Study Notes
Surveying Discipline
- Primarily concerned with determining and representing the spatial relationships between objects on or near the surface of the earth.
Surveying Tools
- Linear distances are primarily measured using Tape and Electronic Distance Measurements (EDM) or Total station.
- Theodolite or Total station are used for angular and slope measurements.
- Technology used for measuring X, Y, Z coordinates is GPS (Global Positioning System) and Total station.
Surveying Applications
- Essential part of projects such as:
- Mapping
- Urban planning and subdivision projects
- Dams and drainage projects
- NOT an essential part of:
- Writing novels
Surveying Functions
- Primary purpose in relation to mapping: to gather data for creating accurate maps.
- Primary function of establishing property boundaries: to define and mark the limits of ownership.
- Primary purpose in relation to urban planning and subdivision projects: to plan and design infrastructure development.
- Primary purpose in relation to dams and drainage projects: to design and manage water resource projects.
Surveying Process
- Involves collecting and processing information about the physical earth and environment through:
- Measuring and recording data on the shape, size, and position of objects.
- Analyzing and interpreting data to understand spatial relationships.
- Creating maps, charts, and other visualizations to communicate results.
