Surveyors in Dubai

Surveyors

Surveyors carry out the important task of measuring and mapping a particular space of the environment using mathematics, specialized technology, and equipment. Surveyors measure anything on the land, in the sky or on the ocean. Land surveyors use the latest technology such as GPS, robotic total station (theodolites) and aerial and terrestrial scanners to map an area, make computations and take photos as evidence. They then use software such as AutoCAD to draw plans and map onsite measurements. Aerial surveyors collect information from an airborne platform. Information can be collected from various remote-sensing sensors such as still and video cameras, thermal, multispectral and hyperspectral sensors. Aerial surveyors play a role in drawing maps after they have inspected the land from a plane. They also provide information to builders and help them understand what the land looks like before they start a project.

Surveyors work on different projects including mining exploration, land subdivision, tunnel building, and constructions. Land surveyors are experts in determining land size and measurement. They also provide the required information for engineers, architects, and developers to carry out the construction work.

The role of a surveyor is vital to the development of the landscape; from planning and designing of land subdivisions to the construction of roads, utilities, and landscaping. There are different types of surveying specializations such as land surveying, mining, engineering and surveying hydrographic. Some of the prime areas in Dubai to get in touch with surveyors are Dubai Silicon Oasis and Al Quoz industrial area 3.
