SURVEYING DIRECTORATE

All geo-spatial data, in one way or another, relies on survey inputs to uniquely identify the geographical location of individual features. The geographical location of a feature is determined through surveying process. The process includes data capturing , data processing and presentation. Map is one way of presentation.

ACTIVITIES

  1. GEODETIC SERVEYING

    The main task of the department is to establish and densify the horizontal and vertical geodetic control points throughout the country. The geodetic control points are used to determine photo control points and other control points in the production of topographical map of a project area. These control points are useful to determine the geographical location of other map features.
    Currently, global positioning system is being applied in the process of establishing and densifying the control points. The GPS technology is more accurate, fast in processing and easier in observation and manipulation process.
  2. LARGE SCALE SURVEYING

    In large scale surveying different topographical , thematic, Cadastral and engineering survey works are being performed. The surveying work includes survey data capturing , processing and data presentation. The presentation may be only coordinate listing table along with descriptions and/or pictorial representation.
