Definition of Surveying. 10
Surveying: the science, art, and technology of determining the
relative positions of points above, on, or beneath the Earth’s
surface, or of establishing such points.
Importance of Surveying. 11
1. To determine horizontal positions of arbitrary points on the
earth`s surface.
2. To determine elevations of arbitrary points above or below a
reference surface, such as mean sea level.
3. To determine the configuration of the ground.
4. To determine the direction of lines.
5. To determine the lengths of lines.
6. To determine the position of boundary lines.
7. To determine the areas of tracts bounded by given lines.
Surveying Types. 12
❖ Control Survey: Create a network of horizontal and vertical
effects.
❖ Topographic Survey: Determine locations of natural and
artificial features.
❖ Land, boundary, and cadastral Survey: Create property lines
and property corner signs.
❖ Hydrographic Survey: Define shorelines and depth of lakes,
streams, oceans, reservoirs, and other bodies of water.
Surveying Types. 13
❖ Alignment Survey: Deals with plan, design, and construct
highways, railroads, pipelines, and other linear projects.
❖ Construction Survey: Provide line, grade, control elevations,
horizontal positions, dimensions, and configuration for
construction operations.
❖ As-Built Survey: Documentation the final locations and layouts
of engineering works, and record any design changes that may
have been incorporated into the construction.
❖ Mining Survey: Study of above and underground to guide
tunneling and other operations associated with mining.
