What is a Topographical Survey?
A topographical survey aims to gather spatial information related to a site and its natural and man-made land features. The survey can distinguish all features within an area of interest, including physical boundary details, land features and property. Topographic maps help engineers, architects, building contractors, and homeowners to accurately visualise their site for a planned development.Depending on the type of project, a topographic survey may be required by law. However, conducting one is always a wise decision for successful outcomes. Receive your topographical survey and get a complete picture of the land you are developing, including the off-site and near-site features that may interfere with a construction project. Through the survey, you can figure out which design and construction method to use. Our company uses the latest equipment that will help you reduce the risks of costly mistakes arising from unforeseen issues as well as land constraints. Obtaining the correct information early on at the design stage of a project through a topographic survey or land survey can generally save considerable time and reduce costs.
How we Complete a Topographical Survey
At City Measured Survey, we use a wide range of different equipment to conduct thorough and comprehensive topographical surveys across London. We use high-standard equipment to precisely measure all the site features for accurate results. Accurate GPS equipment will survey the area and produce fixed points of an area of land, which can be used as reference markers that tie in with the national coordinate system. Additionally, we use drone survey technology, total stations or 3D laser scanners according to the required level of detail specified for your deliverables. Receive a detailed survey report as either point cloud data, scaled 2D AutoCAD drawings, or 3D BIM Models as required from our latest 3D laser scanning technology and CAD software.What will a Topographical Survey Identify?
The typical elements that a topographical survey may identify may include:
- Buildings and structures
- Area boundary lines
- Trees, bushes, and vegetation positions
- Street furniture (such as bollards, benches, post boxes, phone boxes, traffic lights and signs, streetlamps, public lavatories, public transport stops, memorials, public sculptures, and waste bins).
- Water channels (such as brooks, streams, lakes and ponds)
- Drainage features
- Ground heights, contours and surfaces
- Features adjacent to the site
- Water levels
