Surveying Equipment
Surveying equipment includes tools used to measure distances, angles, and elevations on the Earth's surface. Common instruments include theodolites, which measure angles, and total stations, which combine the functions of a theodolite and an electronic distance measuring device. These tools help surveyors create accurate maps and determine property boundaries.
Other essential equipment includes levels, which assess the height differences between points, and GPS receivers, which provide precise location data. Additionally, measuring tapes and tripods are used to support and stabilize instruments during surveys. Together, this equipment enables professionals to gather critical data for construction, land development, and environmental studies.
