Route location survey, planmmetric mapping, Bridge deformation survey,Topographical mapping and Land use land cover mapping.
The department of Geospatial and Space Technology ,University of Nairobi emblaces the new technology of mapping.This has exposed students to the rapidly growing technologies in the field of Geospatial .Such advancement include use drones in mapping, surveyors can capture many more topographic data points, hence more accurate volume measurements,Use of GNSS application in surveying aspects to facilitate faster and accurate data processing.
