Topographical Surveys

Accurate terrain, feature and detail surveys for planning, design and development.

Accurate information for confident project decisions.

A topographical survey records what is physically on a site — ground levels, structures, features and visible services — as a measured base for planning, design and development decisions.

GeoSurv focuses on producing clear, usable survey information that integrates with the workflows of engineers, architects, contractors and project teams.

What is included in a topographical survey?

A topographical survey captures ground levels and contours, buildings and structures, visible services and site features, delivered as a detail plan suitable for use as a design base.

Typical deliverables

  • Ground levels and contours
  • Buildings and structures
  • Visible services and features
  • Site detail plans
  • Design base information

Project-specific approach

Survey methodology, control, accuracy requirements and output formats are selected to suit the project scope. Send through drawings, site information or the deliverables you need, and we will define the appropriate survey approach.
