Case Study: Land Surveying and Geomatics in Infrastructure Development

The municipal government of Riverdale is planning the construction of a new bridge to improve transportation connectivity in the region. Land surveying and geomatics are essential for ensuring precise measurements and spatial accuracy. Consider the following scenario:

The surveying team is tasked with collecting data for the bridge construction project. They have already conducted a boundary survey and identified key topographic features. Now, they need to focus on aligning the bridge properly and considering factors that could impact its construction.

What aspect of land surveying and geomatics is particularly crucial for ensuring the proper alignment and stability of the new bridge?

A. Conducting a cadastral survey to determine property ownership in the vicinity.

B. Implementing a geodetic survey to establish accurate horizontal and vertical control points.

C. Analyzing soil composition and geotechnical conditions to assess foundation suitability.

D. Creating a 3D digital terrain model (DTM) to visualize the land features around the bridge site.

Select the correct option:

A. B and C only B. A and D only C. C only D. B and D only
