(4 under test

conditions)

LO1. Understand the principles of site surveying,

LO2. Be able to use site surveying instruments ,

LO3. Understand cartographic detailing of construction works

LO4. Understand the software available for site surveying.

Important Information:

Where there is evidence of plagiarism the assignment will be rejected and the candidate will not have an opportunity to re-submit the work. This will, inevitably, jeopardise your chances of completing the unit.

Work that is not handed in on time will not be assessed without an appropriate mitigating circumstances form.

Missing a Practical session will jeopardise your chance of achieving. It will be up to the student to organise alternative practical sessions. Meeting the requirements of your tasks will achieve a Pass grade in that particular criteria.

Higher grades can be achieved by displaying higher grade characteristics across most of your work (see appropriate matrix that follows) Further some

tasks are more likely to attract higher grades (as noted) and others must be completed to achieve higher grade. (as noted)

Surveying Assignments: Throughout the year you will be given practical sessions to enable you to become competent with surveying instruments. These sessions should be

seen as the backbone to producing the other written/calculation work required.

Due to the uncertain nature of the British weather submission dates relating to practical work are not given. You must hand in your work within

two weeks of having done the relevant practical work. Please note that practical work has also an element of written work associated with it but

shown in a different section due to the nature of the unit specification. Always refer to the related tasks as they usually can be completed together.

Other work is purely research and as such can be done whenever you wish but at latest by the date shown on the Scheme of Work (Appendix E).

Ensure that you supply full references (Harvard system presentation slides available on the VLE)

Several tasks will be conducted in exam conditions in class. You will see the questions beforehand (task 23 to 26).

Appendix D shows a map of the campus where practical work will be conducted. Exact area of work will be as confirmed by you tutor.

Scenario You may consider yourself as Site Surveyor for a new greenfield site and are tasked to conduct an initial survey followed by a more detailed survey

to produce a map of the area, then using Secondary points previously determined to set out various buildings and road centrelines.

The stages should be as follows;

Conduct a walk over survey sketch of the area and produce a simple plan to delineate main features.

Transfer an OBM level to the site (from a TBM) for subsequent levelling procedures and Vertical Control during building operation.

Conduct a traverse survey for the area, identifying Primary and Secondary control points.

Conduct a detailed survey of the area based on the traverse conducted earlier using radial tacheometry or other methods (linear surveying).

Produce a map of the area.

Determine the topography of the site by taking ground levels and forming a contour map.

Set out Horizontal control using predetermined Secondary control points (Corner Pegs) for a building. Take appropriate checks to ensure

the setting out is correct.

Set out the centreline pegs for a large radius circular road.

Answers to the tasks should be based on the scenario given above.

In addition to these main tasks further tasks are available to enable you to work towards achieving Higher Grades.
