Surveying Equipment

Surveying equipment refers to tools used to measure distances, angles, and elevations to determine land boundaries and create accurate maps. Common instruments include the theodolite, which measures angles; total stations, which combine distance and angle measurement; levels, which assess height differences; and GPS units for precise location data. These tools help surveyors gather information for construction, land development, and environmental studies, ensuring that projects are accurately placed and aligned according to legal and physical requirements. This equipment is essential for planning and managing land use effectively.
