Synopsis

In this course, the students are introduced to the practical aspects of precise traversing with theodolite, precise levelling, survey of a moderate block and blocking out survey. The data collection in moderate block survey will be done using the total station instrument. Establishment of the controls and detail traverses will be introduced. Additionally, simple circular curve setting out exercise will be provided.
