Geospatial Engineering
Geospatial engineering is an important part of civil engineering construction projects. Before construction work starts, precise mapping and planning is a critical part of the project process.
Responsibilities – Geospatial engineers can be responsible for:
Specialisms – You may specialise in any of the following areas:
- Computer-based measuring to map the best position
- Producing up to date plans
- Setting out a site so that structures are built to scale in the right place
- Monitoring the construction process
- Providing control points so the future movement of structures, such as dams or bridges, can be monitored
Specialisms – You may specialise in any of the following areas:
- Land/Engineering surveying (preparing maps and plans to ensure that construction takes place to the dimensions and tolerances required)
- Hydrographic surveying (measuring and mapping all parts of the earth’s surface that are covered by water)
- Photogrammetry and remote sensing (producing an area plan from photographic images and using electromagnetic energy to obtain information about objects without touching them)
- Geographic Information Systems – GIS (collecting and presenting geographical information)
- Geospatial Information Management
- Utilities and Subsurface Mapping (the measurement, definition and portrayal of the characteristics of buried services)
