A Topographical Survey, also referred to as a Topo Survey, is a comprehensive type of survey that collects data regarding the physical features of a piece of land. The survey is used to produce a detailed map or plan of the land, including information about its contours, elevations, natural features, and man-made structures. The collected information is used in various applications such as construction, land-use planning, and land management.<\/p>\n
The Topographic Survey measures the elevation of the land’s surface and various features using various surveying techniques. The elevation is depicted on the survey map through contour lines and spot elevations. The survey will also reference both surface and underground features(completed by a 3rd party), such as retaining walls, buildings, trees, and utility poles. The information gathered from the Topographical Survey is used by engineers, architects, and governmental agencies to determine the grade of the property\/roads, create 3D plots, and evaluate existing infrastructure. It provides critical information for site planning, design, and development, as well as for identifying potential hazards and environmental issues.<\/p>\n
Topographic surveys are usually the first step in any development or construction project. The information provided by the survey is crucial to every single step of the project that follows. Therefore hiring the right surveyors with expertise will not only help you save money and time at the beginning but will also help you avoid any unexpected surprises down the road.<\/p>\n
IBW completes hundreds of topographic plans each year and can offer you:<\/p>\n
The workflow of a Topographical Survey typically involves several steps, including the following:<\/p>\n

The survey team will start planning the survey by reviewing existing records and maps, determining the location and extent of the survey area, and identifying any potential challenges or hazards. The team will also gather the necessary equipment and materials for the survey.<\/p>\n

In this phase, the survey team will carry out the field survey by obtaining measurements and collecting data using techniques such as GPS, electronic distance metering, and total station. The field crew begins the survey by establishing a robust horizontal and vertical control network and tying the traverse to published benchmarks and horizontal control monuments. Additionally, the team will also document any man-made or natural features found on the land, such as buildings, roads, trees, etc.<\/p>\n

Upon the completion of the field survey, the survey team will process and analyze the collected data. A field Quality Control procedure will be performed, in which the fieldwork will be analyzed for accuracy and proper use of surveying techniques. If any necessary adjustments or transformations are required, they will be performed in this phase.<\/p>\n

The Drafting team will then proceed to work on the field data and produce the deliverables in accordance with the client\u2019s requirement. The CAD standards are typically defined by the client. IBW works with different municipalities and regions to stay up to date with their current standards.<\/p>\n

The Quality Control team will review the report and deliverables to ensure their accuracy and completeness. This step is often completed with the help of a field crew, images captured during the field surveys and up-to-date satellite imagery. Certain features are flagged for field audits, as needed.<\/p>\n

The survey report and deliverables will be reviewed by the client and other stakeholders and any necessary changes will be made before final approval.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to note that the workflow may vary depending on the specific requirements of the survey and the size and complexity of the project.<\/p>\n
