Concept explainers

Mapping

Mapping is the process of representing the surface of the earth, objects on it, and the relative positions of the objects, to a suitable scale. In mapping, a large area of land is measured, surveyed, and plotted. The details of the objects present in the nearby surrounding area are located using conventional signs. All these processes are carried out on a flat paper known as a map.

Question

9) Describe the steps a land surveyor would need to do when performing a boundary survey.

Determining the relative position of points on the Earth's surface and measuring the angle and distance between them in order to calculate the required parameters such as elevation and enclosed area.

i) The topography of the site is obtained by carrying out a land survey which by means of plans and sections will show the surface features on and adjacent to the site. These features will include the positions of boundaries, tress, hedges, ponds, rocky outcrops, roads, footpaths, telegraph poles, gates, buildings on and adjacent to the site, water courses, and ground levels. This information gives the architect an exact record of the surface configuration of the particular site. And before site investigation could be conducted to get the above information for the architect you need acquire a land. What is the relevance of land acquisition in the construction Industry? ii Suppliers should be chosen with the sole aim of maximum value for the company.
