Which Is Best For Your Project?

Our land surveyors understand how critical the process of land surveys is for every project. Land surveys are essential for setting or reconfiguring the boundaries of a plot of land, on a plat or in maps, or for layouts for construction projects. Land surveyors typically conduct boundary surveys to establish the boundaries of property, producing a plat or map depicting improvements or encroachments onto the parcel when the surveyor is onsite. Land developers, builders, real estate companies, and lenders use ATL surveys to determine improvements, rights-of-way, easements, boundaries, and restrictions in a piece of land.

Developers, landowners, and site selection professionals use floodplain information/surveys at an early phase of the project to help determine site viability or the location where facilities should be placed on a property. Topographic surveys, typically sought out by engineers, developers, or public agencies, document natural and man-made features of a property such as elevation, contours, streams, trees, utilities, and construction structures using aerial and/or land-based methods. Both aerial and ground-based methods may be used in topographic surveys. Drones can assist with the ease of conducting the survey, providing up-front site information through detailed images.

Topographic Surveys can help engineers and architects to plan their designs around natural obstacles, and ensure that their plans are compatible with the condition of the land. Aerial mapping is best used for initial planning purposes or large projects; however, it must be supplemented by land-based topographic surveys to fulfill the requirements for an engineers design. One way to enhance the performance of large-scale commercial projects is by conducting thorough, accurate aerial surveys.

By making sure a commercial project is built upon accurate data, a drone aerial survey also can make sure the project does not run into any obstacles during the entire build. Produced is the reason that drones for aerial surveys are being used more and more in commercial projects, particularly in construction. In the field of land surveys, drones have added an entirely new dimension with their ability to deliver aerial photogrammetry, 3-D model of sites, photo comparisons, and aerial videos.

While human air vehicles are capable of conducting surveys over vast areas of land, they are usually unable to approach closely enough to obtain high-resolution images, which an aerial survey drone can deliver. Specialized aerial land surveyors utilize high-quality surveying technologies to deliver accurate, clearly defined information throughout the project. From planning infrastructure to building solar farms, land surveys are critical for knowing land features, boundaries, intrusions, and topography; thus, enabling proper planning and mapping for the project.

The size of the site, and the number of elements within the site to map, will determine the time required by Land & Aerial Survey Bureaus to map a project. Typically, the field crews for the survey will travel out to a project and measure the horizontal and vertical angles between points, and also measure the distances, using a Total Station or a similar instrument. The positioning of the controlled points at the project location, recording, and processing will dictate overall precision for a flyover survey.
