As-Built Surveys:
A survey performed to obtain horizontal and
vertical dimensional
data in order that improvements may be located and
delineated. back
Boundary Surveys:
A survey, the primary purpose of
which is to document the perimeters, or any one of them, of a parcel or tract of
land by establishing or re-establishing corners, monuments, and boundary lines
for the purpose of describing the parcel, based upon property deed research and
analysis. To be used for locating improvements on the parcel, dividing the

High Definition
Surveying:
A non-intrusive means of collecting detailed and accurate
as-built data. HDS uses a narrow laser beam to "sweep across" a target object,
so that mass amounts of data referred to as a point cloud can be gathered in a
short period of time. When these point clouds are displayed on a computer, a
highly detailed and rich representation of the target results, which is similar
to a 3D model of the target. back
