Charting and Surveying

Charting and surveying involve measuring and mapping land, water, or structures to create accurate representations. Surveying determines precise positions and distances using tools like GPS and total stations, helping design and build infrastructure. Charting takes this data to produce detailed maps or charts, such as nautical or topographic maps, to guide navigation, construction, and land use planning. Both processes are essential for ensuring projects are accurately located and safely constructed, relying on scientific techniques to interpret the physical environment accurately for engineering, planning, and development purposes.
