I was at the airport on the way home from a work trip, carrying our survey instrument.
An enthusiastic young man approached me and asked rather loudly, "is that a gun??"
Dude. Be cool. We're at the airport. It's called a "total station". Haha.

For too many project development managers, the land surveying portion of the construction process is just a necessary evil—something that they must take care of before the real work can begin. However, if you use the right technology, the land surveying process can be a source of real business value for the project as a whole. By getting the project off on the right foot with high-quality land surveying services, you can set the foundation for a project that gets completed on time and within…
There is a box or drawer full of old plats, blueprints and survey drawings that are collecting dust somewhere at your surveying company. Why not scan them into a file archive and monetize them? Imagine being able to sell access to those old surveys, retain the rights and permissions and make money twice with them. This is exactly what America's Building Records is providing the construction industry- the ability to do…
Not only are land surveyors expected to hold degrees or certificates in Land Surveying Management, Surveying Technology, Geomatics, or other similar disciplines, most states and governing bodies have continuing education requirements as well. This means school is nearly always a concern for land surveyors.
Here’s where things can get complicated. Land surveying jobs often…

I was rummaging through some of my files today and came across the Faircloth Notes. The document is called “Land Surveying in Alabama” by James M Faircloth. Faircloth was a professor in the Civil Engineering department at the University of Alabama. (Dr. Turner, it’s still hard for me to type or say that.)
During his 36 years at the University he taught Surveying, collected…

This research aimed to analyze double meridian distance for a closed traverse area in developing a land title for a proposed gymnasium in Qassim University. Total station, theodolite, leveling rod and steel tape plays an important role in measuring elevations, bearings, and distances of the boundaries of a lot. A contour map is necessary to determine the traces of level surfaces of successive elevation. This will enable to identify the type of contour map and type of contour lines…
