surveying technology

Surveying technology refers to the tools and methods used to measure and map the Earth's surface accurately. It involves using devices like total stations, GPS receivers, laser scanners, and drones to determine precise locations, elevations, and distances. These technologies enable surveyors to create detailed maps, boundaries, and layouts for construction, land development, and engineering projects. Advances such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) enhance accuracy and efficiency, allowing for quicker data collection and better analysis, ultimately supporting informed decision-making in land use and infrastructure development.
