7 Types of Land Surveying & the
Tools Required for Each
https://www.falconsurveyme.com
A land survey entails using mathematics, geometry, and other sciences to locate and measure both man-made and
natural structures. A land surveyor can measure factors like elevation, angles, and borders of a property using various
tools.
There are several types of land surveys, each with its own goal and set of equipment. Seven main types of land surveys
are described below, along with equipment recommendations for each.
● ALTA/ACSM Survey
● Boundary Survey
● Construction Survey
● Location Survey
● Site Planning Survey
● Subdivision Survey
● Topographic Survey
This sort of survey is used to supply the necessary location and survey
data to a title firm and/or lender in order to issue an American Land
Title Association or Extended Coverage Title Insurance policy. An
ALTA/ACSM survey often depicts the relationship between current
improvements on a specific plot of land and the property's deed
boundaries.
ALTA/ACSM Survey
Boundary Survey
The corners and boundary lines of a parcel of land are located via a
boundary survey. This form of survey entails both record and field
investigation, as well as any measurements and computations required
to establish the boundary lines in accordance with state legislation. The
location of easement lines and encroachments may also be part of a
boundary survey.
Construction Survey
This form of survey include staking out the property's structures, such
as walls, buildings, roads, and utilities. Staking gives construction
workers instructions on how to carry out the improvements outlined on
the development blueprints. In addition to an As-Built survey, a
construction survey may include both horizontal and vertical grading.
Location Survey
A location survey, like a border survey, gives further information on the
placement of internal improvements. This study is frequently used to meet
the requirements of a zoning permission or a financing application.
Site Planning Survey
A site planning survey includes the aspects of boundary and topographic
surveys for site planning and is frequently required for development
permit applications. Before building begins, this survey is utilised to plan
design upgrades and developments.
House lots, subdivisions, retailers, playgrounds, commercial and
industrial sites, and streets and highways all benefit from site planning
surveys.
Subdivision Survey
A subdivision survey divides a large piece of land into smaller parcels,
lots, or estates. This survey is also used to plan streets and drainage
systems, and it must be documented by a municipal or state
government body. A partition survey is another name for this type of
study.
Topographic Survey
The goal of this survey is to identify natural and man-made topographic
characteristics on a piece of property. Fences, utilities, structures,
altitudes, streams, trees, improvements, and contours are examples of
such characteristics. A state or municipal government agency may
request a topographic survey, or architects and engineers may utilise it
to design site renovations and projects.
