Day-in-the-life of a land surveyor

My name is Anthony and I study Geomatics engineering in Ahuntsic College. This College is in Canada, more accurately in Montreal. Geomatics engineering is mathematics applied to Earth measurment. Geomatics engineering  is my field of study, so this is why I decided to do a summarize about a day in the life of a land surveyor.

                           The schedule and the place

A land surveyor work in general 8 hours a day and 5 days each week. The place you work when you're a land surveyor vary a lot. He works in an office and outside, when he's outside, he will face the temperature. Sometimes the temperature is really hard to face, for example its possible that the surveyor work even in a snow storm or in a heat wave. They're is several landscapes where you will work too, like in a forest or in a city.

                                      The beginning of the day


First, the land surveyor goes to his office and drink a coffee, the he receives some papers about the field his going to work on. He goes to his truck and go to the field with 2 other peoples. When the squad arrive at the field, they start deploying the gear they will need for the expedition and to help them to collect the survey data. The gear involved chainsaw, squad or ski-doo, the latest survey equipment and all the other tools.

                                     The middle of the day


After the squad is done installing the gear, the land surveyor goes to the proposed well sites, then he collect their point using his gadgets. After this, he will still need more information so he continue to shoot topography, and one of the other people in the squad will send the information to the office.

                                       The end of the day


At the end of the day the land surveyor go to the points with a colleague and put the base station. Then, they mark up the well site as an access road, this will help with the environment reclamation. After this, the squad go back to the office with the truck and the gear. The day is now over.
