Methodology and Instrumentation

Land Surveying activities that are carried out in an engineering survey area as follows:o Plan metric Control  This involves traverses connected to existing survey marks. As engineering survey sites need to be tied to the local coordinate system, connections to boundary and survey reference marks are important requirements. Solar observations for Azimuth Control are frequently needed. o Vertical Control  Levelling runs are made to Survey Department or other proven Bench Marks o Spot-Heighting  Spot Heights are observed by either tachometry or EDM heighting. o Ground Details  Natural or man-made features are observed picked up by tachometric means. o Profiling  This is necessary survey operation in any road survey is done by levelling along the determined centre-line. o Cross-section

Sections across road or waterways are obtained by levelling at determined intervals y The results of the above survey are to be presented either in analogue (hard copy) or digital format as prescribed by the client. y Engineering Survey require accurate and up-to-date equipment to meet expectations in both accuracy and expediency. Among the instruments that are frequently needed are:a. EDM/Total Station and target system b. Data Recorders c. Levels and Staves d. Computers andPlotters In situation where ready connections to existing datum are not available, Global Positioning Systems may be used. To support the use of Data Recorders and to facilitate field computations, portable computers are being introduced to the surveyors' equipment list. Data processing and production of survey plans in the office are being speeded up by the use of electronic computers, plotters and relevant software.

Gravity Survey

Definition And Purpose Gravity is a resultant force due to the universal gravitation of the earth and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the earth. The strength and direction of gravity varies according to position and time. Gravity, in other words, is a physical index that contains much information about the earth. By measuring the distribution of gravity and its change with time it is possible to know the shape and size of the earth, to estimate underground construction, to study the seismic and volcanic activities and to investigate the viscosity and elasticity of the earth. Gravity field is required for the following:i. ii. iii. To determine the local geiod enabling the reduction of geodetic measurements from the surface of the earth to the reference ellipsoid. To determine the orthometric correction to be applied to precise levelling measurements enabling orthometric heights to be computed. Other uses include prospecting for oil and other minerals, prediction of artificial satellite orbits, measurement of earth tides and other crustal movements and to detect possible changes in the gravitational constant.

Methodology and Instrumentation Gravity observations are either absolute or relative. In absolute measurement it is necessary to measure the actual gravity that exists at the observation point. In relative observation it is necessary to measure only the difference or ratio between the gravity at the base station and the gravity at the field stations. However, we are concerned here with only the relative measurements. For all gravity measurements, all observation points need to be coordinated by appropriate survey techniques. Instruments used for relative gravity observations are portable gravimeters. These instruments are deployed for first and lower orders gravity surveys for the purpose of determining relative gravity values. Eligibility Criteria To ensure accountability and professionalism in the conduct of Gravity Survey it is a must that quality, regulatory and disciplinary control be imposed on firms involved in this filed. The proprietor or partners of these firms must therefore be professionally qualified as well as registered with the Land Surveyors Board To be eligible to carry out this specialized survey, a firm must be equipped with at least a portable gravimeter.

Deformation Survey

Definition And Purpose Deformation Monitoring is a Land Survey activity during which repeated observations are made within a specified time frame for the purpose of detecting and quantifying movements of natural and man-made structures. Such monitoring could be of a routine nature (e.g. a dam at high and low water marks) or made necessary by an abnormal condition (e.g. major works near a tall building)g). Methodology and Instrumentation Detecting and quantifying movements require the use of very precise equipment. Such movements are very small and to accurately measure them requires meticulous fieldwork as well as rigorous analysis of observed data. Methods applicable range from close-range photogrammetry with the use of terrestrial Camera and precision plotters to observation by precise theodolite and levels. Eligibility Criteria To ensure accountability and professionalism in the conduct of Stratum Title Survey it is a must that quality, regulatory and disciplinary control be imposed on firms involved in this filed.
