Synopsis

Here, the students are introduced to conducting of an engineering surveying task. Control survey, grid setting out and detail survey and levelling activities are involved. After the engineering plan preparation, a route designing and setting out task is provided. Apart from that, various documentation and progress presentations are included to provide a realistic scenario as in the real engineering task. This is an out-camped task including astronomical observations.

 

Practical tasks

  • Mobilizing & Camping out
  • General briefing, site reconnaissance, project planning &preparation
  • Control Survey (GPS/Total station/Levelling)
  • Astronomical observations
  • Detail survey and levelling
  • Plan work and drawing (CAD plan)
  • Setting out
  • Earthwork computation
  • Report writing & Project presentations
