Survey the site

Land Surveying

Topographic surveying provides precise elevation and location data that serve as the foundation for construction projects, landscape planning, and infrastructure initiatives. Using 3D laser scanning, the terrain is mapped with millimeter-level accuracy—including slopes, walls, paths, and all other relevant features.

Precise Topographic Surveying

A terrain or topographic survey provides an accurate representation of a specific area.

This involves digitally capturing and analyzing the terrain surface.

Typical results of a terrain survey include:

  • digital terrain models
  • topographic maps
  • elevation data
  • terrain features

This provides a precise foundation for planning and project development.

Mapping of Natural and Man-Made Structures

During topographic surveying, both natural and man-made features are surveyed.

These include, for example:

  • Landforms
  • Vegetation
  • Paths and roads
  • Buildings and structures

These elements are fully documented and taken into account in the analysis. This results in a realistic digital representation of the entire terrain.

Flexible Analysis in 2D or 3D

The data obtained from the survey can be analyzed in various ways depending on the project requirements.

Typical forms of analysis include:

  • 2D topographic maps
  • Digital terrain models
  • 3D terrain representations
  • CAD-based planning documents

The presentation is tailored to the needs of the specific planning project. This creates a flexible data foundation for various planning processes.

Surveying of Parcels and Large Areas

Field surveying is suitable for both small areas and large tracts of land.

Typical project sizes include:

  • individual parcels
  • building lots
  • larger areas
  • infrastructure sites

The surveying process is tailored to the size and complexity of each project. This ensures a precise surveying basis for a wide variety of site sizes.

Analysis Based on Project Requirements

The analysis of terrain data is always performed in accordance with the requirements of the respective project.

The data is specifically prepared for:

  • Architects and planners
  • Project developers
  • Building owners
  • Government agencies

The results are structured so that they can be directly incorporated into planning processes.

This results in customized site documentation tailored to the specific project planning.
