Surveying
Site survey information can assist in the determination of property
or site boundaries, land ownership or use information, and government
agency jurisdiction. If such political information is already known,
surveys provide information useful during the remedial design or
construction phases of the project.
For example, construction contractors might be paid based on a
volume of waste transported from a waste site to a repository
(containment structure). Locations of historically or archeologically
important sites or materials will allow for protection of these
artifacts. Small-scale changes in topography affect surface or subsurface
water flow and drainage issues, which can in turn have real effects
on construction equipment. Knowledge of the exact locations of samples
allows project design engineers to infer the contaminant levels
or soil characteristics in the unknown areas between those specific
sample locations.
Different methods are currently available for site surveys. Each
method below is discussed in terms of precision, accuracy, convenience,
and other benefits from or impediments to its use.
