Surveying

With the advance of technology there is a new form of survey that is creating a lot of debate. It is called Coordinate based Cadastre. A GPS/GNSS based system of survey. In today’s world of surveying the debate is, whether to stay with the tried and true methods that are in place today for surveying, or do adapt and embrace the ever advancing new technology in the form of a coordinate based cadaster. This debate is being felt all over the world. Many provinces in Canada and other countries of the world are starting to look at the feasibility of incorporating this new technology. However, I will be concentrating on Canada for now. Seeing as the old and new system are capable of creating Cadastres lets first look at what a Cadastre is. Every…

in manpower and in time and differ in their complexity. The non-intrusive surveying techniques have contrasting strengths and weaknesses that are affected by variables, climate, environment and time of day. This essay will look at these techniques and look at how they are useful in locating sites and in what way they are used to complement excavations and compare and contrast their limitations. Historic maps are often used in the preliminary planning of surveying a site during a Desk Based…

total of 16 questions, with 9 closed question, 4 open questions and 3 scale questions. Closed questions are fast to answer and can easily answered, these are also an example of quantitative research. Open questions are useful to get more descriptive answers allowing us to get more in depth answers to answer the question successfully, open questions are an example of qualitative research. Finally, we have scale questions which are useful to get more detailed responses of how people feel about…

Due to regulations in the past, Farnsworth Paper Works, Inc., has an increasing buildup of fly ash on our property that has not been properly disposed.

As a new member of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, I have been assigned to do a GPS survey and a GIS analysis of the Kennedy Valley Trail (Sam Rayson Valley Trail) for the purpose of the development of the trail as there are no amenities in the trail. To get a general idea of how things are placed in a trail, I did a pre-survey on the trail west of Kennedy Rd. (Etobicoke Creek Trail) and found that it was quite undeveloped as well. Below is the data of how many light posts there…

Land surveying is the technique of determining position of points on the earth and using them to define boundaries and draw maps. It divides the land into parcels by providing correct descriptions, which is then assigned for ownership and other purposes. The original charter group from England brought the “Metes and Bounds” system of describing land or real estate to U.S. where it had been used for many centuries. It was used in the original thirteen colonies that became the United States…

Other evolved roles have also included project and facilities management, contractual disputes and litigation (Ashwotrh and Hogg, 2007). The quantity surveying profession in Malaysia…

Non-intrusive archaeological surveying techniques are a fundamental and beneficial process that are often the first step of an archaeological project. The wide variety of non-intrusive techniques can be adapted and used separately or jointly to suit the demands of the site and provide critical data. This data can be used to make research design and narrow down a site to the most promisingly productive areas to excavate to save time and money. Also, once a site is determined can be used to create…
