Topographic surveys

Topographical surveys

Topographic surveys are studies that measure and map the characteristics of an area. They include information about the terrain, such as relief, vegetation, the presence of watercourses, among other elements. Topographic surveys are used for various purposes, such as urban planning, environmental studies, construction of roads, dams, among others. They are usually carried out by surveyors and geographers using tools such as total stations, levels, GPS and drones.

Topographic surveys are vital for the initiation of a vast number of projects. It is important for us that they are done quickly, in detail, accurately and with all the information requested by customers. At Geonorth we have a long experience, both nationally and internationally, in topographic surveys of all types of sizes in various sectors and industries.

Application of topographic surveys

Topographic surveys are essential in several circumstances, including:

  • Civil construction: to design and construct buildings, roads, bridges, dams, airports, among others
  • Agriculture: to plan the placement of crops and the construction of irrigation systems
  • Mining: to plan the extraction of minerals and assess the environmental impact
  • Environmental studies: to assess the presence of water courses, soil quality, existing vegetation, among others
  • Execution of plans for IMI purposes, rectification of areas and divisions
  • Measurements for volume calculations
  • In addition to what has been mentioned above, topographic surveys can also be used for cartography, toponomy, geodesy, and even aesthetic purposes such as landscaping.
