Quick survey facts

Posted on January 24, 2012 by survey ninja

Surveying has been an essential element in the development of the human environment since the beginning or recorded history, about 5,000 years ago.

Surveying is required in the planning and execution of nearly every form of construction.

Under the Romans, land surveyors were established as a profession.

In the U.S., Land surveying was one of the first professions to require professional licensure.

Surveyors use units of feet wherein a survey foot is broken down in 10ths and 100ths.
