As one of the world’s oldest professions, surveying is still going strong. This means there is always a need for surveyors in a variety of situations.
When you’re building a new house, planning a construction project or even applying for home insurance, land surveyor in Wollongong is likely to play an important role in the process. Let’s take a closer look at the many ways that surveyors are involved in the development of Wollongong.
Planning
Surveying is the process of making relatively large-scale measurements of the Earth’s surface. This is done using a range of instruments and methods.
Planning controls the development of land in a city or suburb, including infrastructure, arranging big events, running a business, handling development applications or demolishing a building. Local planning policies regulate things like density, height, external design and siting, building materials, open space provisions and the level of developer contribution required to cover physical and community infrastructure costs arising from the proposed development.
The planning laws in NSW are constantly changing and the new liberal government is introducing a full overhaul. This can make the process of obtaining development approvals more difficult and expensive.
Military Operations
A military operation is a coordinated, planned military action in response to a specific situation. These actions may be combat or non-combat in nature and are designed to resolve the situation in a state’s favor.
In peacetime, the Army serves as a deterrent to war and helps keep tensions between nations below the threshold of conflict. Examples of peacetime operations include disaster relief and nation assistance.
In the event of an emergency, such as natural or man-made disasters, the US military provides support to local governments and NGOs through organized foreign humanitarian assistance (FHA) operations. FHAs are authorized by the Department of Defense’s Office of Political/Military Affairs (OFDA) at the request of a host government. These operations involve logistics, transportation, communications, relief distribution, security, and emergency medicine. The US military establishes a Joint Task Force (JTF) on-site to coordinate and manage the military personnel activities associated with a disaster or peacekeeping mission. This center mobilizes requests for aid and effectively functions as the hub for all military-related inter-military planning and coordination.
Car Calibration
ADAS calibration is an intricate process that requires the use of specialist tools and technology. The sensors and cameras that make up ADAS systems need to be aligned so they can function correctly.
The process can be performed in one of two ways: static or dynamic. Static calibrations are typically indoors using manufacturer-specific targeting equipment, while dynamic calibrations require technicians to take the vehicle out for a drive.
For example, a steering angle sensor may need to be calibrated after air bag deployment or structural repairs. It’s a simple task, but it can be time-consuming and a challenge for shops to do without OEM training.
Regardless of the type of ADAS calibration that’s being done, OEs recommend running a road test after it’s complete to ensure that it’s working properly. Ideally, this test should be on a long stretch of straight road with a steady speed limit and no mandatory stops.
Road Construction
Road construction is a crucial part of the development of any city. It makes it easier for people to get around and stimulates economic growth.
Surveying is an important part of this process, as it ensures that the new roads are safe and paved correctly. It also helps to make sure that traffic patterns are sorted out before construction starts and prevents any legal or financial complications from arising during the process.
Surveying is essential during all stages of a road construction project. It involves setting out a line of road, placing profile boards at intervals along the proposed line and using a traveller for controlling excavated levels between these boards.
