Topographic Survey in Chennai
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a boundary survey and a topographic survey?+
A boundary survey only marks the outer property lines. A topographic survey maps the entire inside of the plot, including the elevation (slope) of the land, trees, manholes, and the exact height of the adjacent road.
Why does my architect need a topographic survey?+
Architects need to know the plot's slope to design the foundation, drainage, and stilt parking ramps. They also need to know the exact road level to ensure your ground floor isn't flooded during Chennai monsoons.
Do you map underground utilities?+
A standard topographic survey maps visible surface features (manhole covers, electrical poles). For mapping buried pipelines or cables, we utilize specialized Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).
How long does it take?+
Fieldwork for a standard 2-ground residential plot in Chennai takes about half a day. The processed AutoCAD drawing is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
