Description

This course introduces the student to a wide variety of surveying applications undertaken as part of engineering projects. The student will be expected to perform common engineering surveying tasks such as the determination of volumes as well as the design, computation and set out of horizontal and vertical curves, roads, buildings and large structures. In addition, selected topics of specialist survey applications will be dealt with using lectures, site visits, guest speakers and technology demonstrations. Topics will be selected from the following areas of special surveys: mining surveying (including Azimuth transfer, north-seeking gyro theodolites, plumbing of shafts and high structures), industrial surveying, tunnel engineering, hydrographic surveying, alignments, monitoring of deformations and settlement of terrain, structures and machines, design of precise engineering networks, dimensional measurement.
