Surveyor in Rzeszów. Who is he and what is he doing?

Surveying is a field whose effects surround us at every step. The buildings we pass by on a daily would not have been built if surveying had not been carried out earlier, which consisted in designing and performing measurements, as well as analyzing them and creating orthophotos. Who are the surveyors and what exactly do they do?

Who is a surveyor?

You can most often meet a surveyor at work, standing on the side of the street and measuring the land with a device that looks like a camera. Currently, all construction works, such as the construction of buildings, roads, and bridges, must be carried out under the supervision of surveyors. A person with this education is a specialist working in a profession related to science, which is geodesy. He deals with situational and height measurements of areas and transfers them to maps. To become a surveyor, you need to obtain qualifications that will allow you to carry out geodetic works. Surveyors can work in areas related to geodesy, such as:

  • basic geodetic measurements,
  • geodetic investment service,
  • geodetic situational and height measurements,
  • photo geometry and remote sensing,
  • map editing.
