Topographical Survey
Working on a new land development or construction project that requires a topographical survey? Bonisch is the name to trust. We work with clients on large and small scale commercial, industrial, and residential developments to provide topographical surveys that meet their needs.
Bonisch completes both aerial and ground based topographical surveys to collect detailed information about the topography of your land and check its feasibility for construction. We provide both digital and hard copy datasets for designers to work with throughout the project lifecycle. We are Registered Professional Surveyors and Licensed Cadastral Surveyors who can help you get the most accurate survey data for your land development project.
Bonisch also works with a list of other professionals and contractors who assist us in gathering spatial data about your site. We have relationships with Geotechnical Engineers, Geologists, and Ground Penetrating Radar operators who we work with to gather the key information about what is in the ground below your site before you proceed with development. These people allow us to identify the locations of underground utilities and potential constraints of your land to provide for educated decision making.
What Is A Topographical Survey?
Topographical surveys are the crucial foundation for land development projects. They offer a detailed model of a site's existing spatial features and terrain. They involve measuring and the elevation, contour, and configuration of the terrain, as well as the location of natural and man-made features such as buildings, trees, fences, and roads.
Accurate topographical surveys play a crucial role in providing designers with accurate and up to date spatial information for a site. This information is invaluable for architects, engineers, and other professionals to plan cost-effective site development, including building placement, civils and landscape design, and assessing the environmental impact of your proposal.
Our topographical surveys are the starting point for any design requirements of your development. From building pad locations and levels, to stormwater management, and roading network design and layout, our topographical surveys are ideal for it all.
When a Topographical Survey Is Needed
Understanding your site's topography and dimensions is essential for accurate planning and optimal use of land while adhering to local regulations. A topographical survey is required in various situations to have an accurate understanding of the land's surface features.
Building and construction design - A thorough topographical survey is vital before any construction work begins on both residential or commercial sites. They provide essential data for architects and engineers to plan layouts, design foundations, and ensure proper connections to services for buildings. With our topographical surveys, we provide boundaries calculated by a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor to allow you to design and position your building correctly within your boundaries.
Enhancing road infrastructure - topographical surveys are essential as a first step in road or accessway design. Understanding the land and any existing roading’s features is vital for creating a fit for purpose design which is cost effective while meeting your needs.
Flood risk assessment - topographical surveys aid in evaluating flood risks by mapping the land's elevations. This information is crucial for developing floodplain maps and determining areas prone to flooding, enabling better land use planning.
Contact Your Local Topographical Surveyors & Consultants
Our surveyors employ both traditional and modern techniques to map the topography of your site. We use cutting edge technologies such as drones, LiDAR and Laser Scanning to gather precise and detailed data about sites. Where these technologies are not suitable, our experienced surveyors utilise Total Station and GPS to fill in the gaps and provide accurate and cost effective topographical surveys of your land. This data is essential for your project and feeds into both the consenting process for land planning as well as architectural and civil designs.
