Study Notes
Project Offices and Operations
- Various project offices include Project Main Office, Project Headquarters, Head Office, and Project Head Office.
- Office Operations involve data research, computations, and mapping with computer-literate personnel knowledgeable in GNSS, GE Surv, AutoCAD, and NMAX software.
- Field Operations focus on reconnaissance, control point setting, observations, and related activities.
Personnel and Work Plans
- A comprehensive list of personnel must be included in the proposed Geodetic Control Work Plan.
- The Geodetic Control Survey Project requires licensed geodetic engineers such as Chief of Party, Assistant Chief of Party, and instrument observers.
- The Work Plan encompasses Project Management and Technical Plans, submitted for NAMRIA approval prior to project initiation.
Financial and Equipment Plans
- The Financial Plan details activity costing and material bills for office and field operations, including miscellaneous expenses like photocopying and certification fees.
- The project must specify equipment allocations for different phases, ensuring that all surveying instruments comply with DAO No. 2007-29 regulations.
Project Duration and Adjustments
- Project duration, expressed in days, should be presented through graphs, PERT-CPM charts, etc., considering terrain and physiographic features.
- Any changes to the approved Project Control Work Plan require prior approval from the Regional Technical Director for Lands.
Survey Control and Identifications
- When conducting independent Survey Control projects, a survey office must be established with specified signboard dimensions.
- Network Design involves plotting control networks and preparing maps with appropriate scale and distance from the poblacion for effective ground survey guidance.
Boundary and Political Surveys
- Political Boundary Surveys establish monuments defining city/municipality boundaries, necessitating comprehensive survey procedures.
- Surveys must adhere to DAO 2008-14 guidelines, with Survey Orders issued by the Regional Executive Director upon recommendations from the Regional Bids and Award Committee.
Survey Authority and Team Composition
- For independent political boundary surveys, geodetic engineers must submit resolutions from local councils and obtain corresponding Survey Authority from the RTD for Lands.
- The Survey Party consists of Geodetic Engineers, members from the Regional Assessment and Delimitation Team, and representatives from relevant government agencies.
Survey Planning and Execution
- Cadastral maps and index maps must be drawn according to LMB prescribed formats for administrative or judicial purposes.
- Accurate plotting of coordinates with clearly defined northing and latitudinal lines is required for survey plans.
Special Work Orders and Standards
- Surveys not covered in the manual will follow special instructions reflecting tertiary accuracy, designated as "Special Work Orders."
- Conducting mineral land surveys is bound by standards set by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau under the Philippine Mining Act.
Documentation and Compliance
- All plots of cadastral surveys must comply with LMB formats, requiring authority clearance for computerized methods.
- Proper documentation through diagrams, elevation lines, and azimuth direction plays a crucial role in effective surveying practice.
