Contour Mapping Drawings: Saving Time and Expense With New Developments

Contour mapping drawings prove essential in many engineering projects.

They allow for engineers to step into the plans and see issues and problems often overlooked or not seen using traditional drawings.

The most highly publicized uses of contour mapping highlights NASA’s need to detail planetary topography for various reasons.

From landing sites to exploration regions, demanding minute details of the area or region assures a mission successfully accomplished.

Beyond topography, buildings, structures, and other features that impact engineering projects come to life with contour mapping.

The need arises according to Stanford News‘ interview with Martin Fischer, a professor of civil engineering at Stanford, because, “Renovation projects live and die by the quality of information.” Underscoring that many projects involve renovation of buildings, singling out the identifiable factors that turn success to cost overruns.
