We’re Not Just Writing About Surveying—We’re Writing Toward It
There’s no shortage of noise in the surveying world these days—automation this, AI that, another software company promising the end of fieldwork as we know it. At the same time, public understanding of what surveyors actually do seems to be fading fast. Ask ten people on the street, and half will tell you it’s something to do with construction. The other half won’t be sure at all.
For many surveyors, this disconnect isn’t just…

The Line Isn’t the Boundary – Understanding Legal Constructs
Key Point: A boundary is a legal idea first, a physical point second.
You can measure it. You can mark it. You can stake it with millimeter precision. But that still doesn’t make it a boundary — at least not in the legal sense.
Surveyors learn early on that what seems like a straightforward line in the field often conceals a far more complex truth. A ā€œboundaryā€ isn’t just a line between two GPS points, or a fence line that’s been…

This week, the Geoholics hit the big 2-5-0, and what better way to celebrate than digging deep — literally — into the glamorous, pulse-pounding world of trenchless technologies and underground infrastructure!Ā Our guests, Sam "The Sultan of Subsurface" Ariaratnam and Firat "The Pipeline Picasso" Sever, taught us that real heroes don’t wear capes — they wear hard hats and dream of pipes bigger than your average minivan.Ā We learned that Urban infrastructure needs trenchless tech like a…

Good afternoon,I dont know much about the newest equipment, and I hope one of the members would be able to help me. I was a hydrographic surveyor for 2 decades. I also bought my own new Topcon GTS-725 total station in 2004. I always use this instrument to do projects at home. This includes building, garden planning etc.I bought a secondhand Topcon GPT-9001A on an auction a few weeks ago, as my family is very difficult to convince to hold the prism for me. At last I can doe as much survey as I…
