Land Surveying

Land Surveying is the technique, profession, and science of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them. We depend on surveyors to ensure order in the physical world around us and engineers depend on surveying to accurately record and map both the visible and invisible features of a given property. From legal descriptions to planning and design to construction layout and staking, surveyors play an integral role in the legal conveyance and development of land. At Asa, we recognize the critical role surveyors play in our world and we therefore invest heavily in the recruitment and retention of quality surveyors and in obtaining the latest technology to improve efficiency and accuracy.
