Geodetic Surveying - What is it, Types, and Features

Image
In this article, we will see about Geodetic Surveying, what is it, its features and its types.  So, let's see, What is Geodetic Surveying? Geodetic surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the earth's surface and its features.  This technique uses precise measurement techniques and equipment, such as GPS (Global Positioning System), to determine the exact position, location, and elevation of points on the earth's surface. It plays a crucial role in a wide range of applications, including construction, land development, mining, agriculture, and environmental management. In construction, we use it to accurately determine the location and elevation of structures, roads, and other infrastructure.  In land development, we use geodetic surveying to create maps and plans for new subdivisions and building sites. In mining and agriculture, we use it to determine the boundaries and locations of mining claims and land parcels, as well as to monitor and manage water resources.

Curves in surveying - What is it, Its types, and Advantages

In this article, we will see about what is curve in surveying, its types, purposes, its elements, advantages and more. What is curves in surveying? Curves surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the curvature of roads, rivers, and other natural features on a piece of land.  This involves the use of mathematical calculations and specialized tools, such as total stations, theodolites, and GPS equipment, to accurately measure angles, distances, and elevations.  The data collected is then used to create detailed maps and plans of the area being surveyed. Types of curves There are two types of Curves. 1. Horizontal Curve 2. Vertical curve Surveyors use horizontal and vertical curves to calculate the radius and slope of a feature.  Horizontal curves are used to calculate the radius of a curve and the central angle. While vertical curves are used to calculate the grade or slope of a road or other feature.  This information is used to ensure that the design of the road or other featu
