Factual Information Regarding Land Surveying Equipments Of Today That You Should Know
One very important thing that you should know with regards to land surveys is that they have been conducted ever since the time man realized the importance of holding their own land and making sure that it remains theirs for as long as possible, until sold or bought. When a land is being surveyed, surveyors are using specialized tools and equipments so that owners will know how wide, how, far, how big or even how small the land they have is that is why there are lots of land surveying tools created for such a purpose. However, the land surveying tools used by the ancient people went out of fashion and was later brought back to life again during the Middle Age. During the Middle Age, the desire to hold a land was once again felt by the people of this day, aside from the fact that they want to know how much they own and want to protect the land that they own from others, hence, land surveying equipments were once again brought to existence.
If you are going to compare the land surveying tools and equipments used in the past with what we have now, you will see how they are very similar with each other, with the only difference being that the present equipments are touched with the latest technology. With the age of modernization and technology in the middle of its zenith, these equipments are going through some drastic changes, and of course, the computer is the one responsible for reforming this industry.
There are lots of land surveying materials being used before and even now such as the theodolite, a land surveying tools known for being one of the most popular and most commonly used one. Even as recent as ten years ago, the theodolite, regardless of the fact that they were more technologically advanced, were still being used for the purpose of conducting a wide variety of surveys. With the passing of time, there are now so many changes and improvements happening towards theodolite and one of which is it turning into an electronic one. Since theodolite was made electronic, its name was changed from theodolite to EDM or electronic measurement device or the what we call as total stations.
Another land surveying equipment that brought the industry into the age of computers is the GPS surveying. Speaking of GPS, this is an acronym that stands for Global Positioning System and is using satellite technology to do land surveying.
