Description
In this module the learner will develop previously acquired surveying techniques to a more advanced level. The emphasis is on development of skills in advanced surveying techniques and equipment. Production of site layout drawings. Data will be collected in the field using Total stations and GPS instruments, downloaded and processed using BIM compatible 3D software. Instruments will be used for setting out proposed works.
