Land Surveying also includes associated services: collection, analysis and utilization of precise measurements of angle, elevation, length, area, and volume; subdivision planning and design; writing legal descriptions of real property for the purpose of easements, quit claims, title transfers, boundary line adjustments, or any other land use or designation; mapping, topography, and engineering field data; construction layout; and court-mandated services or settlements.
Land surveying practice is a career specialization overlapping the professions of geodesy, engineering and law. Today's land surveyor has access to highly sophisticated equipment as well as the traditional instruments for performing and processing survey work. The surveyor takes pride in being able to use the most efficient tools to accomplish the desired results. Research of deeds, historical documents, various old plats, maps and right of way plans, is an integral part of any boundary survey. The internet is also used to research vertical and horizontal datums on a global scale for Global Positioning Surveys. Keeping abreast of changing laws and practices affecting land surveying and land ownership, exchanging ideas through participation in professional associations and societies, continuing education through attendance at workshops and seminars, in the interest of providing better service, are some of the activities pursued by today's modern land surveyor. |
