Abstract
This project presents the findings of a perimeter and detailed survey conducted at the Chevron Main Office (TOPCON) Ekpan, Uvwie Local Government Area, Delta State. The primary aim was to produce a comprehensive report on the property's boundaries and the features present within the area. This was to facilitate adequate planning and guide future development initiatives for the company's yard. The survey was essential for understanding the current level of structures and
developments, thereby identifying how remaining space could be managed or utilized for new construction projects.
The methodology involved several key stages, including office planning, field reconnaissance, and rigoroustesting of the survey equipment, a South NTS 362R Total Station, to ensure data accuracy. Fieldwork consisted of perimeter line cutting, traversing to establish control points, and a detailed survey to capture all natural and man-made features. Notable features mapped include administrative buildings, a helipad, warehouses, car parks, a basketball court, and the concrete wall fence defining the property boundary. Data processing involved computing coordinates, checking linear and angular accuracy, and calculating the total area. The results yielded a detailed digital plan of the site, produced using AutoCAD 2007 software at
a scale of 1:2,500. The survey achieved a high linear accuracy of 1:37,000 and determined the total area of the property to be 9.006 hectares. Analysis revealed that a significant portion of the land remains developed, indicating ample space for future projects. The final plan and report serve as a reliable base map and a functional database for the various land use types, fulfilling the project's objectives and providing a vital tool for the company's infrastructural planning and decision- making.
