Surveying 101 (A)
Description
The learner will gain an understanding of how to use surveying equipment to carry out topographical surveys and set out works. The learner will also
know how to produce site survey plans and sectional drawings for construction projects. Also covered are surveying related calculations such as levels &
gradients, areas and volumes.
Learning Outcomes
Carry out fundamental surveying calculations, read and scale off plans, calculate gradients, convert areas, apply corrections.
Operate an automatic level to carry out surveys and set out levels, calculate levels and gradients, recognise and mitigate against sources of error and apply corrections using standardised procedures.
Use Total Stations & GPS to carry out a topographical survey, import to 3D BIM compatible software and produce the site plan, and set out works on site.
Read and produce longitudinal and cross sectional drawings for works and services.
Calculate areas and volumes of site/construction project earthworks.
