The essential function of a land survey for either residential or commercial property in Brooklyn, NY, is to determine the exact physical boundaries of the property, as well as the features of the property, both visible as well as under the ground. Issues such as drainage, elevation, encroachments, easements, and other types of issues can all be determined through commercial and residential land surveys.
Cutting edge land survey companies in Brooklyn, NY, are investing in technology to increase the speed and accuracy of their work. Rampa Land Surveying, P.C. is leading the way with the implementation of GPS and 3D laser scanning services. 3D lasers can also be called Light Detection and Ranging or LIDAR systems.
The Technology
Companies offering residential land surveys using 3D laser scanning invest in specialized and state-of-the-art equipment. One of the most recognized systems is the FARO Focus M scanner, and it allows for precise images of the property to be captured, compiled, analyzed, and reported on with a speed not possible with traditional surveying methods.
The laser uses a very narrow beam of light that is used to collect specific points of data in the field of the beam. This results in millions of data points that are collected and used to create a point cloud. This massive amount of data can be used to develop an exact 3D virtual model of the property, not just a series of points and topographical features on the property.
The use of the 3D laser also places any current structures in the model, and it can be used in any type of application. The choice of this technology in residential land surveys can be paired with site grids for construction or any other types of data, including topographical maps, for incredibly accurate and detailed property information.
