Land Surveying

Land surveying is a discipline of measurement and data collection focused on mapping the shapes, locations, and boundaries of natural and built environments. The purpose of land surveying is to produce accurate geospatial information that supports urban planning, construction, asset management, infrastructure design, and environmental monitoring.

Various methods and technologies are used in land surveying, including total stations, GNSS devices, laser scanning, photogrammetry, and drone-based imaging. Survey data is often integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and serves as a foundation for many technical and administrative processes.

Land surveying plays a key role in the development of digital twins, terrain models, and infrastructure projects by providing precise and up-to-date location-based data from the physical world.
