Surface surveying services

CPC v2.1 Code: 83421

About surface surveying services

cpc code 83421 covers the provision of surface surveying services, which are essential for a wide range of industries and applications. Surface surveying involves the measurement and mapping of the Earth's surface, including the identification of topographical features, boundaries, and other spatial data. This information is crucial for activities such as urban planning, infrastructure development, resource management, and environmental monitoring, among others. As a key component of the broader geospatial services industry, surface surveying plays a vital role in supporting the growth and development of various economic sectors.

Production process

Surface surveying services typically involve the use of a range of specialized equipment and techniques. This may include the use of 83422 Aerial surveying services to capture aerial imagery, as well as the deployment of 83423 Satellite-based remote sensing services for satellite-based data collection. On-the-ground surveying methods, such as the use of theodolites, GPS, and laser scanners, are also commonly employed to gather detailed measurements and spatial data. The collected information is then processed, analyzed, and integrated into comprehensive maps and models using specialized software and geographic information systems (GIS).

Production inputs

The main inputs required for surface surveying services include specialized surveying equipment, such as theodolites, GPS receivers, and laser scanners, as well as software and computing resources for data processing and analysis. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled professionals, including surveyors, cartographers, and GIS analysts, who possess the necessary technical expertise and knowledge to effectively carry out these services.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the surface surveying services industry are detailed maps, spatial data, and geographic information products that can be used by a wide range of industries and applications. These outputs may be consumed by 71111 Architectural services, 71112 Landscape architectural services, 71131 Engineering services, 91131 Environmental protection services, and 92111 Public administration services, among others, to support their respective activities and decision-making processes.
