Geodetic survey is one of the most successful techniques to assist mapping, boundary determination, roadway designing, property delineation, cadastral surveying, infrastructure development, community development, as well as resource evaluation. It mainly consists of establishing the horizontal as well as vertical positions of points or installation site, map, GIS or study area. These types of land surveys ascertain three dimensional point positions of fixed structures that can offer primary reference for subsequent engineering and building projects. These control points provide fundamental framework from which detailed site plans, topographic mapping, boundary demarcation, residential property surveying and construction alignment work can be performed. Uniform mapping coordination obtained by the survey supports the development of an exact statewide mapping system. It also provides a large-scale map base for a specific region as well as state land information systems that will enhance land records, engineering, land planning as well as economic development ...
... and community development.

Geodetic land survey methods are also used to effectively identify, monitor and evaluate external deformations in mega structures. Geodetic land surveying is also used for a wide variety of public and private applications like property delineation, military planning, geological exploration, civil engineering, telecommunication, real estate, environmental industries as well as reclamation work. It assists architects, builders, scientists and engineers to effectively identify the features on given land surface like roads, land use, elevation and any location in terms of coordinates. It also helps to determine special features pertaining to typical land usage patterns, elevations, drainage lines, mining etc.

The different methodologies used in the survey can be modified to exactly match the size as well as requirements of the land project. Land surveyors use the most advanced surveying technologies and tools like topographic surveys, ALTA / ACSM Land Title Surveys (ALTA Surveys), High-Definition Surveying - HDS (3D Laser Scanning), and GPS Land Survey to perform their services thoroughly and perfectly.
