Plane Surveying

Plane surveying is a method used to measure and map land on a flat, two-dimensional surface. It involves determining the positions of points on the Earth's surface using tools like theodolites, total stations, and measuring tapes, assuming the terrain is relatively level. This type of surveying is essential for constructing buildings, roads, and other infrastructure, providing accurate measurements for planning and designing projects. It simplifies complex land features by treating the area as a flat plane, making calculations more straightforward when the land's elevation changes are minimal.
