Professional surveys are necessary for a variety of projects, from selling a large commercial property to adding a garage to a residential property. These surveys come in all different types, including a topographical survey. Like other surveys, a topographical survey takes an in-depth look into a piece of land. However, topographical surveys also have some key differences from other surveys.
A topographical survey focuses primarily on the different features of the land. Topographical surveys take note of all of the vegetation and land masses on a property. Any utilities present are also taken into account. This is because topographical surveys are typically needed when the features of the land may need to be altered, such as when a property is going to be used in an entirely different way than before. For example, if a large piece of property was once used as a park but will now be the construction spot for a new grocery store, the land will need to be significantly altered to accommodate the new building.
Environmental restoration projects also typically require a topographical survey rather than other types of surveys. Unlike boundary surveys, topographical surveys provide all of the information about the state of and the features included in a property, such as streams and trees that need to be considered during any environmental project.
We offer topographical survey services in addition to other types of surveys, and our professional surveyors are able to handle all kinds of surveying needs. If you need a topographical, boundary, or other survey for your property, come talk to us here at Meridian Geomatics LLC.
