While surveying, the most important thing is that you measure precise measurements, which is possible by the right equipment only. Now, these measuring tapes, rulers, and laser devices are much easier and more precise to use for short measurements. For long measurements, you can always go with measuring wheels, fiberglass tape, and nylon-coated steel tapes.

 

  • Fiberglass tape - this is mostly used by people who have to measure a spot where steel tape cannot be used. These are plastic-coated tapes, which are durable to use.
  • Measuring wheel - the measuring wheel is also called the surveyor’s wheel. It is ideal to measure the distance between two points while walking. Its measurements are not precise but are used as estimated values.
  • Nylon-coated steel tapes - these are the most used measuring tapes by surveyors because it is precise and durable. You can easily use it in harsh weather conditions.

 

2.    Clinometers and Compass

A compass is an important part of your equipment while you are measuring plot and land real estate properties. It helps you to always know your direction when you are measuring unfamiliar land. Compasses can be used to measure the distance between two points just by walking in that direction, while clinometers are used to find the angle or the elevation of the land.

3.    Theodolite and Transit

These tools are used by the surveyors to measure the angles of the real estate commercial properties. Both of them can measure the horizontal and vertical angles of land. Experts believe that both of them are not accurate and can be used for estimated measurements, but theodolite is considered more precise than transit, by one-tenth of the second angle.

If you have to measure land quite often, you should keep in mind that you have to face a lot of harsh climatic conditions. Those climatic conditions are not supposed to be a barrier to your work, but you cannot compromise your health as well.

These systems are placed at a certain height, where it is easy to have a look at them from long distances. We recommend you use these with electronic distance measuring (EDM) to improve the accuracy.
