🎯 Why This Module Matters
- Mine Surveying introduces learners to underground measurement techniques vital for mineral exploration and safety.
- Hydrographic Surveying builds capacity for mapping water bodies — essential for marine navigation, infrastructure, and flood planning.
- Photogrammetry unlocks 3D spatial mapping skills used in construction, planning, and smart city models.
📡 Why It’s Relevant to Land Surveyors
- These specialized skills increase your value in industries like mining, marine infrastructure, and geospatial modeling.
- Photogrammetry allows for cost-effective aerial surveys using drones and remote sensing technology.
- You’ll be positioned for government projects, environmental work, and consultancy in high-precision survey sectors.
