Roadway Design Surveys
What survey data does our road design need?
Also called: design survey, road design survey, dtm survey, or cross-section survey.
Understanding the work
Roadway design surveys document existing pavement, cross sections, drainage structures, and roadside features so designers can model improvements accurately. Agency standards for coding, accuracy, and file formats are agreed up front.
