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.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Operate surveying instruments such as total stations and GPS to carry out accurate surveys and setting out works on site.
2.
Use Civil 3D software to create site plans, sites and plots, sections, carry out grading & volumes analysis, road corridors, pipe networks and profiles and road cross sections.
3.
Carry out computations for coordinate calculation, traverse & adjustment, intersecting surfaces, curves.
4.
Discuss uses of GIS for construction, infrastructure and BIM projects.
5.
Set out construction works on site.
6.
Read and produce Mass Haul diagrams for earthworks planning and control on civil engineering projects.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. This will include online lectures (via adobe connect/MS Teams or similar), labs, workshops and site visits augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student-learning needs. A learning platform such as Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of online lectures plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals). This blended approach (lectures and workshops) brings students together to facilitate group learning.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 60% continuous assessment and 40% final exam
- Mid term summative and formative assessment.
- Continuous practical and project work.
- Summative final exam (must pass).
Repeat Assessments
Re-submission of practical and project work for Autumn exam board and repeat final exam in Autumn repeat exams.

Surveying for Construction 5e is an essential textbook for students of engineering new to surveying, and will also appeal to students of building and environmental studies and archaeology. Offering a strong grounding in land and construction surveying, the authors clearly and comprehensively guide the reader through the principles, methods and equipment used in modern-day surveying. Taking into account recent advances in the field, the material has been fully updated and revised throughout including new and up-to-date coverage of levelling, total stations, detail surveys, and EDM. A new chapter on GPS technology has been added. In keeping with the practical nature of the book, there are chapters on setting out construction works and surveying existing buildings, which guide the reader step-by-step through the fundamental procedures. The clear and methodical nature of the explanations, supported by a wide range of exercises and examples, make Surveying for Construction 5e an invaluable and modern introduction to surveying. Key features include: Fully updated coverage and new material throughout, including a new chapter on GPS New Learning Objectives and Chapter Summaries which guide the student through the learning process and highlight the key principles and methods for each chapter Numerous diagrams and figures which give students a clear and detailed understanding of equipment and procedures Extensive boxed examples and exercises that guide students through real-world surveying methods and calculations Website material: online material for creating your own surveying project allows students to practice the methods and techniques they have learnt
