Topographical Surveying for every project
GeoShape Surveys carries out topographical surveys across Taunton, the county town of Somerset, set between the Quantock and Blackdown Hills. We capture site levels, contours, boundaries and existing features on the ground, then turn them into accurate, OS-referenced drawings ready for design and planning.
Whether it is a new build, an extension or infrastructure works, our Taunton topographical surveys give a reliable base for design and planning, taking full account of a county town seeing steady residential growth on the levels between the hills.
What is a Topographical Survey?
A topographic survey involves recording the coordinates and elevation data of natural and artificial features within a designated survey area. A topographic survey is vital as it provides detailed information about the terrain, which is essential for various purposes such as land development, construction planning, and accurate mapping.

A total station is an advanced survey equipment that combines an Electromagnetic Distance Measuring Instrument, an electronic theodolite, and a microprocessor-based data collector and storage system. It enables accurate measurements of horizontal and vertical angles, as well as the distance from the instrument to objects, providing precise data for a topographical survey.
A typical total station is capable of measuring distances up to 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) with impressive accuracy, approximately 1.5 millimeters (0.059 in) ± 2 parts per million. This high level of precision ensures reliable data collection, allowing for a precise topographical survey. We adhere to industry standards to deliver reliable and precise results.
