SURVEYING AS A ONE THE BACKBONE IN ANY DEVELOP, DEVELOPING AND DEVELOPED COUNTRY
Surveying is
the one of oldest professions in the world, still the best, lucrative
up-to-date and cannot be under-rate in our society, because it’s the “Bedrock
of meaniful and any sustainable development” as it is quoted in her
motto, because before any development can be lay hands on the survey of the area must be done by
expertise, in other to have Certificate of Occupancy(C of O) of the parcel.
Actually the
profession as gone beyond the land survey, and no more limited to landed
property alone but now includes water and air known as Hydrographical and Photogrammetry/Remote
sensing survey respectively. It
has advanced technologically with the use of sophisticated instruments ,
the profession gone beyond the use of
chain or tape for measuring the perimeter of land, so as well advance than the
use of some of old techniques like: triangulation and trilateration.
Nowadays almost all the project successful done in past and the present on
going development project, which usually in involves survey practioners
/expertise such project includes: Engineering works, Perimeter boundary survey,
Political and Health sector, Security sector( Military/Para-military
intelligence), Transportation sector(Mapping), Geological projects , and many more.
As a matter of fact surveying as plays
vital roles in the development of many countries in the world. Precisely in
some of all the project above which has been highlighted above will be
discussed briefly below so as to enlighten and broad Horizon of people in the
society, specifically on this profession.
Engineering works: To execute any
meaniful project surveyors are to be called on to supplies all the necessary
data such as X,Y,Z (i.e. Northing,
Easting and height of point), before,
during and after the commencement of the project so as to ensure necessary work
is done, to the meaniful goals set out on for the project, for instance drainage system, oil/gas/water
pipe laying to ensure free flow of liquid or gas, construction of roads,
bridges, railways, dams to supply Easting, Northing, Height of actual points,
etc.
Perimeter
Boundary Survey: this has caused a lot of atrocities in the society whereby
most of the land owners, real estate
owners which do not involves survey
expertise/practionner to handle survey
operation on their lands thereby fall into the traps of the victims may be due
to the cheapness in cost, ignorance, or negligence of people which might cost
them a lot of money at the end, because with improper survey plan certificate
of occupancy will not be issue to the owner of land, which is very useful , in
which I will discuss about it usefulness in the next Article.
Political and
Health Sector: survey could standardize and improve our election exercise as
well as health, there should be road sign showing nearest polling unit and as
well the nearest hospitals along the roadway with their consecutive distance
and directions, they should be as well uploaded on all navigational
applications such road maps, navigation apps. ,google maps etc. to make life
easier and comfortable for people to live.
Security sector( Military/ Para-military): Survey
professionals/expertise in this sector are needed for accurate and standard
security to reign in the country , because they majorly performs some tasks
show map production and map interpretation(to know where some noticeable
features are through Topographical map, such as mountains, hills, valley, rivers,
streams, marshy area, forest etc ,
during warfront. where to: hide , march
pass, to launch missile, and attack enemies , etc.
Transportation sector (mapping): Extensive role has been
plays on this sector of any country …
Wow! Today people can travel by themselves to the place
they’ve not being to before, with the
aid of navigational devices or navigational applications on phone with Global
Positioning System(G.P.S).which will
shows you direction or route to pass to reach your destination, this is as a of
advancement in technology brought survey profession and this is one of the
major reasons for calling today’s surveyors “Navigators”.
Furthermore, survey profession does not
limits on land survey, but also plays much
impacts on air and water as well, to the extent no aeroplanes and ships cannot without take survey expertise to lead them
so as to show directions (bearing) to head on due to the fact that the
surveyors are to interprets maps which no one else can do, so as to ensures
save trip to destination.
Geological projects: After which the geologist has located
the area on or beneath the earth surface, then survey will be carried out to
determining the extent of the land, i.e mining
survey will be done, the all other necessary data will supply to aid the
project.
