Land Surveying

Centimetre-accurate measurement of land boundaries, elevations, and spatial features using GNSS, robotic total stations, and differential leveling — the foundation of every engineering, legal, and construction project.

Overview

Precision Measurement You Can Build On

Land surveying is the science and art of accurately determining the position, dimensions, and spatial relationships of points, lines, areas, and volumes on or near the Earth's surface. Every construction project, property transaction, and infrastructure development starts with a precise survey.

Planora's survey teams combine multi-constellation GNSS/GPS receivers with high-precision robotic total stations and auto-levels to deliver positional data that meets the most demanding engineering tolerances — down to ±3mm in controlled conditions.

We are registered surveyors under the Maharashtra Surveyors Act and hold national licences for cadastral, engineering, and hydrographic surveys. All our survey reports include full uncertainty analysis and are court-admissible for boundary dispute resolution.

🏆

Planora has completed over 200 major survey projects covering highways, urban areas, farmland, rivers, and mine sites — with zero tolerance for boundary errors.

Survey Services We Offer

📐

Cadastral & Boundary Survey

Legal demarcation of land parcels for registration, revenue records, and dispute resolution with sub-decimetre accuracy.

🗻

Topographic Survey

Detailed measurement of ground elevation, slope, drainage, and surface features for engineering design and grading.

🏗️

Construction Stakeout

Precision layout of building footprints, foundations, columns, alignments, and setbacks from design coordinates.

🛣️

Route & Alignment Survey

Corridor surveys for roads, railways, pipelines, and transmission lines — longitudinal profiles, cross-sections, and L-sections.

🌊

Hydrographic Survey

Bathymetric mapping of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and coastal waters for flood modelling, dredging, and irrigation.

🏠

As-Built Survey

Post-construction verification of built features against design drawings for compliance, handover documentation, and BIM integration.

⛏️

Mining & Volume Survey

Periodic volumetric surveys of quarries, open-cast mines, and stockpiles using total station and GNSS methods.

Utility & Infrastructure Survey

Precise mapping of underground utilities, overhead lines, and infrastructure assets for GIS integration and maintenance.

Methodology

Our Survey Process

01

Project Briefing & Control Planning

We review client requirements, existing maps, and legal documents. We then design an optimal control network to meet accuracy specifications at minimum cost. Reference benchmarks and existing geodetic control are integrated.

02

Field Reconnaissance

Survey teams inspect the project area, identify access constraints, obstacle zones, and establish intervisibility for control stations. Local permissions and safety briefings are completed.

03

Primary Control Establishment

High-order GNSS static observations are used to establish primary control points with sub-centimetre accuracy. Points are permanently marked with brass discs or concrete pillars and fully documented.

04

Detailed Data Acquisition

Secondary control and detail survey using RTK GNSS, robotic total stations, and auto-levels. All observations are recorded in real-time field data collectors with redundant measurements and QA checks.

05

Office Processing & Adjustment

Least-squares network adjustment in Trimble Business Center. DTM generation, contour interpolation, parcel area computation, and boundary coordinate calculation are completed to survey-grade standards.

06

Quality Assurance & Deliverables

Independent QA check by a senior surveyor. Final deliverables are compiled — CAD drawings, survey report, coordinate files, and accuracy certificates — and delivered via our secure client portal.

Field-to-Deliverable in Record Time

Our streamlined workflow from field acquisition to final CAD drawings minimises downtime and ensures your project stays on schedule.
