven, steep slopes, artificial structures, or any other building causing inconvenience for the construction project.
- It ensures the safety of the construction by calculating the measurable land cleared for the construction that further clears the obstacles like uneven land, unsound slopes, and other features that are developed naturally or artificially.
- It provides a detailed and accurate picture of your land that eliminates the unforeseen issues that may arise at the time of construction.
- It ensures the record of relevant data that is needed before any construction project.
