Aims
To introduce the principles and techniques involved in land surveying and setting out on site and demonstrate the use of Imaging and Unmanned Arial Systems for the surveying, inspection and monitoring of construction works including data output integration with digital terrain models and BIM.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Carry out practical surveys and setting out procedures using equipment including tapes, levels, total stations, GNSS receivers and imaging systems.
2.
Undertake relevant surveying calculations using gathered field data.
3.
Undertake setting out calculations using construction drawings.
4.
Use relevant data processing, drawing and modelling software with gathered field data.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Linear measurement, units and the use of OS maps. Errors. Levelling, use of level and staff, levelling procedures and applications. Angle measurement, use of conventional and robotic total stations. Survey controller instruments, onboard software and data to pc transfer. Traverse surveying calculations. Topographic surveys. GNSS RTK, point cloud and aerial imagery data. Post-processing of total station, GNSS, Imaging and UAS output data. Topographic CAD survey and digital terrain modelling software packages. Setting out techniques and procedures for horizontal and vertical control on site. Safety and Risk Assessment in surveying operations.
Module Overview:
Geomatics is the collection, processing, analysis, presentation and management of spatial information which you will develop a knowledge and skill of during this module. In this module you will be introduced to the principles and techniques involved in land surveying and setting out on site. You will learn to demonstrate the use of Imaging and Unmanned Arial Systems for the surveying, inspection and monitoring of construction works including data output integration with digital terrain models and BIM.
