The uses of contours- Contour survey in Tuncurry

Many don’t know the real importance of contour maps and simultaneously, contour surveys in Tuncurry. Both are very helpful since they provide important information about the topography. A few of the uses of contours are as follows:

· The nature of the land and its gradient can be approximated

· Earthwork can be approximated for civil engineering plans like railway, road works, canals, dams, etc.

· It is likely to identify an appropriate site for any project from the contour map of the area.

· The Inter-visibility of points can be determined using contour maps. This is most helpful to locate communication towers.

What is contouring in the survey?

Contouring in the survey is finding out the elevation of different points on the land and fixing these points of the same horizontal positions in the contour map or chart. To use vertical control levelling work is done and simultaneously to use horizontal control chain survey or plane table survey or compass survey is to be done.

If an instrument like theodolite is used, both horizontal and vertical controls can be accomplished from the same tool. Based on the tool used one can categorize the contouring in diverse groups. There is contour and boundary survey cost in Tuncurry for such work that you must discuss before securing a contract.

Contour maps are tremendously useful for a variety of engineering works:

· A civil engineer finds out the nature of the land to identify. An appropriate site for the plan works to be taken up.

· By drawing the part in the plan, it is possible to know the profile of the land along that line. It helps in finding out the deepness of cutting and filling if the configuration level of the road/railway is determined.

· Catchment area and therefore the amount of water flow at any point of the river can be established. This is very important to locate bunds, dams and also to know the flood levels.

· From the contour lines, it is possible to establish the power/capacity of a reservoir.

Zenith land surveyors can do such work in an orderly fashion. Of course, there will be land surveyors' cost in Tuncurry but it will be of great benefit once you choose to do it for any real estate acquirement and further project plans to be on the safer side and have documents for future use. Call for boundary, contour, residential or commercial survey soon.
