  • Running a one man survey operation inside an engineering company makes you really wish for that quick walk by glance from another experienced person. Schedules and completion dates set by others can really make you insecure. That all mighty checklist and project flow chart gets to really be indispensible.

    Maintaining equipment to insure accuracy is something to be considered. This means keeping records of maintenance and baseline checks on equipment used to make measurements with. Utilizing the correct formulas in resolving ambiguities in data is something else. Also there must be a system of redundant checks on both data and analysis. We have all looked at a map we are making as part of a survey we are performing that we have spent hours and hours on and thought wow what a great map. Somebody else walks by and glances at it and immediately identifies a glaring error you have made.
