Overview

The base layer every project starts from

At Project North Geomatics we use the latest technology to carry out our topographic surveys, or topo surveys as they're more commonly known. Using a wide range of equipment from GNSS and total stations to 3D laser scanners and drones, we produce fully comprehensive and accurate topographic surveys. Our surveyors take pride in their work and follow rigorous quality control measures no matter the size of the project.

What sets our topographic surveys apart is our commitment to precision. Using advanced surveying techniques and cutting-edge equipment, we capture detailed topographical information including elevations, contours and ground features. Whether you're planning a construction project, land development or environmental analysis, our topographic surveys provide the foundation for success.

What is a topographic survey?

Topographic surveys, sometimes known as topo surveys, are carried out by surveyors and are an accurate representation of an area of interest. They map and measure all man-made and natural features — site boundaries, buildings, roads, utilities, trees, walls and rivers — along with any relevant information surrounding the site, while capturing an accurate land profile and all relevant site levels.

Benefits & usage

Whether it's a small residential project or a large-scale industrial or commercial one, a topographic survey is a vital part of the early planning phase. As an accurate representation of all site features and levels, topo surveys are used by architects, planners and engineers to design and plan for the best possible outcome:

Optimising site layout & access Structure design & location Identifying site constraints Site levels Underground utility planning Off-site constraints

All of the above are vital parts of the design stages. A topographic survey provides the base for all design and planning work at the beginning of and during the construction phase — and the main benefit is that it helps reduce costly errors across the whole project life cycle.
