CONSTRUCTION CONTROL SURVEY

Construction Control Surveys in the Buffalo, NY Area

Control surveys provide the standard of accuracy by establishing horizontal and vertical positions of points which are then used for job site planning. The control survey is the basis for all other construction planning that occurs. It establishes the plat of land that any construction will occur on. This ensures that there are no infringements on another property, zoning laws are followed, and reduces the chance of being fined by the city.

Construction Control Survey Methods

Triangulation

This technique is one in which unknown distances between two points are determined by using the trigonometric applications of triangles. This method is done using a triangle formed using three survey control points. By measuring one side of the triangle, the other two sides’ distances can be calculated.


Trilateration

This is a simplified version of triangulation. This is used only where the distance between the control points is sufficient, and no complex calculations are required.


GPS

The global positioning system is a very accurate method for construction control surveys. It is commonly used because it is quick and accurate. It can provide precise estimates of the position of the receiver’s antenna.
