Topographical surveying provides detailed contours, at a specified interval and location, of planimetric features such as buildings, utilities, roads, drainage structures, and vegetation.

Topographical mapping is performed in a variety of ways. Traditional surveying equipment is utilized in areas of limited visibility, such as dense woods, while RTK GPS is used where more open conditions allow. For sites too large for traditional field methods, Blue Ridge Surveying & Mapping, Inc. subcontracts a local aerial mapping firm.

We are equipped to perform field services using the most cost effective method for the conditions encountered.

The GPS Survey utilizes Global Positioning System Satellites and GLONASS (Russian Satellites) to provide highly accurate positions/elevations over long distances.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Utilizing a constellation of at least 24 Medium Earth Orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, the system enables a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed, direction, and time. Other similar systems are the Russian GLONASS (incomplete as of 2007) and the upcoming European Galileo positioning system.
