Topographic Surveys_ What You Need to Know
                     Topographic Surveys: What 
You Need to Know
What Is Hydrographic Surveying?
A topographical survey is a precise representation of a 
site (property, area of land, defined boundary) that is 
scaled and detailed to show all-natural and manmade 
features and their levels. A topographical survey is 
extremely detailed and necessitates the participation of 
topological professionals to ensure the accuracy of the 
reports provided.
What is the purpose of a Topographical 
Survey?
The goal of a topographic survey is to collect spatial data 
about the site and its natural and man-made land features. 
This is frequently linked to national Ordnance Survey grid and 
datum information (often via GPS) and is surveyed point by 
point. It is commonly accepted that points are positioned in 
three dimensions, which facilitates the production of ground 
modelling and visualisations from the topographical survey.
In a topographical survey, what is likely to 
be surveyed?
● Area delimitation lines
● Structures and buildings
● Furniture for the streets (such as benches, bollards, post boxes, 
phone boxes, street lamps, traffic lights and signs, public transport 
stops, public lavatories, memorials, public sculptures, and waste 
bins).
● Positions of trees, bushes, and vegetation
● Watercourses (such as brooks, streams, ponds and lakes)
● Ground elevations, contours, and surfaces
● Drainage characteristics
● Levels of water
● Features close to the site
Future resource planning
Engineers can conclude project feasibility in phase 
planning. The surveying procedure also aids flood 
control systems by anticipating potential flooding 
zones and offering mitigation strategies. Flooding 
zones can also be forecast by observing and 
researching how the seafloor evolves near the 
coastline and comparing the structure to any 
tsunami or flooding events.
What are the advantages of a Topographic 
Survey for my property?
Obtaining the correct information early in the 
design stage of a project — whether a 
topographic survey, topological survey, or any 
other type of land survey — can save significant 
time and money. We only use highly-trained 
topographic land surveyors, ensuring that you 
get the best fit for your site.
