The Benefits Of Topographical Surveys If you are unsure about what topographical surveys are or why you need to use them, our blog explains all the details. Topographical surveys offer many benefits and can be used for a wide range of features, giving you the details and measurements you require for any projects. Wayne Evans Surveying Services provide topographical surveys for all sites and land, giving you an accurate representation of any features.
What Is A Topographical Survey? A topographical survey can be used for any features, ranging from properties, areas of land and different boundaries. This survey will then scale and detail the spatial separations of any features, giving you an accurate 2D or 3D report of any features you require.
Topographical surveys will give you various information regarding any sites for both natural and man-made features. This can be integral if you are looking to complete work or make improvements to any part of the land as it gives you an overview of the space you have and what changes can actually be made.
Data Before Making Changes It is important to gather enough data about any land, structures or features before you decide to complete work and make changes to these features. Failure to gather this data and information could mean that any work you complete causes a problem and could potentially damage the feature in the short or long-term.
Topographical surveys will make sure you have a great understanding of what work can be completed and what issues could occur. With a detailed report on all features and land, as well as the surrounding areas, this is important to complete before any projects.
Understanding Your Land As well as preparing you for what changes can and cannot be made to the land, it will also give you a good understanding of what the land has previously been used for. If you have recently purchased some land, topographical surveys will reveal any details that could be hidden from a simple visual survey.
This will identify any changes that have occurred over a long or short period of time, as well as finding any issues with the land that should be resolved. This aspect of a topographical survey is essential to check the land is appropriate for any changes you are looking to make, such as construction work.
Clear Images One of the biggest reasons for having topographical surveys is to gain a clear image of the land and the surrounding area that you own. Topographical surveys give you a thorough, birds-eye view of any land, making this easy for the owner of the land, as well as any businesses and builders who are interested in the land for construction.
Having a topographical survey with a plan of your land will typically be required before any construction projects. Whilst you want to make sure it is up to date, having it done early will ensure you can begin any construction projects quickly and there is no delay to any projects.
Safe Construction Topographical surveys should always allow you to complete safe construction once the survey has been finished. As the survey will cover all features such as trees, walls, walkways, buildings and streets surrounding the land, it considers all features that could cause problems for construction projects.
With boundary lines also being shown, this will help settle any disputes with neighbouring land, allowing you to construct the projects you want without any issues. To ensure safe and swift construction, topographical surveys should always be used.
