Total Station & Surveying

Surveying or land surveying is the technique, profession, and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional position of points and the distances and angles between them. A surveying professional is called a surveyor. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership, locations like building corners or the surface location of subsurface features, or other purposes required by government or civil law, such as property sales. Surveyors work with elements of mathematics (geometry and trigonometry), physics, engineering and the law. They use equipment like total stations, robotic total stations, GPS receivers, prisms, 3D scanners, radios, handheld tablets, digital levels, and surveying software. Surveying has been an element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history. The planning and execution of most forms of construction require it. It is also used in transport, communications, mapping, and the definition of legal boundaries for land ownership.

Workshop Benefits

• Save time and money and reduce errors with the dynamic engineering model.
• Reduce purchase, deployment, and support costs with one complete solution.
• Increase value to client by delivering more design alternatives in less time.
• Take full advantage of existing LAND SURVEY skills to get up to speed quickly.
• Create production sheets faster.
• Be sure that production drafting is always in sync with your design.
• Complete projects faster and reduce the chance of coordination errors using the Land Survey
• Exploit data compatibility.
• Build a foundation for your custom solution.
• Clearly communicate design intent and complete final proposals with realistic 3D rendering.
