Geodesy

Professional geodetic works for assisting in construction work before construction, during the construction process, and when geodetic observation of deformations in buildings and structures is required for existing buildings before their renovation.

Geodetic works

Geodetic works comprise a wide range of tasks related to land measurement and mapping. These works include various activities needed to make accurate measurements of the land surface and objects, as well as data processing and use in various industries such as construction, cartography, land property management, infrastructure design, and so on. Here are the main types of geodetic works:

  • Topographic survey: Detailed mapping of land surface, objects and terrain. This data is used in cartography, infrastructure design and construction.
  • Cadastral survey: Delineation and documentation of land property boundaries that are essential for ensuring land ownership and management.
  • Geodetic engineering: Accurate measurement and documentation required for the implementation of infrastructure projects, such as the construction of roads, bridges, buildings and other structures.
  • Photogrammetry: Use of photographs to measure and map the surface of land, often using aircraft or drones.
  • GPS measurements: Use of the GPS system to determine precise coordinates at land surface sites.
  • Monitoring of deformations: Observation and measurement of land and building deformations that are important for ensuring safety and stability.
  • Bathymetry: Measurement of the depth and the bottom topography of water bodies.

Geodetic work requires high precision and specialised knowledge, as well as the use of advanced technologies to provide reliable and accurate measurement results.

 

Geodesy is required in many different cases where accurate measurement and mapping of land and sites is essential. Here are some of the main cases where geodetic work is required:

  1. Construction::
    • Construction of buildings: Accurate measurement of the land surface and area for the purpose of determining the location of the construction site, and the foundation level and layout of the building.
    • Infrastructure projects: Design and construction of roads, bridges, railways, tunnels and other infrastructure sites.
  2. Land property management::
    • Cadastral survey: Setting the boundaries of land plots, documentation of ownership, and protection of landowners’ rights.
    • Division and consolidation of land: Division or consolidation of land plots in accordance with the wishes of the owners or local government plans.
  3. Urban planning and development::
    • Spatial plans: Use of detailed cartographic data for the development of urban planning documents.
    • Engineering utility networks: Planning and construction of water, gas, electricity, sewerage and telecommunications networks.
  4. Landscape architecture::
    • Designing of gardens and parks: Accurate survey of terrain, elevation and other elements of nature in landscaping.
  5. Monitoring of land and building deformations::
    • Ensuring of safety: Monitoring and analysis of land and building deformations for the purpose of preventing potential threats.
  6. Resource management::
    • Forestry and agriculture: Measuring of the condition of land and plants for the purpose of planning and optimisation of resource use.
  7. Environmental protection::
    • Erosion and pollution control: Measurements to assess land surface changes and environmental impacts of pollution.
  8. Management of marine and water resources::
    • Bathymetry: Measurement of the depth and bottom topography of water bodies, which is essential for marine research, fishery research, and hydrology research.

Geodesy is also essential in many other areas where accurate measurements and data are necessary in order to make sound decisions and ensure successful implementation of projects.
