1. The Future of Land Surveying:
4 Ways Land Surveying is
Changing
2. 2
The appropriate technology makes all the difference in the land
surveying sector. Land surveying equipment has advanced to the point
that it is now able to collect increasingly exact measurements and
document them more easily and correctly.
On the other hand, it raises the bar for land surveyors to meet in terms
of job quality, accuracy, and efficiency. The surveying industry will
continue to evolve as technology advances, and experts in the sector will
need to adapt in order to remain up. Discover how land surveying
technology is evolving, as well as the most popular items on the market.

What Has Changed in Surveying
Technology?
Land surveying has existed for as long as land and
property have been purchased and sold. Surveying
methods progressed from using feet to using
premeasured lengths of chain and then to steel
tape measures.
4. 4
Among the most significant advances in modern land
surveying equipment are:
01
Theodolite electronic
distance measuring tools
measure horizontal and
vertical angles to pinpoint
distances with great
accuracy.
02
A single surveyor can
operate modern
electronic theodolites with
1" accuracy.
5. 5
03 On uneven terrain, lasers
and ultrasonic technology
allowed for greater
accuracy.
04 Ultrasonic measuring
instruments are used in
jobs involving transparent
objects, such as water.
Land surveying software and equipment have advanced rapidly over the last
several decades. Electronic devices and robotics are continuing to transform
the industry.

The Land Surveying
Industry's Future
Not only has land surveying
technology advanced rapidly in the
last few decades, but it is also
becoming more user-friendly. While
mapping a boundary used to
necessitate the use of several large,
complex pieces of equipment, many
essential surveying tasks can now be
completed using a mobile mapping
system on a handheld device or even
a smartphone.
7. 7
As technology continues to transform the land
surveying industry, advancements are moving
into an entirely new realm of near-complete
automation:
8. 8
Light Detection and
Ranging (LIDAR)
technology is a type
of remote sensing
surveying method
that measures
distances using
pulsated light from a
laser.
Drones, or
unmanned aerial
vehicles, can
quickly and
easily collect
data over large
areas and rough
terrain.
Robots equipped
with 3D laser
scanners can
traverse rough
terrain that
humans would
find too
dangerous or
difficult.
9. 9
Because land surveying has
evolved into such a dynamic
field, it is the professional's
responsibility to continue his
education and stay current
with the latest land surveying
technology. With the right
land surveying equipment,
the future of land surveying
is bright.
