Geodetic Survey


Instrument use in geodetic survey.....................................................

Main instrument for Geodetic Surveying :

Theodolite: It is the basic surveying unit used for Geodetic Surveying . Theodolite consists of a telescope which is placed on a swivel and it can be rotated both horizontally and vertically. Triangulation point are determined by the theodolite in Geodetic Surveying . Two circles-one vertical and another horizontal, are used to read out the readings. But in the modern theodolite the reading is done electronically. Geodetic Surveying can be done by geographers, engineers and surveyors specialised in related disciplines.


Use of Geodetic Surveying :

  • Engineering purposes: The engineers uses Geodetic Surveying for finding out the exact location of the concerned point or area. Latitudes and longitudes are needed for any engineering constructions.
  • Construction purposes: The builders used Geodetic Surveying for finding out the directionof the buildings or their exact location for vaastu shastra.
  • Land Surveying and assessment: The vertical elevation and the horzontal attributes , the latitude and longitudes of the area surveyed are found out through Geodetic Surveying .
Geodetic Surveying is thus considered as an important method of Surveying.
