Abstract (150-200 words)
- Briefly summarize the objectives of the practical exercises, the methodology used,
the key findings, and the significance of these surveying methods in the construction
industry.
Table of Contents
- Include section headings and subheadings with page numbers.
Introduction (200-300 words)
- Provide an overview of the importance of surveying in civil and construction
engineering.
- Introduce the three main surveying techniques covered in the report: Topographic
Survey, Resection, and Setting Out.
- Mention the objectives of each practical exercise.
Section 1: Topographic Survey (400-500 words)
- *Introduction*: Explain what topographic surveying is and its significance in the
civil/construction industry.
- *Methodology*: Describe the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) equipment
and techniques used for the survey. Mention the control point used. - *Findings*: Present the DEM maps, Google Earth map overlay, and the tabulated ENH
coordinates. Include the hand-drawn reconnaissance sketch with annotations.
- *Challenges*: Discuss any obstacles encountered during the survey and how they
were addressed.
- *Figures and Tables*: Label them as Figure 1.1, 1.2, Table 1.1, etc.
Section 2: Resection Surveying (400-500 words)
- *Introduction*: Define resection surveying and its application in construction.
- *Methodology*: Detail the process of collecting data manually and with a Total
Station. Explain how the free station's location is determined.
- *Findings*: Include photographs of booking sheets, the tabulated coordinates,
misclosure calculations, and the map overlay showing free and control points.
- *Analysis*: Compare the manual and Total Station findings.
- *Figures and Tables*: Label them as Figure 2.1, Table 2.1, etc.
Section 3: Setting Out Surveying (400-500 words)
- *Introduction*: Describe the setting out process and its importance in translating
designs into reality.
- *Methodology*: Explain how data from AutoCAD designs were used alongside Total
Station survey data to set out the drainage map.
- *Findings*: Present the overlaid drainage map on the topographic map and the
tabulated setting-out data.
- *Application*: Discuss how this practice is applied in real-world construction
projects.
- *Figures and Tables*: Label them as Figure 3.1, Table 3.1, etc.
Conclusion (200-300 words)
- Summarize the key findings from each section. - Reflect on the learning outcomes of these practical exercises.
- Discuss the relevance and application of these surveying methods in the
construction industry.
