SYNOPSIS

ENGINEERING SURVEY 2 gives knowledge and understanding about control survey, detail survey, data
collection or acquisition, calculation and plotting of survey works. The module puts emphasis on the
method used to carry out surveying works especially data collection or acquisition to produce plan
based on the scope of work. It also gives exposure to the need for accurate data to be used for other
surveying works.

COURSE LEARNINGOUTCOME (CLO)

Upon completion of this course, the students should be able to:

1. Applies correctly the fundamental principles and practices of surveying work. (C3, PLO1).

2. Perform appropriate instruments using standard procedure and current survey instrument.
(P5, PLO5)

3. Demonstrate positive leadership and team work by contributing actively in groups during
fieldwork that yield valid results. (A3, PLO11)
 Labsheet 1 : Traverse (Bearing & Distance) and Details Survey Plan Using Total
Station

1) Objectives

i. Apply concept distance measurement using Electronic or Laser Equipment

ii. Observe of horizontal angles, vertical angles, horizontal distance and vertical distance using
Total Station.
iii. Create traverse and observe the details from traverse station.

2) Materials and Tools

NO TOOLS QUANTITY
1 Total station
2 Prismatic compass
3 Tripod
4 Hammer
5 Prism
6 Picket
7 Field book/booking form

3) Theory
Principles of Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM)

Figure 1 shows a wave of wavelength λ. The wave is travelling along the x axis with a velocity of 299,
792.5 ± 0.4 km/s (in vacuum). The frequency of the wave is, the time taken for one complete
wavelength.

λ=c/ƒ
where λ = wavelength in meters
c = velocity in km/s
ƒ = frequency in hertz (one cycle per second)
4.0 PROCEDURES

4.1 Procedures Of Traverse

1. Conduct a field reconnaissance at given area determined by lecturer.

2. Start work by using us prismatic compass at first station and to get datum value.
3. Distance between stations must be more than 20 meters and less than 80 meters.
4. Set up the tripod and Total Station instrument at station point.
5. Level the instruments through the circle bubble is located at the center.

Figure 1: Cross-hair (bubble located the center)

6. Setup first prism as back station and second prism as forward station

Figure 2: Setting up total station and prism

7. Focus and target first prism (back sight)
8. Measure for bearing, horizontal distance, vertical angles and slope distance.
9. Transit Total Station to forward station and target the prism (foresight).
10. Measure for bearing, horizontal distance, vertical angles and slope distance.
11. Repeat above steps to complete the traverse.
12. Each group must conduct first class traverse, complete with field book and
traverse adjustment calculation.

4.2 Procedures Of Detail Plan

1. Conduct a field reconnaissance at given area determined by lecturer.

2. Set up the tripod and Total Station instrument at station point.
3. Level the instruments through the circle bubble is located at the center.
4. After that, collect data each every point or station.
5. Booking and process the data collection to produce details survey plan.
6. Repeat above steps to complete the details.
