Training in land measurement, mapping, and geospatial data collection for civil engineering applications
The Surveying Laboratory provides hands-on training in land measurement, mapping, and spatial data collection using both traditional and modern instruments such as levels, theodolites, and total stations.
It develops essential civil engineering skills required for construction, transportation, and land development projects.
Chain, tape, and ranging rod methods for distance measurement.
Theodolite-based horizontal and vertical angle measurement.
Determination of elevation differences using dumpy levels.
Total station-based coordinate and mapping surveys.
Measurement of straight-line distances using field instruments.
Fly levelling and reciprocal levelling for RL determination.
Preparation of contour maps from field data.
Measurement of angles using repetition and reiteration methods.
Digital data collection for coordinates, distance, and mapping.
Laying out simple circular curves for road alignment.
