Topographical Surveys

Unlocking Your Site's Potential with Topographical Surveys

**Topographical surveys** are a fundamental step for almost any land development project, from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure. They provide a detailed, accurate map of the natural and man-made features on a property, as well as its elevation changes.

At **HMP Survey & Design**, we use state-of-the-art equipment, including GPS, Total Stations, and drone technology, to capture precise elevation data and map essential features such as:

• **Contour Lines:** Showing changes in elevation.
• **Buildings & Structures:** Outlines and critical dimensions.
• **Roads, Paths & Paved Areas:** Detailed layout.
• **Utilities:** Manholes, hydrants, power poles, visible pipes (where accessible).
• **Drainage Features:** Stormwater pipes and culverts, and water bodies.
• **Vegetation:** Trees, bushes, and treelines.
• **Fences & Walls:** Property boundaries and barriers.

The detailed data from our topographical surveys is essential for:

• **Architectural Design:** Planning optimal building placement and foundation design.
• **Civil Engineering:** Designing roads, drainage systems, and utility networks.
• **Landscaping & Site Planning:** Efficiently planning hardscaping and softscaping.
• **Environmental Assessments:** Understanding water flow and ecological impact.
• **Volume Calculations:** Estimating earthwork quantities for cut and fill operations.
