  1. The Relationship Between Surveying and Civil Engineering Tulsa Oklahoma Civil engineering Tulsa Oklahoma and surveying are vital careers to modern society. Without either, many buildings, structures, and other construction projects may be unsafe. Even though they are separate disciplines, civil engineering and surveying are closely related, as professionals in both fields often work together on projects. How are Civil Engineering Tulsa Oklahoma and Surveying Related? Before understanding how civil engineering and surveying are related, it is important to know how these roles uniquely contribute to projects. What Does a Civil Engineer Do? Civil engineers work on planning, designing, building, and supervising construction projects to aid in their success. A civil engineer may contribute to a project in a variety of ways, including: Determining the project’s total costs. ● Locating and solving any projected issues that arise. ● Confirming that the project meets all regulations. ● Designing and creating plans that meet the timeline and budget, if possible. ● Conducting research of records, maps, and other documents to determine if the project is achievable. ● Along with these critical tasks, professionals in civil engineering Tulsa Oklahoma must work closely with various parties throughout the construction process, including the client, surveyors, and more. What Does a Land Surveyor Do? Surveyors use in-depth knowledge of mathematics, engineering, and physics to do their work. Before they survey the land, they conduct thorough research on the land by reviewing legal documents, existing surveys, and more. Land surveyors will then measure and collect data on the specific features of a parcel of land using specialized equipment. Depending on the project, a land surveyor may conduct different surveys to obtain the required information. For example, a surveyor may conduct:

A topographical survey to measure and note various natural and artificial features and structures on the property. ● A GPS survey Tulsa to create a detailed map of the land when traditional equipment cannot be used. ● A boundary survey to precisely define the land’s boundaries and corners. ● A subdivision survey to divide the land into smaller parcels for commercial development. ● The surveyor then uses the data to create a precise land map. The information provided by the surveyor is helpful in multiple fields associated with the project, including architecture, engineering and land planning Oklahoma. How Do Civil Engineers and Surveyors Work Together? Civil engineers may call upon the services of a land surveyor at various stages in the construction process. A land survey may be needed initially for civil engineers to assess and plan the project accordingly. Topographical surveys are common in the beginning stages. A surveyor may also be needed for an as-built survey after the project is completed. An as-built survey is used to compare the initial plans and the final results to ensure the project was successful. Do I Have to Work with Separate Firms if I Require Both Services? Most development and construction projects need the expertise and skill of both civil engineers and land surveyors. Some engineering and land planning Oklahoma firms, like Sisemore & Associates, have professional surveyors on staff for more effective project cooperation. By having both services at one firm, the professionals can collaborate more effectively and efficiently. This may help with the project’s timeline and overall success. Find Surveying, Engineering and Land Planning Oklahoma Services Civil engineering and land surveying are crucial to the success of many development and construction projects. While both offer exceptional skills and expertise, they work together to complete projects safely, on time, and on budget. By partnering with a firm specializing in both, you get the added benefit of established collaboration and greater efficiency.
