Geodetic works

Definition

Geodetic works involve the examination and measurement of precise spatial areas. Their core tasks include mapping, land surveying, and soil analysis. Specialists who perform these activities are called surveyors (geodesists).

What are they used for?

Geodetic works are most commonly used when planning to build on a specific plot of land. For example, in construction projects, a geodetic plan is required and must be submitted to the cadastral authority. Surveyors also verify, determine, or modify property boundaries. In addition, they prepare project and construction documentation that is essential for building works.

Carrying out geodetic works requires specialized technical equipment such as GPS receivers, cartographic maps, mechanical measuring wheels, measuring tapes, and other surveying tools.

In the construction industry, geodetic works are an essential part of both the construction and design processes. Their main objective is to collect accurate information about land areas, space, and locations. This data is then analyzed and processed by surveyors into formal documentation.
