ZIMBABWE ASSOCIATION OF BOREHOLE SURVEYORS – CODE OF PRACTICE

1. Introduction Surveyors are experts at measurement and use mathematics, physics, geology, hydrology and specialized equipment to measure, analyze and present information about the ground, and structures on it both surface and sub surface. Generally, surveyors are the first to commence fieldwork on a project. They will use their measurements to prepare plans, reports, maps and recommendations for other professionals, like drillers, project managers and researchers. This information is also useful to the public and clients for decision making.
