A Take On CT Land Surveyor Contracts

By Karl Zeiss


In the interests of drawing out boundaries for public or private property, a CT Land Surveyor must be consulted. The basic task is the identification of three dimensional coordinates and angle specifications of key points of interest. The heaviest users of their information are civil engineers as they seek to outline areas where projects such as road construction have right of way.

Modern day Geomatics have much to do with research conducted by surveying scholars in the past. The military has some of the most advanced equipment for use in landmap generation as a combat tactic in the battle field. The principles applied in ancient surveying projects still find use at present though the professionals may use more advanced tools.

For a person to have a successful career, he must display an understanding of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. One is also required to be versed with legal aspects of property ownership and contracts. Lastly is possession of skill to use state of the art equipment to obtain accurate information.

This profession is as old as the days of the Egyptian and roman empires. Early professionals had to use compasses and chains to measure angles and distances. The theodolite was an improvement on the magnetic compass by addition of telescopes for precise focusing. In place of an altimeter, today differential levels are preferred when it comes to measuring vertical distances.

The surveying job market offers a lot of opportunities for fresh graduates. Archaeologists have to create a boundary to define the site of an interesting find. In the marine sectors, surveyors employ their skills to generate maps of seabed topographies. They also provide information used in coming up with nautical charts.

one must lay a foundation by attending a course of an average four years in an accredited institution. For the sake of registration and issuance of a work permit, one must undergo some in house training by appointed authorities. In the course of the study, one must cover key units and attend a stipulated length of lectures.

It is a basic requirement that an applicant have completed a stipulated number of years in field or office practice. A select board will then subject applicants to a test on which a basis for issuance of the certificate is formed. They interact with other professionals such as engineers, environmentalists, , regional planners and the general public. It has been established that about half of the registered CT Land Surveyor work privately by running firms of their own.
