ISOLATED SURVEYS 1
OUTLINE:
Topics on Isolated Surveys can be found in
DMC 2010-13 specifically at:
• Articles 6 to 15: Pre-Survey Activities and
Field Operations
•Articles 21 to 24: Survey Returns
•Articles 29 to 32: Inspection Verification and

Approval of Survey Returns
ISOLATED SURVEYS 2
CONTROL FOR ISOLATED SURVEYS
Based on the standards, the quality of control to be used in an

isolated survey depends on the extent or area to be
controlled.
Area to be Quality of Control

Controlled (A)
A < than 1,500 has. Tertiary
1,500 ≤ A≤ 15,000 Secondary
A > 15,000 has. Primary
ISOLATED SURVEYS 3
CONTROL FOR ISOLATED SURVEYS
• For isolated parcels of land having an area of less than

1,500 has to be subdivided into 50 or more lots, at least
one pair of location monuments shall be established.
• The location monument shall be connected by a control

of secondary precision from previously established
reference point provided that no lots shall have a
distance of more than 1 km from the nearest point of
reference.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 4
METHODOLOGY FOR ISOLATED SURVEYS
The flow chart shown below shows the different survey

operations from the request for survey authority (if the land
is a public land) to the actual survey, up to the submission
and approval of the survey.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 5
PRE-REQUISITES FOR ISOLATED SURVEYS
Enumerated below are important data/information and

considerations needed in the conduct of isolated surveys
1. Tie-point, reference survey, common point
2. Tie-line information
3. Azimuth/ angle measurement
4. Distance measurement
5. Traverse/ control survey
6. Monumentation
7. Side-shots
8. Computation of the technical description of the subject lot
ISOLATED SURVEYS 6
• Item 1 provides information on the physical point that your

survey was tied or will be tied to.
• Item 2 will provide the location of the subject lot tied to

item 1.
• Item 3 and 4 are measured information from the ground

obtained using optical instruments or derived when using
GNSS.
• Item 5 control survey is required prior to any survey.

Information on the lot are obtained through observation
from a control point.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 7
• Item 6 is done to make sure that the land owner and the
neighbors are aware of the boundaries being set.
• Item 7 is the actual data gathering for the corners of the lot.
• Item 8 includes data processing that will provide the final

output: The TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 8
To further explain……
The following must be done to do isolated surveys
1. Investigation of the Adjoining Claims and Notification
of Survey
• All adjoining claimants/owners of the subject land be
notified either personally or by mail.
• A survey notification letter shall be prepared for the

information of the adjoining owner/claimant.
• The names and addresses of the adjoining

owners/claimants can be obtained through the survey
claimant if he/she knows
• This is done is strictly done especially if the land being

surveyed is a public land.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 9
2. Reference Lot/Survey, Relative Position of Survey, and Tie

Lines
 Tract of land to be surveyed must be tied to a reference
point (BLLM, BBM, MBM, etc.) using a closed circuit
traverse or using differential static GNSS survey.
 A reference survey can be used in case the reference

point cannot be occupied
 Reference Survey is a previously approved survey with

available plan and data or title and on file with the
government agency concerned.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 10
3. Marking/Monumenting of Lot Corners and Adverse Claims

 Monumenting shall be done in the presence of the
adjoining owners/claimant to prevent conflicts.
 Monumenting means putting on ground a marker, we

call it mojon, on the ground that describes the
intersection between boundary lines.
 If there is an adverse claim, the boundary of the counter

claim shall be monumented and indicated on the plan as
contested lot.
 The name of the contestant be indicated on the lower

left portion of the plan.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 11
4. Lot Survey
 After monumenting, the survey of the subject lot can be
started.
 Run a traverse/Static GNSS survey that will provide
control points for the survey.
 The prescribed accuracy for isolated survey is of Tertiary
Accuracy.
 Boundary corners which are not occupied and used as
control stations can be located through side-shots from
the control stations using optical instruments or GNSS
(specifically using real-time kinematic (RTK) or post-
processed kinematic (PPK) methods)
 Control points must be strategized and placed as close
and clear as possible so that corners can be observed.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 12
TYPICAL ISOLATED SURVEY SET-UP
The figure below shows a typical set-up in doing isolated

survey connected to a reference survey through a common
point. Side-shots of the corners are done from the control
point (shown as red triangles).

survey monument or marker, improvements used to provide
evidence of original boundaries;
ii. Give primary consideration to original survey marks,
except where other evidence, including original
measurements, position of improvements, or statements by
occupants, suggest that the original markers were incorrectly
placed or have been disturbed

OVERLAPPING OF ADJOINING SURVEYS
In the case wherein two or more lot surveys of two or more
adjoining lots overlap with each other. The following
solutions can be applied:
1. Overlapping of Adjoining Untitled Surveys
• The common boundaries between overlapping or adjoining
surveys must be agreed upon by the owners/claimants of
the surveys affected
2. Overlapping of Adjoining Titled Surveys

• The boundary of the previously approved and decreed
survey must be accepted and adopted by the ongoing
survey.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 36
ISOLATED LAND SURVEY WITHIN CADASTRAL
PROJECTS (DMC 2010-13 Section 60)
In case an isolated land survey is in progress within an

ongoing cadastral project.
1. The geodetic engineer must submit to the project chief

executing the cadastral survey within sixty (60) days from the
date of the survey order the list of surveys in progress.
2. Fieldnotes, computations and sketches/ plans of isolated

surveys is submitted to the concerned DENR-LMS for
verification through the chief of the Cadastral Project within
four (4) months from the start of the cadastral project.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 37
ISOLATED LAND SURVEY WITHIN CADASTRAL
PROJECTS (DMC 2010-13 Section 60)

ongoing cadastral project.
3. Surveys submitted after four (4) months is accompanied

with a satisfactory explanation to the RTD for lands for
acceptance or rejection of the survey for verification and
approval.
4. Upon approval of the contract or issuance of survey order

for the Cadastral Survey, the CENRO no longer issues and
survey authority.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 38
FIELD NOTES
• One of the usual requirement and part of the survey
submittal for any kind of isolated surveys.
• The field notes must contain all angle/direction and distance

observation of the closed traverse, the side shots, reference
azimuths, and the descriptions of the points or monuments
from which the azimuth are derived
• The field notes also contains all information and

observations related to the survey being executed
ISOLATED SURVEYS 39
COMPUTATIONS AND PLAN PREPARATION
• Computation of isolated land survey includes lot data

computation, traverse computation, astronomical azimuth
computation, and other be made in LMB forms designed
for such computations
• Plans must be done on proper LMB form showing all

pertinent information related to the land survey
• Please refer to Section 180 of DMC 2010-13 for the

standards for the preparation of an isolated survey plan
ISOLATED SURVEYS 40
SCALE IN PLOTTING SURVEYS
 The scale to be used in plotting surveys shall depend on
the difference in coordinates of the extreme corners:
 The scale is computed based on the standard dimensions

of the survey plan template.
ISOLATED SURVEYS 41
SCALE IN PLOTTING SURVEYS
Scale = Extreme Corner Distance / 0.333

(RoundUp to nearest hundreds)
Example: Extreme Corner Distance = 67 meters

Scale = 67/.333
= 201.2012
= RoundUp (201.2012)
= 300
The scale is 1:300
Note: Again the computed scale is correct based on the

dimension of the BL Form survey plan template
