The City Surveying Office takes care of real estate, engineering and construction surveys. In addition, topographic surveys are carried out by the staff. Close cooperation with private engineering and surveying offices is also important for the work of the City Surveying Office.
Real estate surveys
Real estate surveys serve to secure ownership and provide information on the location, shape, size and type of use of land and buildings. The results are recorded in the real estate cadastre.
They include cadastral surveys and boundary surveys:
- Cadastral surveys are used to create parcels of land, establish parcel boundaries and mark them off, and record buildings and types of use for the real estate cadastre.
- Boundary surveys are surveys for checking the parcel boundaries and their demarcation in the field for consistency with their verification in the real estate cadastre.
The tasks of real estate surveying are: Land division, boundary determination, road and water surveys, building surveys, renewal and maintenance of the field of fixed points, processing of building land reallocations, continuous updating of the type of use of land and buildings, investigations in accordance with § 84 of the Land Register Code (non-objective rights), preparation of surveying reports in the event of boundary disputes.
Engineering survey
Engineering surveys are carried out in connection with the planning, execution and documentation of construction measures in civil engineering, structural engineering and horticulture. Surveys of existing buildings provide data for the 3D city model of Stuttgart. Topographic surveys of Stuttgart's varied terrain topography are also part of engineering surveys and are used to create the terrain model.
The scope of engineering surveying includes:
- Draft surveys (building application site plans) and building surveys
- Urban topography, data acquisition and continuation of the topography
- green areas, sports facilities, cemeteries, determination of vegetation and pavement areas
- landfills, mass calculations, pipeline documentation
- Contracting of surveying services, image flights, photogrammetric evaluations, aerial image evaluations (§ 49 ZO) as well as contract drafting and contract preparation
- as-built surveys
- Building and boundary certificates, terrain confirmations
- Boreholes for subsoil investigations, groundwater measuring points
- Settlement and inclination measurements
- Longitudinal and cross sections
- Data determination for the geographic information system (GIS) Stuttgart
