Types of Survey

1. Geodetic surveys are precise and over large areas require the
curvature of the earth to be considered. Distances and angle
measurements must be very, very accurate. A wide variety of
techniques are used including triangulation, traversing,
trilateration, levelling and astronomical direction fixing.
