Vertical Control Survey – Spot Elevations

Home Services Vertical Control Survey – Spot Elevations

Encompasses the establishment of precise vertical reference points throughout a site. Surveyors use accurate leveling techniques to determine the relative heights or elevations of these points, which are then recorded as spot elevations on a map. This type of survey is crucial for projects requiring actual grading, drainage planning, and construction design. The resulting data helps ensure that the land’s contours and elevations are consistent with the project’s requirements, promoting proper water flow, stability, and alignment. Moreover, the survey process guarantees that the vertical aspects of the site are accurately represented and maintained according to engineering specifications.

Identify reference benchmarks or control points for elevation accuracy.
Establish additional temporary benchmarks as needed for the site.
Conduct field surveys to measure spot elevations at specific points of interest.
Verify elevations of critical features, including structures, utilities, and natural terrain.
Provide exact elevation data for design, construction, or floodplain analysis.
Generate elevation data reports and mapping, showcasing spot elevation values and their relationships to benchmarks.

Precise vertical positioning of features through spot elevations is totally guaranteed with this process. It essentially assists in design, construction, and assessment tasks. At the same time, it also promotes maintaining consistency by adhering to established elevation benchmarks.
