TYPES OF SURVERYING:
1. CADASTRAL SURVEYS branch of surveying which are generally performed to
subdivide land into parcels for ownership under a land title and to re-establish boundaries
of previously surveyed properties to determine the physical extent of ownership or to
facilitate the transfer of the property title. It involves interpreting and advising on
boundary locations, on the status of land ownership and on the rights, restrictions and
interests in property, as well as the recording of such information for use on plans, maps,
etc. It also involves the physical delineation of property boundaries and determination of
dimensions, areas and certain rights associated with properties, whether they are on land,
water or defined by natural or artificial features.
2. CITY SURVEYS - The survey made in connection with the construction of streets, water
supply and sewage lines fall under this category.
3. CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS - A survey that gives locations for construction work;
(otherwise known as "lay-out" or "setting-out") is to stake out reference points and
markers that will guide the construction of new structures such as roads or buildings.
These markers are usually staked out according to a suitable coordinate system selected
for the project.
4. FORESTRY SURVEYS - a complex of tasks that involves the division of a forest into
homogeneous areas and the description of the areas. The tasks performed include a
survey of the boundaries of the forest area, the division of the area into compartments and
the survey of the compartment grid, the establishment of valuation plots within the
compartments, and the compilation of a valuation description, charts, and maps of the
stands. The valuation description gives the area and industrial characteristics of each
section of the stands, including the origin, composition, shape, age, density, volume, and
marketability index (the commercial evaluation) of the stands, as well as the average
height and diameter of the trees, the type of forest, and the presence of seedling growth
and brushwood.
5. HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS - the science of measurement and description of features
which affect maritime navigation, marine construction, and dredging offshore oil
exploration/offshore oil drilling and related activities.
6. INDUSTRIAL SURVEYS includes the alignment of precision machinery in anything from
the nuclear to production industries; provides information on quantities consumed by
energy type, related costs and breakdown by use of each type of energy used
7. MINE SURVEYS - the branch of mining science and engineering that uses measurements
made in the field, and also subsequent geometric constructions, as a basis for the study of
the structure of a deposit, the shape and dimensions of mineral bodies in the interior and
the location in them of components that are useful and harmful (for mining technology),
the properties of enclosing rock, the spatial arrangement of mine workings, and the
processes of stresses in rock and the earths surface in connection with mining work. It
also reflects the dynamics of the production process of a mining enterprise.
8. PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEYS - the science of making measurements from
photographs, especially for recovering the exact positions of surface points; The art,
science, and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects, and the
environment, through processes of recording, measuring, and interpreting images and
patterns of electromagnetic radiant energy and other phenomena.

9. ROUTE SURVEYS - branch of surveying which is comprised of all survey operations

required for design and construction of engineering works such as highways, pipelines,
canals, or railroads.
10.TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS branch of surveying which is used to identify and map the
contours of the earths surface. It is meant for plotting natural features like rivers, lakes,
forests and hills as well as manmade features like roads, railways, towns, villages and
canals.
