Synopsis of Course Contents The survey camp will include most of the following tasks:
1. Basic surveying tasks i.e taping, angles, differential leveling and
instrument set-up,
2. Establish the elevations of points relative to known benchmarks,
3. Measure and adjust a closed traverse,
4. Draw a contour map of a given area based on your own measured
data,
5. Road alignment or excavation measurements (slope staking, area and
volume calculations),
6. Layout exercise (buildings etc.)
Parties (groups) consisting of six (seven) members will be established by
camp staff after the introductory briefing. The instruments used will include
electronic total stations, theodolites, and automatic levels. Computers
equipped with a spreadsheet program will be available for traverse
calculations. The task for each group will cover the exercises listed above.
