QUESTIONS LIST:

  • surveying: the process of measuring and mapping out the position, height, size, and boundaries of land areas.
  • topographic survey: a type of survey that measures the elevation of land to create maps showing natural and man-made features.
  • boundary survey: a survey to establish the precise boundaries of a property.
  • geodetic survey: a survey that takes into account the curvature of the earth for large-scale mapping projects.
  • traverse: a method of surveying in which a series of connected survey lines form the framework for the survey.
  • total station: an instrument used in surveying and construction to measure areas of land with precision, including distances, angles, and elevations.
  • base map: a map that provides basic information about the land, such as boundaries and features, and serves as a reference for more detailed maps.
  • field work: work conducted outside, on the project area, where surveyors gather data directly from the land rather than from an office.
  • dimensions: the measurements of an object or area, including length, height, width, and angles, which are essential for creating accurate maps.
  • contour: the shape and features of the land, often represented on a map by contour lines that indicate elevation changes.
  • lidar: light detection and ranging, a laser light technology used for creating highly accurate maps by measuring distances from the earth's surface.
  • gps: global positioning system, a technology that provides exact geographic coordinates, allowing surveyors to determine precise locations.
  • sea level: the average level of the sea's surface, used as a standard for measuring land elevation and depth.
  • grade: the slope or angle of the land relative to the horizontal plane, important in assessing the terrain for construction or surveying purposes.
  • leveling: the process of determining the height of one point relative to another.
  • datum: a reference point on the earth's surface against which position measurements are made for surveying.
