How a Topographic Survey Is Prepared
To complete a topographic survey, a surveyor will visit the site and assess the terrain and plan their approach. They will use GPS and/or traditional surveying methods to establish control points and tie them to geodetic benchmark.
The surveyor will measure elevations, contours, and locations of natural and human-made features. They will record elevations, buildings and structures, roads and paths, as well as water features like rivers, lakes, and streams. They can locate and indicate utility lines that are above and below ground. The surveyor also identifies and indicates property boundaries in relation to the topographic features.
The next stage of a topographic survey is the processing of data and the creation of a topographic map showing the orientation and location of the topographic features with respect to adjoining properties and roads. They will collect information about soil conditions if required and note any environmental hazards or features.
The next stage of a topographic survey is the processing of data and the creation of a digital terrain model and a topographic map complete with legend, scale, and indication of north.
