Keson Surveyor's Rope

Surveyors and builders need to make outdoor measurements that may be much farther than what you can do with a standard measuring tape. That’s why every land surveyor uses surveyor’s rope to get at least some rough measurements of the area they need to survey. It makes the perfect drag chain for making these preliminary measurements, and Keson surveyor’s rope has a reputation for being as lightweight as it is tough. It can endure regular use in mud, water, or over abrasive surfaces. So, it will last through years of rugged use. The graduated numbers go from the strap handle to the end of the rope, and the printed surface is treated with a non-glare textured vinyl.

Benefits of Using Surveyor’s Measuring Rope from Keson

Keson surveyor’s rope has easy-to-read markings in feet and inches that run from the strap handle to the end of the rope. Inches are marked in black, while feet are marked in red. The rope is made of a fiberglass blade, which is enclosed by white PVC that’s treated with a clear vinyl coating. It’s 1/4-inch wide, so it’s compact and easy to stub. The handle is attached by a swivel at the end of the rope, which can give you more flexibility while you’re measuring. Keson makes many styles of surveyor’s rope that come in 100, 200, and 300 foot lengths in both inches and tenths.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can surveyor's rope be used for?

Surveyor’s measuring rope is great for making rough measurements in an area you need to survey. It’s a strong tool with a handle and a durable blade that has various units of measure (feet and inches, 10ths, 100ths, or metric). Keson surveyor’s rope can also be used to measure water depths, which can be an advantage.

What's the difference between surveyor's rope and surveyor's tape?

Both short tapes and long tape measures are great for taking measurements, but you may need to measure a length that can’t be covered by a standard tape measure. Measuring wheels can work on level surfaces. But if you use them on rough ground, the results are less accurate. Surveyor’s measuring rope allows you to take accurate measurements regardless of the terrain.
