This complete guide to boundary surveying provides landowners, land
surveyors and students with the necessary foundation to understand
boundary surveying techniques and the common legal issues that govern
boundary establishment. Far from a simple engineering function, boundary
establishment is often a difficult and delicate matter, with real
monetary and legal ramifications if not accomplished accurately. This
book helps readers to understand why such challenges exist and what
remedies may be available. Using only simple and logically explained
mathematics, the principles and practice of boundary surveying are
demystified for those without prior experience and the focused coverage
of pivotal issues such as easements and setting lot corners will aid
even licensed practitioners in untangling thorny cases. Practical advice
on using both basic and advanced instruments is included, alongside
clear explanations of legal regulations that will impact any surveyor's
work. For those who desire a more in-depth treatment of the mathematical
aspects of boundary surveying, the Appendix includes the underlying
theory and many examples of typical calculations performed by boundary
surveyors.
