Aim: To communicate survey information gathered in the field.
Assignment Part 1: You have gathered the following information
Results taken during the 2 peg test at Roeburn Hall.
There is a local OSBM near Roeburn Hall and you have transferred the level to a nearby TBM.
You have made a theoretical level survey of an area on Maudland Bank. You have measured an angle with a theodolite.
You have made a closed theodolite survey.
You have set out several points from a base line.
Present the survey information in a structured report that shows the following, including notes on the practical sessions and how results were gathered:
• The readings taken and results of the 2 peg test.
• The readings taken and results of the flying levels from the OSBM to the TBM including reduced levels at the OSBM and TBM and your error.
• The readings taken for the level survey; calculated reduced levels plotted at each intersection and contour lines marked clearly on the plan provided.
• A volume (cut/fill) calculation for the amount of material to be taken away to leave a formation level of 30.000m AOD for a proposed floor slab of a small 12.5mx12.5m building. 35 marks
• The readings taken during the angular measurement exercises and calculations to translate the readings to an enclosed angle on the ground.
• The results, calculations and a plot of the closed survey clearly showing the angles and distances.
• The results (perhaps a photo) of the setting out points. 30 marks
Assignment Part 2: Write 500 words to describe best practice for carrying out an angular and a distance measurement with a total station.
This could include:
How to undertake the exercise, starting from what you do even before you go to site. What measurements do you take on site and how many of each.
What is the procedure for each of an angular measurement and a distance measurement.
What checks do you make before and after each measurement. How do you record the measurements and other information.
How do you take care of the instrument. What risks do you have to consider.
