Topographic Land Surveys
Topographic Land Surveys are important for finding the various features and elevations of a property before beginning any substantial construction/development project or environmental improvement project. With the highest level of accuracy, Haller Blanchard & Associates Land Surveyors has many years of experience doing this type of Survey. Additionally, our Land Surveyors in Maryland provide a vast array of precise and reasonably priced Topo Survey services.
We provide superior surveys delivered on time and meet or exceed local and state criteria. We have the knowledge and experience to ensure that Surveys are done correctly, whether you require a straightforward Topographic, Boundary, Stake Out, ALTA Survey, or As-Built Survey.
In addition, our Land Surveyors continue to play a crucial role in the development of our state, from clarifying current Land boundary lines to partitioning and consolidating parcels of Land. And because modern Surveying techniques today are far more accurate than older methods, this, combined with continuing population expansion in the State of Maryland, makes their work even more important.
Surveying Land Features
A Topographic Survey is more concerned with documenting the natural and man-made features on the Land itself. A typical Land Survey focuses more on identifying the boundaries of a parcel of Land. These could include hills, ravines, streams, trees, fences, structures, and other changes from the Land’s original natural state. These types of improvements can be located, measured in size and height, as well as any progressive elevational changes or contours, using a Topographic Survey.
Also, a Topographic Land Survey emphasizes elevation more than horizontal measurements, unlike Boundary or Residential Land Surveys. The majority of these measurements are made using electronic EDM equipment or a GPS device of Surveying quality. Instead of marking the results of the Topographic Survey with stakes or other landmarks, contour lines are drawn on a Survey Map of the terrain.
What are some reasons a Topographic Land Survey is valuable?
There are various reasons for conducting Topographic Land Surveys. A Topographic Land Survey, which specifies the beginning of the Land before modifications are made, is the first step in almost all construction projects. Additionally, as existing characteristics may influence their design or judgments on where constructions can and cannot be placed on the site, engineers and architects use them as a tool when constructing buildings or other enhancements to be situated on the property.
Moreover, Topo Surveys are used when designing plans for drainage ditches, grading, or other features, utilizing the natural landscape as the basis for such changes. Topographic Surveys may also be required by government entities for various reasons, such as the legal requirements from building codes or as part of environmental restoration initiatives.
