Surveying work is done across all types of industries and projects, including commercial development, utility projects, mining, residential development, large-scale infrastructure projects like roads and railroads, as well as in use cases in archaeology, architecture and more. Land surveying jobs are a part of most commercial construction and infrastructure projects.

Survey Equipment FAQs
What Is Surveying Equipment?
Surveying equipment is any type of tool or piece of equipment that helps a surveyor accurately measure, record and analyze data for a land surveying project. Loosely defined, they’re measuring tools that help professional, trained surveyors retain accuracy over long distances or in complex environments. There are several different types of surveying equipment that can be used depending on the specifics of your project.
How Does Surveying Equipment Work?
Surveying equipment records measurements in a wide number of ways depending on the type of environment you’re working in, what you’re measuring, and what equipment you’re using. For the majority of surveying jobs, surveyors use a tool called a total station that works by measuring the horizontal and vertical coded scales of a survey reflector and returning a measurement of distance and angle. Other high-tech gear, like GPS survey equipment, measures points and distance by receiving satellite signals and interpreting those signals to form geospatial measurements.
There are also types of land survey equipment for sale that work by using traditional technologies. Magnetic utility locators - often used in redevelopment, residential or commercial survey projects - can locate the presence of underground utilities (water and electrical) by conducting a current through the utility to a receiver. Similarly, lasers are used for measuring grades, distances and more by sending a laser beam to a desired destination.
Last but not least, there are plenty of tools used in surveying that allow for accurate manual calculations, like sight levels, hand levels and other optical equipment.
How To Use Survey Equipment
Whether you’re working on a small project or as part of a team on a large commercial survey project, the accuracy of your measurements relies on the quality of your equipment and utilizing the right process. From simple, straightforward tools like hand levels to more advanced equipment like total robotic survey stations and GPS survey receivers, a proper understanding of how your gear works and how to utilize it is crucial.
The core principle when using survey equipment is to capture measurement data, record it and analyze it for use in a construction or redevelopment project. Survey equipment helps you easily get incredibly accurate measurements and record them.
Once you have completed the survey, most survey equipment will allow you to consolidate and analyze the data either via a record of measurements or by exporting it in a format that can be interpreted by data analysis professionals and survey software.

Used survey equipment for sale is a great way to cut costs on your projects and get high-quality instruments without having to pay for new-cost gear. There are several considerations when you’re going to purchase used GPS surveying equipment:
- What condition is it in?
- How often will you use it?
- Is a warranty needed for this piece of equipment?
- How much will it cost to upkeep the survey equipment?
For most survey equipment instruments, it doesn’t make sense to buy used. You’ll have outdated technology and run the risk of having to maintain or repair an old piece of equipment.
