Coordinate Surveying

Coordinate surveying is the process of determining the exact positions of survey points within a specific coordinate system, such as geographic or projected coordinates. It plays a vital role in mapping, construction, and land surveying, allowing precise placement of objects on plans and maps.

Coordinate surveying commonly employs GNSS technology, total stations, and other geodetic instruments. Accurate coordinate data is essential for infrastructure projects where even minor spatial errors can cause major issues. It ensures that plans and implementations are geospatially compatible and precise.
