Description

Develop previously acquired surveying techniques to a more advanced level. The emphasis is on the 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 total stations and GPS instruments for surveying and setting out purposes on site.

2.

Use BIM compatible 3D software for site survey ans layout plans, sections, grading analysis, road corridor design.

3.

Carry out computations for coordinate calculation, heights using total stations and horizontal curves.

4.

Understand uses of GIS and file types for construction and civil works projects.

5.

Know how to set out works for construction and civil works

6.

Read and produce Mass Haul diagrams for earthworks planning

Teaching and Learning Strategies

This module will be delivered using a combination of weekly lectures and practicals, and blended learning techniques. This will include frontloaded online recorded tutorials, 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. tutorial recordings plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. uploading assignments and projects). This blended approach (lectures and pre-recorded tutorials) allows students work at their own pace.

Module Assessment Strategies

  • Mid term summative and formative assessment.
  • Continuous practical and project work.
  • Summative Final exam.

 

Repeat Assessments

Re-submission of practical and project work for Autumn exam board and repeat Final exam in Autumn repeat exam session.

Required Reading
2010 Surveying for Engineers Palgrave MacMillan
ISBN 0230221572 ISBN-13 9780230221574

This classic engineering surveying text has been thoroughly updated to include recent developments in the field. New features focus on increasing accessibility for students, including updated illustrations, a new student-friendly text design, plus new pedagogical features within each chapter.

Required Reading
2003-01-01 Construction Surveying and Layout Ingram
ISBN 096474211X ISBN-13 9780964742116

This text is intended for those who are learning or performing surveying field measurement and layout processes. It is suitable for technical and college-level courses in construction sciences, building construction, and civil engineering, and is recommended as a reference for contractors, construction management, engineering, architectural, and design-build firms. With an emphasis on eliminating mistakes and reducing errors, many companies use this text as their field surveying training manual, or provide it to layout personnel for self-study and personal improvement of field and calculation techniques. Anyone who is involved in construction should have this as a resource available for its common-sense approach to surveying and layout activities.
