What do surveying and mapping companies mainly do? Is there any prospect?

Surveying and mapping companies mainly do engineering survey and cadastral survey. Cadastral survey mainly includes topographic survey, real estate survey and geodetic survey. For example, now the third national land survey.

Engineering survey is mainly about building engineering, such as control survey, lofting and tunnel survey. Measurement work is divided into field work and indoor work. The field work mainly uses measuring instruments to collect data, and the indoor work mainly deals with data processing and drawing.

The main measuring instruments involved are total station, level, theodolite and rangefinder. The software involved is AutoCAD, South CASS, MADGIS, etc. The measurement work is relatively technical and has a good employment prospect.

Of course, the salary is still related to the skills you have mastered. If you can only do simple things, such as putting a line on it, you will definitely earn less.

However, if you are good at controlling the layout, improving the level, measuring broken steps, drawing contour lines, dealing with indoor work, establishing databases, etc., that is another matter. If you are proficient in satellite applications, remote sensing, geographic information, surveying and mapping, digital highways, disaster warning, map navigation, smart wearable devices and other fields, not to mention.
