Question 1

What is an engineering survey?

Accepted Answer

Engineering surveying is the process of determining the accurate measurement of a site. Engineering surveyors use a wide range of instruments to assist them with their work. These tools will help them determine the positions of boundaries and the distances, as well as the angles between them.

Surveying for engineers can also help them determine the best location of a project. The accurate measurements and the maps created by an engineering surveyor can come in handy in determining the best possible design and planning of a project before construction.

Question 2

What is the purpose of an engineering survey?

Accepted Answer

The purpose of an engineering survey is multifaceted. An engineering surveyor is needed in creating maps, planning and estimating new projects such as water supply and irrigation schemes, railroads, mines, transmissions lines, bridges and buildings.

Question 3

What is the importance of surveying in civil engineering?

Accepted Answer

Surveying is one of the basic requirements for all civil engineering projects. Accurate measurements and the position of points of the site helps civil engineers with the planning and designing of different projects such as bridges, highways, tunnels, dams, and many more.

Question 4

What is the difference between surveyors and engineers?

Accepted Answer

A surveyor provides site information to engineers, providing them with site-specific details that could help them in making their plans. The survey taken by a surveyor acts as a basis that helps engineers find the ideal location for a project. For example, an engineer determines how much weight an infrastructure can hold, while the surveyor outlines where the foundations of the infrastructure should be located on the land.

Question 5

How much does an engineering survey cost?
