Module Description: |
Aims 1. To introduce students to the history and development of surveying from ancient civilisations to present day. 2. To introduce the concept of contours & maps in relation to the site/ ground. Including site suitability tests & concept of ground/ soil investigations. To introduce the concepts of ordinance survey maps GPS, GIS, maps, vector maps & raster maps. To demonstrate how maps are utilised in planning for development plans and by design professionals in the construction industry.
3. To introduce students to the concepts of levelling, the use of EDM, Theodolites and Total stations. To demonstrate the process of completing a level survey and book, record and mathematically check the results using the quick check and complete check methods. To introduce students to the process of accurately setting up the dumpy level and check its accuracy by using and recording the two-peg test. 4. To introduce students to the principles of maps, scale, ordinance survey, GPS, GIS. To demonstrate the principles of levelling and calculating ground/ reduced levels on a site. To demonstrate how this data can be used to create and calculate and record contour maps and drawings for a site. 5. To introduce students to the process of calculating and recording areas and volumes of regular and irregular areas and volumes.
