-Cadastal Survey
conducted within and around cities for planning expansions, locating property
lines, establishing reference monuments, determining land
features, and creating maps
City Surveys
undertaken at construction
sites to provide data on
reference lines, dimensions,
ground configuration, and
location and elevation—crucial
for engineers, architects, and
builders
Construction Surveys
executed
in forest management for
production and conservation,
focusing on measuring forest
lands
Forestry Surveys
applied to lakes, reservoirs,
harbors, streams, oceans, and
other bodies of water for
mapping shorelines, charting
underwater features, and
measuring stream flow, vital
for navigation, flood control,
irrigation, and hydroelectric
power.
Hydrographic Surveys
utilized in shipbuilding, aircraft
assembly, heavy machinery
layout, and other industries
requiring precise dimensional
layouts
Industrial Surveys
performed
to determine the position of
underground excavations,
surface mine structures,
geological formations, and
mining-related calculations
Mine Surveys
use photographs
from specially designed
cameras to obtain
measurements, often
complemented by limited
ground surveys
Photogrammetric Surveys
involve
determining alignment, grades,
and earthwork quantities for
linear projects like highways,
railroads, pipelines, canals, and
transmission lines
Route Surveys
focus on determining the
ground’s shape, location, and
elevation of natural and
artificial features, including
hills, rivers, roads, buildings,
and municipalities
Topographic Surveys
these are
usually closed surveys which
are undertaken in urban and
rural locations for the purpose
of determining and defining
property lines and boundaries
Cadastal Surveys
